hand-crafted instruments for everyone
"Everything about its construction ... shouts top quality"
Simon Mellish
Carrera Drums is an independent drum making company based in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.
We are driven to produce THAT sound, the one all drummers have in their head, and we believe tuned high or low, recorded or live, our handmade shells deliver it.
Hand-crafted drum shells
Carrera drums makes custom drum shells by hand from 100% Finnish birch, sometimes with additional tonewoods, to our customer's specifications.
Custom snares and kits
We can build our hand-made shells into finished snare drums and kits to your exact requirements in a range of finishes.
