ooden Cross Hardware understands that creating  a custom drum, whether it is an older drum with new life or a unique drum from the shell out, is not an easy decision.  There are a lot of choices to be made that will affect how your drum sounds and looks. A custom drum is an extension of the drummer, not just musically but as a unique visual portrayal of the drummer's style.  WCH will walk with you through the selection of each shell, lug, head, & hoop to make sure that you have what you want & deserve in quality, style, & musicality.  More and more options continue to become available.  Standard ply maple shells (6-15ply, 20-ply, 30ply, & more), acrylic, or metal (Steel, aluminum, titanium, etc.) are all options to be chosen from to make that unique drum that will be all you!

After drumming now for over 25 years, It is Paul's belief, and the goal of WCH Custom Drums, that every drummer should have an instrument that reflects their own personal style as well as a beautiful sound. Paul tries to keep things simple in his drum designs. This will reflect in his design ideas as well as the focus on quality.  Almost as important as quality, the focus to make your drum(s) unique to you and exactly what you want to play for years to come.

 

Here are what a couple of drummers have said about their unique WCH drums and experience:

"Every step of the process, the hardware and design choices were easy and painless. This guy (Paul Hunt) knows how to give a customer exactly what they are looking for in custom made drums. You have virtual total control of all aspects of your customizing choices. I needed a piccolo snare to match a Sea Green Lacquer DW Kit I play out with every other weekend. WCH fit the bill perfectly. Affordable! I mean very affordable!

Paul’s personal touch and customer contact was awesome! I didn’t feel like just another one of the masses buying drums from one of the big companies. I plan on going to WCH for all my drum building needs."

“As awesome as the pictures are, they don't even come close to the real thing...

I am absolutely in LOVE with that drum!!!!!
Me, my mom, my girlfriend, my step dad, my dad, my brother(s), and every other random person that came through the house today were absolutely amazed by your creation...everyone that's seen it so far has just been in awe. and it hasn't even left my house yet.”
