Stone Custom Drum was founded in 2005 by drummer Bernie Stone, who purchased the former Slingerland drum equipment and refurbished it to today’s standards. For 25 years prior to purchasing the equipment, Stone had been an independent drum craftsman, building everything from Civil War re-enactment drums to complete “one-off” custom drums. Stone Custom Drum is a NAMM member.
Bernie Stone “the man that makes the drums” was born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1962. He started taking drum lessons at the age of 11, which he did for one and one-half years. At age 12, he began playing country and western gigs in Columbus bars with his grandfather.
