Bass Drums
All Drummers Service drums are completely custom-made. We work with you to craft a fine, heirloom-quality instrument that you will enjoy seeing and love playing for many years to come.
You may choose from a variety of woods, ropes and finishes. Both rod-tension and rope-tension styles are available.
Rope-TensionThe rope-tension marching bass drums are especially prized by musicians who carry forward the grand traditions of the fife-and-drum corps. Concert rope-tension bass drums on the Abel stand provide a traditional look and tuning method that is a striking and elegant sight on the concert stage. |

Rod-TensionThe rod-tension bass drum has become the instrument of choice for symphony orchestras all around the world. Part of the great popularity of these instruments is the proprietary, height-adjustable, fully-suspended stand designed by PAS Hall-of-Famer Alan Abel. |
