Let's have a conversation.
Every drummer has a kit they've imagined. Our first conversation covers sizes, woods, finish, and the sound you're chasing.
Custom doesn't have to mean out of reach.
Every build is unique, but these prices provide a good starting point.
Custom Drum Kits
Custom Snare Drums
Every quote includes a written build specification, estimated timeline, and regular progress updates throughout your build.
If you've always wanted a custom drum set but assumed it was out of reach, I'd encourage you to reach out anyway. You might be surprised at what's possible.
Custom mixed. Every time.
Every finish is custom mixed to what you want. We'll work together to get the finish that's in your brain.
Suspended in every Cipher finish is a hidden layer of glitter. Invisible in daylight. Alive under stage lights.
It follows the Cipher philosophy: always in the background, never announced. That same philosophy is built into every drum and woven into the finish itself.
No black holes.
Ordering a custom drum set shouldn't feel like dropping your money into a black hole.
Years ago, I ordered a custom drum set and then waited through months of silence. My friends and I joked that they were still waiting for the perfect maple tree to grow before they could build it.
It was funny.
But it also made me wonder if I'd ever see my drums.
I never want anyone ordering a Cipher kit to feel that way.
From our first conversation to the day your drums arrive, you'll work directly with me. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can watch your drums come together one step at a time.
Building a custom instrument should be part of the experience — not something that happens behind a closed door.
Here's what I promise every customer.
- Honest, prompt communication.
- Regular build updates with photos.
- Careful craftsmanship from start to finish.
- If something changes, you'll hear it from me first.
- I'll continue learning and improving with every build.
- I'll stand behind every drum that leaves my shop.
The goal isn't simply to build a beautiful drum set.
The goal is to build one you'll still be proud to own years from now.
Every drummer has a kit they've imagined.
I'd love to hear about yours.
