The Famous Drum Company is owned by Evan Thomas and George Lawrence. The single ply steam bent shells are made from scratch by Evan in his wood working shop in Phoenix. They rival the single ply shells made by Craviotto, Noble and Cooley and Slingerland Radio King. Our drums are half the price of other single ply drums. We also make raw shells for drum builders. While our stock drums use the standard hardware and heads that you see in the pictures above, we also offer a variety of hardware and drum heads for those who want something a bit different.
