Our Story
The Black Bear journey began in 2013 with a simple project of refinishing a donated drumset with new hardware and a little stain. After tweaking a bearing edge (or 4) our founder learned that those humble drums were taken to a level of quality that rivaled those of the big companies. Intrigued by the process, he immediately crafted several more snares, kits and even spent some time refurbishing a few "throw away kits" that are now on stage with several local and regional acts. Black Bear was born!
Now utilizing only the finest in North American plied maple, hammered brass and crafted hardware Black Bear Drum Company is a family owned, team oriented, customer centered business dedicated to sustaining the highest level of artisan, handcrafted drums and drumsets.
