We at Rockett Drum Works listen to the customer. We offer a variety of ways that we can build your dream kit or snare drum, but we also have a few ideas of our own. Every Rockett Drum Works product is made with components we have personally designed or tested. We are constantly working to improve quality.


Rockett Drum Works Lugs

When we started looking into the idea of producing our own lugs we were faced with a variety of options. One of the most common choices for a drum company is to outsource to places like China. We choose to make ours at a local machine shop here in Southern California. There are many philosophies and principals about drum lugs and many of us custom builders love to argue our point.Debate often leads to good solutions and that is the reason we came up with the Rockett Drum Works “Lug Nut” lug. Aesthetically, it looks similar to a small automobile lug nut. It is single point and has a collar that protrudes through the wood, then attaches with a screw. We use a custom rubber grommets / gaskets on our painted and stained kits.

Rockett Drum Works Floor Tom Lugs

We have recently taken that same idea and are ready to produce a similar lug that will be used for our floor tom legs and eventually our bass drum spurs as well. Rockett Drum Works is also proud to offer customers Drum Workshop floor tom legs and bass drum spurs as another custom choice for those drummers who prefer the familiar DW hardware. All of our drum hardware is 100% guaranteed against normal wear and tear.

OUR SHELLS

Quality is our goal. Rockett Drum Works offers several choices when it comes to shell choices and they are ALL good choices:

    • “Kellar” all Maple, Birch and Mahogany drum shells with or without reinforcement hoops.
    • “North American Drum Shells”     all Maple drum shells.
    • “Vaughncraft" Solid drum shells.     (Various exotics available.)
    • "RCI" Acrylic shells
