The Drummer’s Choice® is more than a slogan, it’s a fact. After more than thirty years of innovation and tireless dedication to improving the way drum products are made, DW drums, pedals and hardware are the standard by which all others are measured. To get here, it takes more than a working knowledge of the instrument or a few good ideas; it takes a true passion for designing and manufacturing the very best.

was founded in late 1981, when one of the world's great names in cymbal making, Bob 'Sabian' decided drummers deserve better cymbals. Not happy with the quality, sound and relevance of cymbals made at that time, he launched SABIAN. Located in the small eastern Canadian village of Meductic, New Brunswick, SABIAN - most notably The Vault, where cymbals are designed - has since become the global center for cymbal and sound innovation.

With nearly 20 years experience as a bass player/musician, and over 12 years in product management and design, founder Jay Baldemor found himself searching for specific solutions to make his gigging life easier, but discovered that they either did not exist, or players quietly settled for poorly designed products over the last decade or so.

Matt Murphy 2022 Letter of Recommendation

"Hey Murph-

 

Thoughtful and articulate playing my brother! Love a flat ride in an acoustic setting where you can hear the wood of the sticks resonate along with the instruments. Few know how to do that well, I am not one of them, but glad you are."

Cheers!
