Intorducing Axiom Percussion

Axiom Percussion is an small guild of drum geeks, percussion junkies and master craftsmen who set out over a decade ago on a quest for the "holy grail" of drum instrumentology. In the history of our association, we've just about covered every conceivable custom configuration imaginable in the custom drum building world and have reached a single unified conclusion, an axiom if you will: Nothing sounds quit as good as an solid wood snare drum!

We are drummers building drums, for drummers. We manifest our combined knowledge of drums, drumming and drum making in our product by never straying from our original directive; to build the best sounding snare drums in the world.

We make our own shells from hand selected, choice hardwoods. We make one drum at a time, the old-world artisan way. We invite you to listen to the difference you will make with an Axiom Percussion solid wood snare drum.

Available drums

5.5"x14 Bubinga Stave







  • .5" thick solid wood shell
  • satin lacquer finish
  • brass tube lugs
  • brass over die-cast counter hoops
  • Nickel strainer (upgrade available)
  • choice of snare wires

Description: A strikingly beautiful instrument with very rich grain. The masterfully cut, book-matched joints are near invisible to the eye. The shell is 0.5" thick solid Bubinga with a two layer steam bent African Mahogany reinforcement ring. The sound of this drum very loud but also very focused. The shell was cut with an offset double 45° "sharp" edge for more sensitivity and wetter tone. The snare beds are cut .09" deep and run approximately 7.5" wide. As with all solid wood shell snare drums, rim clicks and rim shots are absolutely amazing. This snare drum in particular is no exception. A full mp3 and video portfolio is coming soon which will include samples of this drum's sound in many different applications including different tunings and playing styles.

$750 USD Shipping and insurance included*
