The Raven series from British Drum Company represents their most affordable British-built drum kit, combining handcrafted quality with impressive performance.

Inspired by the legendary ravens of the Tower of London, each Raven kit is 100% handmade in Britain using the same cold-press moulding technology found in the company’s acclaimed Legend and Lounge Series. The shells are constructed from cross-laminated birch ply with precision-cut 45-degree bearing edges, delivering a powerful, focused sound with excellent projection. Rack and floor toms feature 8-ply shells, while the bass drum is built with an 11-ply shell for added depth and punch.

Visually, the Raven kit carries a distinct identity. Each drum features the signature Raven vent badge, a nod to the historic inspiration behind the series, along with a sleek black satin interior finish highlighted by a laser-engraved “B” badge. The kit is fitted with British Drum Co.’s Art Deco-inspired Palladium lugs, mounted using a custom isolation system that enhances resonance while maintaining stability.

Designed to deliver boutique craftsmanship at an accessible price point, the Raven series offers a unique blend of heritage, style, and performance.
