FINE SOLID WOOD DRUMS
MADE BY HAND IN AUSTRALIA.
Our part of the world has an abundance of timbers ideal for use in musical instruments.
Rich in tone and visually stunning.
We specialise in crafting the finest stave drum sets and snares utilising those timbers.
Our drum shells and wood hoops are made entirely in house and combine with premium quality hardware to create our
sound and aesthetic.
With a build quality rivaling the most elite drum builders in the business, Swan Drums have mastered the art of creating incredible sounding drums whilst retaining a flawless aesthetic and attention to detail. They are full, resonant and detailed.
I've used my Swan snare in many, many recordings for various artists and on sampling sessions for That Sound, a boutique sample company based in Nashville. It's tonal variety always amazes the various drummers who play it in my studio, and the sound in the mix always gets comments. If you're in the market for your next (and last?) snare drum, check out Swan Drums. I'm excited to see Swan have released full kits. I can't imagine they are anything less than stunning

As a live FOH engineer I absolutely love the sound of the snares that Swan Drums have supplied for us.
Great full sound with a good crack! I like the vintage look too.
These drums are made with love and it shows in the finished product. I recommend these drums highly.

The moment I was handed my Swan Drums snare, there was an immediate connection to something wonderful.
The drum imbued a genuine rarity, it's gorgeous vintage feel, and workshop fresh aesthetic was humming with spirit and purpose. I felt immense gratitude, just admiring and cradling this prized posession of exquisite craftsmanship.
And the moment I played it...well, I knew I'd found a life-long musical partner, one I'd been searching for across many years as a professional musician. The warm timbers, the stave shell and hoops, sang with such depth and sparkle there was nothing at all to do to 'get it right'. And now after many years of recording, touring, gigging, jamming, lugging and practising, it's versatility to adapt and shine in any number of musical situations is still beyond comparison.
It continues to evoke compliments and enquiries from punters, fellow musicians, technicians and crew after every outing.
I find myself still... just looking at it in admiration!
The day I was invited to play the Swan kits, I realised the magic encapsulated in my snare, indeed was now magnified through the entire through the entire expanded setup. Every drum held that same essence of awe, tone and beauty. All together it was something exceptional.
If you are anything like me, wanting reliable and beautifully bespoke drums that only get better with age, then I'm sure within the Swan Drums creations... you will find what you desire.

Swan Drums make some of the nicest drums I've ever played.
Ben's attention to detail is incredible and he has created classy, beautiful looking and sounding drums.
It is a pleasure to play them.
