C&C Drum Co. is a small, independent company based in Gladstone, Missouri. We are comprised of musicians and craftsmen who share a common bond, the love of music. This bond connects us to our drums and the people who play them. We’ve never tried to be the flavor of the moment or cater to the latest whim. Our goal has always been to build something of lasting value. We are dedicated to making the best drums we possibly can—drums that will outlive us to become a legacy.

James Mackin released his new album, Human Condition, in October. He is Artist in Residence at An Táin Arts Centre, in Dundalk, Ireland.
“I grew up on rock, pop and electronic music. In my 20’s I became a huge fan of improvisation in general which the broad definition of jazz encompasses.”
On C & C:
“Honestly, the tuning of the drums is the one thing that gets me every time. I’ve had engineers talk about their sound. When a non-drummer asks about the drum sound it’s definitely working. And, they have that timeless, cool look to them.”
