Heya guys, I'm the web guy for Bernie Stone. He's a well respected drum maker in Ft. Wayne, IN. and about 10 years ago he bought the old Slingerland molds and dies. Over the course of time he slowly rebuilt and reengineered all the working and now he has a full production shop that can crank out hundreds of ply shells of any sort of variety other than the usual maple (Keller) and birch (Eames).
Anyhow, just wanted to pass that on to you guys and drop the site on yas. http://stonecustomdrum.com
I'll be getting a lot more pics at NAMM for the site, as I recently rebuilt it using what was there and I need more. (And quite frankly, I want to get someone else's mug up there playing Bernie's kits because right now I'm the only cat out there with a SCD kit (Serials 002-006, baby!)
So anyhow, check us out. We build for short runs and long production hauls. If you need 1000 shells in whatever wood we can crank 'em out. If you need One, we can do that too.
I want to make it clear that we are NOT looking to be "the next Slingerland" but would prefer to be "the first Stone Custom". There's similarities in the cosmetics of the drums but I can assure you, these are of a completely different pedigree.
