Crafted With Care

I started Stave & Sound because I wanted a drum that truly felt like mine—one that wasn’t just another mass-produced instrument, but something built with intention. That passion quickly grew into a deep appreciation for the process, and the drummers who chase their own unique voice behind the kit.

Every drum I make is built by hand, one at a time, with the same care and attention to detail that I’d want in my own gear. Whether it’s a custom order designed around your playing style or one of my series drums, my goal is always the same: to create an instrument that feels inspiring every time you sit down to play.

I’m incredibly grateful for every drummer who trusts me to build something for them. Your support means the world—not just for me, but for the craft of handmade instruments. Thank you trusting Stave & Sound to be a part of your musical journey.

Built from the Ground Up

What started as a personal challenge quickly grew into Stave & Sound. From the backyard of my apartment on Fruitville to today, in my garage, I make each drum one at a time. A true labor of love.

Focused on Sound 

Most of the drums I make are designed to be workhorses. Used all the time because it meets so many musical needs.  The sound I strive for is warm, cracking, and full of character—blending the detail of an orchestral drum, the power of you want live, the feel for sitting deep in the pocket, and the precision for rudimental drumming.

Custom Process, Tailored to You

Whether it’s a custom order or a series drum, I work closely with each drummer to create the sound they envision. My goal is to combine elements that cater to their style and give them an instrument that truly connects with them.

Obsessed with Detail

From the bearing edges to every little touch, I focus on the details that make a big difference in how the drum sounds and feels.

Accessible Top-Tier Sound

Stave & Sound drums are about custom craftsmanship and making high-end instruments that anyone can easily dial in for incredible sound. No exclusivity—just the best for drummers who want a unique experience.
