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.
