BLEND SERIES

ONE DRUM - THREE WOOD RINGS

Three meticulously chosen wood types, layered in harmony to produce a rich, multidimensional tone that evolves with every strike.

A SENSORY EXPERIENCE

The BLEND series design reflects a deep mastery of how wood shapes sound, much like a chef carefully curates ingredients for a perfectly balanced dish.  My journey began with North American maple, whose high glucose content naturally softens overtones, producing a warm, sweet resonance.  This glucose influences the wood’s vibrational properties, much like tannins shape the character of wine, adapting to its environment.

 

By combining woods with distinct cellular structures, BLEND drums achieve tonal harmony, offering musicians a sensory experience where sound, texture, and subconscious perception merge into a symphony crafted for the human experience.

HARMONIC. REFINED. UNMATCHED.

A fusion of expertly selected woods, crafted for tonal depth and balance. Every strike resonates with warmth, clarity, and a complexity that evolves over time.  BLEND is more than a drum—it’s an instrument of precision, designed for those who seek sonic artistry beyond the ordinary.

STORYTELLING
THROUGH SOUND

Inspired by my experience as a chocolate-making hobbyist, this drum design blends woods with a story as rich and complex as the finest chocolate.

 

North American Maple, soft and sweet like cocoa butter, delivers the first clear, enveloping note. Mahogany, balanced like Criollo cocoa, mediates between Maple and Wenge, an exotic and tannic wood like Forastero cocoa, bitter, dark, and powerful.

 

Together, these woods create a symbiotic relationship, bringing to life a unique and balanced sound.

DYNAMIC FLAVOR

Crafted from multiple woods, BLEND offers a layered, expressive voice - rich in character, tuned for depth, and designed for dynamic players.

VERTICAL GRAIN STAVE SHELLS

Each vertical-grain stave is built from individually selected woods and contributes to a complex tonal profile, creating rich texture, dynamic response, and balanced projection.

DRUMS AS UNIQUE AS

YOUR SOUND

Just like a gourmet dish, the BLEND series is crafted from carefully selected layers—each wood chosen for its tonal texture, density, and personality. With every combination, we shape a new sonic flavor: crisp attack, warm resonance, subtle overtones, or rich sustain.

Each BLEND drum is a fusion of aesthetics and acoustics—assembled like ingredients in a signature recipe.  Whether you crave the punch of red fruits cheesecake or the smooth depth of a bean-to-bar chocolate, no two are exactly alike. 

This is versatility with a voice.  A drum that plays like you: layered, expressive, and unforgettable.
