The Humdrum Team

Seven is an amazing custom drum company and we encourage you to check out their stuff at www.sevendrumworks.com

Stay tuned to Humdrum for upcoming new partnerships…we will be dealing in custom made drums again soon! In the meantime, continue to get great deals on cases and microphones at our store.

We are happy to announce that we now offer gift certificates to be used on any products that Humdrum sells. Check them out here. With Christmas fast approaching, we see this as the perfect way to give the drumming enthusiast custom drums or cases without actually knowing the specs for what he really needs. Besides, if you were to actually order custom drums now, they would not be ready to give at Christmas.  So let them build their dream kit for themselves. Check out the gift certificates!

We are working on opening up our purchasing and shipping so we can take international orders and have the kits sent to you.  That should happen soon.  In the meantime please call us or contact us trough our form if you are interested in an interational shipment.

“ The tom-tom reverberates with a sonorous boom. Up until now drums have been about assertion and empowerment but this is new. Into my young quavering hand has been placed the rudder of this sacred ship. I can only be a servant of the powerful emotional force that has been created in this ancient stone shrine. All of us are joined at this moment by the momentum of our shared ritual, and I am the beating heart. I am nothing, no one. Just the beating heart of a larger body, enveloped by the soul of the faithful. A synapse closes in the mind of the enraptured protoshaman.
Next morning, when my head clears, it seems obvious that music isn’t just a tool or a weapon, it’s what my life is for. It’s powerful juju, and I want to own it as much as it owns me.”

I realize that that was probably a long and pretty heavy excerpt and believe me, a lot of the book is very light hearted but I really love that passage. Stewart here and in other parts of the book analyzes that interesting dichotomy that propels a musician to attain the level he has achieved. Utter respect and love of music and the arrogance it takes to attempt to master it.
But wait, there’s more! You also get other aspects of Stewarts life which includes film and tv scoring, opera composing, polo, hanging out and sometimes jamming with a younger set of musicians, making films…..you get the idea. He certainly likes to keep himself busy.
Stewart Copeland has been a huge influence and source of inspiration to me and I suspect many drummers of my generation. There is no mistaking that sound for anyone else. The highly pitched snare, the sparkling cymbals, that infectious groove. His exuberant personality oozing out of the kit. Totally unique. The man loves playing his drums. I love that in a drummer. Strange Things Happen shows that he also seems to love life. Hmmm…there could be a connection there somewhere….

If you go the Shine custom kits section of the site, you will have the opportunity to customize a 3 or 4-piece kit.  All your customization choices get applied to each drum in the kit, so you only have to make your selections once.

To make the whole process easier for you, we asked the folks over at Shine what the most common drum sizes are for 3 and 4-piece kits…and those are the sizes we make available when you create your kit.  You get to choose all other options and upgrades that Shine has available.  We did this just for your convenience, since size can sometimes be the hardest thing to decide on.  But if you want to customize the sizes of your drums, just give us a call…or you can do it the original way – build one drum at a time, which lets you choose diameter and depth.

So check it out…and don’t forget – you save on sales tax when you order from us (except on shipments to New York State) and right now we are offering free shipping!

Also check out Shine’s home page for info on the drums and customizations they offer.

We plan to add more interviews in the near future so be sure to check back!
