Craft Drum Company - Where it began...
Our Founder
The story of Craft Drum Company comes from the founder’s love of music, particularly drums and percussion. Hesston has a long history in music from touring to recording, writing and publishing, to teaching and education. Along the journey Hesston achieved multiple endorsements and worked with some incredibly talented musicians, touring throughout the southern USA and Midwest.
As a lifelong percussionist, Hesston envisioned two things in a drum company. First – options. Drummers should have options when it comes to the construction and materials of their drums. Second – design. Our designs are simplistic and pure. Our designs are meant to represent the classic look and feel with a touch of individuality, based on what the musician is looking for. Our drums are built one at a time with individual attention to each detail and step in the process.
If you are a drummer looking for a custom build, shoot us a message and we can begin working together. If you are a drummer looking for something American made in the state of Wisconsin, check out our store. And, if you are an artist looking for a company to collaborate with, request an artist application.
The history of Hesston's collaboration with musicians includes other regional acts and the internationally known and touring Scott Shipley.
