Ddrum has heard the call from the drummers of the underground. High energy performance demands gear that can take a beating and still deliver the goods. In creating the Combat Punx, Diablo's latest addition, DDrum wanted to make a kit with a finish so durable, it could stand up to the most heinous abuse. That is why DDrum have taken military-grade camouflage canvas, and heat-sealed it to Diablo's 9-ply Basswood shell. The covering is stitched at the seam to prevent separation, and bonded to the shell with heat and pressure to prevent warpage; making it one of the most durable finishes in existence.

Upgrades like a 20"x22" kick drum with Maple hoops, a 15-ply, 7"x14" snare drum, and the choice of three coverings are -ofcourse- standard equipment. With the Combat Punx in your drumming artillery, get ready to march into the punk rock battlefield and cry havoc.

Ddrum Acoustic Drums

ddrum produces drums that fall into one of several series, each following a motif of beginning with the letter "d" and grouped according to quality and materials used in construction. In addition ddrum is one of several manufacturers that offers customers the ability to customize their own kit from a number of criteria including shell dimensions, finish, and hardware options in what they call the "USA Custom Shop."

Ddrum Snare Drums

Signature snare drums include Travis Smith's signature snare with custom drum wraps by Rockenwraps and Mike Marsh's signature stainless steel snare with a laser engraved finish.

Other snare drums include the Hand Hammered Bronze snare, Birdseye Maple snare, and the solid steel "Grey Ghost" snare drum among many others ddrum also produces deccabons, which are similar in concept to octobans, except that there are ten drums in a full set (hence "decca") as opposed to eight ("octo"). All deccabons are six inches in diameter. They are available with shells made from either clear acrylic or black fiberglass. Drum depths range from 6 inches to 24 inches in 2 inch increments.

Supplies of DDrum kits outside the USA, particularly to the UK, are sparse with long wait times for customers who pre-order kits such as the 7-piece Diablo Death Punx.

Electronic Triggers

ddrum also makes two different styles of electronic drum triggers, the Pro Acoustic Trigger and more affordable Red Shot Trigger. Previously, when ddrum was owned by Clavia Corporation, the makers of the Nord Synthesizer, they manufactured electronic drum modules. The modules have since been discontinued for public sale, however they are still available for live use by the Endorsers.
