Eddie Ryan Custom Drums - Established London 1971

"Old Drums Never Die If They Are Renovated and Re-Covered!"

All makes and types of drums recovered and renovated.

Drum Renovation

All drum renovations include:

  • Stripping and assembling
  • Re-finishing bass drum hoops
  • Cleaning all heads
  • Filling unwanted holes
  • Polishing chrome
  • Fitting bass drum pedals protection pad
  • Re-fitting badges

All recovery is done by machinery.

I can customise, repair or recover/re-finish any make of drum including Pearl, Ludwig, Yamaha, Hayman etc.  I specialise in Gretsch.
 

The advantage of having an older kit renovated is the fact that a lot of older drums ie. Ludwigs, Gretsch, Slingerland, George Wade, Ajax, Premier, Camco, have shells that are of a higher quality and the end product is better than buying a cheaper mass produced kit. For example Premier Drums, 40's , 50's and 60's - re-doing bearing edges, fitting new heads, spurs, tom tom holders etc. and with a new finish will be better than most modern factory built drums of today.
