Turns centuries old wood into musical Instruments. Old-growth heartpine, reclaimed from tobacco barns, plantation homes, mills or bridges built before 1900, gives us a level of quality unmatched by other drum builders. In their previous lives, this wood stood firm against wind and rain, endured the constant punishment of work boots, falling toys and family pets, and supported the machines that built America. There are stories in this wood, stories that deserve to be preserved. Outlaw Drums uses old time craftsmanship with modern tools to bring ancient wood back to life as stave and segment drums. We specialize in building showcase drums from 200-600 year old reclaimed wood from barns, gymnasiums, historical houses, decommissioned bridges, and fallen trees.
