Finishes

Most custom drum companies will tell you that the options are endless. And while we at DrumMax will work with you to put whatever idea you can come up with into your drums, we specialize in three key areas:

Custom Exotic Woodworked Designs – High Gloss or Satin

Our wood craftsmen and artisans can create virtually any design in exotic woods and make that design exclusive to you. That means no one else in the world will have that design but you. Combine woods in unique configurations and designs or have an entire kit designed in a single exotic wood. Choose from:

  • Ash
  • Red Oak
  • White Poplar
  • Hickory/Pecan
  • Cherry
  • Hard Maple
  • Walnut
  • African Mahogany
  • Soft Curly Maple
  • Padauk
  • Jatoba (Brazillian Cherry)
  • Purpleheart
  • Sapele
  • Goncola Alves (Tigerwood)
  • Bubinga
  • Shdua
  • Canarywood
  • Hard Curly Maple
  • Zebrawood
  • Birdseye Maple
  • Wenge
  • Honduran or Caribbean Rosewood
  • Bacote
  • South American Rosewoods
  • Brazilian and Macassar Ebonies
  • Cocobolo

Custom Handpainted Artist Designs

Our in-house artists can create a design from virtually anything you can come up with. Heck, we once had them create a drum kit inspired from a pair of shoes. Whether it’s a pile of angry skulls, making your kit look like a steel oil drum, tattooing the hell out of your kit, or just painting something insanely beautiful, our artists will develop a stunning, one-of-a-kind creation that no one has ever seen.

Custom Wraps

Every custom drum company has wraps, and sure, we can do the standard solids, glitters, patterns, marbles, and more. But where DrumMax shines is in our custom wraps in standout designs and patterns created just for you. From the hardcore, in-your-face black and red stars to anime and Japanese art to acid splatters, your wrap will be as unique as you are. Have us create something just for your or send us a photo of your choice and we’ll translate that into a wrap.
