C&C Custom Drums Europe

Our drums start from wood. Not round, perfectly formed pre-fabricated shells, but flat sheets of the most beautiful, perfect wood one can acquire. These same sheets could have been used to make a couch or a cabinet, a desk or a door. And in the right hands it would have been the best couch, cabinet, desk or door you could find. That’s not what we do at C&C Drum Company though. At C&C, we make the best shells you can find from those sheets of wood. We cut, glue, pressure mold, sand and route every shell we make, and if it’s not perfect we start over. It’s as simple as that. We do it because we care about the drums we make, just as much as you care about the drums you play.

Gladstone Shells

Gladstone Shells are made from the woods of the nearby and renowned Gladstone Woods. They are produced by C&C with the passion and vision to create different, exceptional shells. The willingness to experiment with – sometimes unique – wood combinations is what gives C&C kits their one-of-a-kind sound.
