Civil War Drums
And Accessories
At this point, All of our American drum suppliers
have either retired or passed on.
So far we have not been able to secure a willing supplier
If anyone knows of a maker in the US please let us know
Currently we are not selling drums
We do still carry our own Drum Slings (see below), Drum Sticks and Brass Drum Stick Holders
The most commonly used CW Period drum is the 16" X 16", 16"
X 18" and 13" X 16". The most popular seller today is 16"
X 16".
These feature natural wood sides, colored hoops (red predominately), rope
with leather tighteners, bottom snare, and a hanging device. We stock drums
with "Fiberskin Heads" for better stability during humidity and climatic
changes. The ropes we use, while natural looking, are synthetic to avoid the
climate changes as well. It is difficult to tell these departures from the original
unless under close scrutiny.
Each drum bears it's own unique serial numbered period type label on the inside
(viewable through the weep hole) which includes the date of manufacture, as
well as the makers signature.
