The sheer number of different parts that we stock, make, or collect (including historic) is pretty massive, and are not all represented on this page. Contact us, and we'll get (or make) you what you need!

Loyal Drum Cleat

"Cleatus"

The biggest advancement in rope-tensioned drums since the Flam.

  • Replaces the need for the pigtail
  • Eliminates the need for knot work on your drum
  • Simplify the maintenance process
  • Tension when you need it

  • Handmade, with 3 exhaustive years of iterations and testing— now available. Patent-pending.
  • Using our "583 method" and the Cleatus, a rope-tensioned drum can be pretensioned in a few minutes, by a novice.

Cases

We typically use (and stock) Meinl cases for our snare drums, and Ahead Armor cases for bass drums. Humes and Berg Tuxedo cases also available by special order.
