"Behind the Shell" is more than a process—it's a commitment to creating drums that not only sound exceptional but also embody the thoughtful, deliberate artistry that defines the Free State way. Through this philosophy, we strive to craft instruments that inspire musicians, honor tradition, and push the boundaries of what a drum can be.

The YOURdrum Series is all about crafting the perfect drum tailored specifically to YOU. At Free State Drum Co., we understand that every drummer has unique preferences and needs, which is why the YOURdrum Series offers complete customization from start to finish. Whether you’re chasing a specific tone, feel, or aesthetic, our team collaborates closely with you to design a drum that reflects your personal style and sound. From selecting the wood and veneer to choosing the size, ply, and finish, the YOURdrum Series is about more than just creating a drum—it's about building the drum that's right for YOU.

The MobTown Series is where history meets innovation in the world of drum making.
