Unlike other drum companies who set up a router one way to arrive at an overall “acceptable” bearing edge, we painstakingly cut graduated bearing edges — the appropriate bearing edge for the size and type of drum to maximize tuning range and projection.
Then there is our lug. This proprietary design is wrought from aircraft aluminum and houses a solid brass insert that provides true axial alignment. That’s the key to precise drum tuning. This lug will never rust or pit. It also costs nearly 10 times that of the average lug found on other custom drums.
Heck, even the screws we use are far superior — solid aircraft stainless. Attention to detail can be seen in every aspect of a Ford drum.
Now let’s talk about what you readily see. The finish. We offer virtually unlimited finish options including gloss or satin lacquer, fade, burst, exotic veneer, custom graphics, or the myriad of wraps currently available to all drum companies. Moreover, we are the only drum company in the world to provide a line of drums with our exclusive BTS elastomer finish with Kevlar®. This virtually bullet-proof finish is the most road-worthy in the world. No more worries about transporting your drums in a hot car. Or the fear of a roadie knocking over a mic stand into your beloved bass drum.
