Operating out of Gladstone, Missouri for over twenty years and spearheaded by master drum smith Bill Cardwell, C&C Custom Drums is an institution in salon shop companies. Loved by players ranging from Bryan Devendorf of The National to Josh Eppard of Coheed & Cambria, the vintage construction and inimitable quality of a C&C kit or snare transcends player, genre, and even decade. Constructed entirely by hand from personally selected plies ranging from maple and mahogany to exotic options such as Luan and acrylic, the shells' signature sound is complemented by a cadre of customized finishes from stain to sparkle and even abalone. When you're talking quality in terms of drums, you only need to know two letters: C and C.
