Brady Drum Company

Brady Drums were notable for several factors of their drum construction. Firstly, the original badge was hand-made using a meticulous micro-marquetry technique using at least 31 different wood species to create the image of the drummer, drum, and trade mark.^[2] Secondly, Brady Drums first used a single ply drum shell made not from bent wood, but a hollowed out trunk which was also an industry first, and likely helped Brady propel in notoriety.

The company's client list includes many drummers such as Will Calhoun, Steve Ferrone, Mick Fleetwood, Chad Smith, Patrick Wante, Jeff Porcaro (formerly), Larry Mullen, Jr, Tre Cool and Thomas Lang.^[3] Though the company manufactured all drums shells, their fame is gained from their snare drums.^{[citation needed]}

In April 2015, Brady Drum Company ceased production of their instruments, following Chris Brady's ongoing health complications. In November 2015, Brady Drum Company announced the closure of the company via its official website and Facebook page.^[4]
