Bowie Custom Drum

[Kevin_S]

Hi Everyone,

I am Kevin Smee of Bowie Custom Drum located in Bowie, Maryland. I have built drums out of my small Maryland shop for about two years. My background as hobbyist drummer, former machinist and amateur furniture maker prompted me to build drums and it has been a nice merger!

I strive to provide drummers with a high quality drum built of the best obtainable materials and hardware at a reasonable price and with fast turnaround.

Snares have been my main area of specialty, but I do kits as well.

Try me out. You will NOT be disappointed!

I can personally vouch for Kevin - here are two snare drums he built for me:

5.5x14 steambent rosewood shell (by Vaughncraft, of course)
double 45 degree bearing edges with slight roundover
Ludwig P86 throw and P33 butt
Top hoop is a COB from a Jazz Festival snare drum and the bottom is a COS triple flange
German steel snare wires


5.5x14 Vaughncraft olive ash shell
Double 45 bearing edges
Hardware: Trick throw/butt, generic lugs, Rogers tallboy hoops, and other miscellaneous stuff laying around.
