C&C Drum Company

Kansas City maker of thin vintage-spec kits

C&C builds thin mahogany, maple, and poplar shells with reinforcement rings, aimed squarely at the 1960s sound rather than the modern one. The Player Date and Gladstone lines put the company on stages with a generation of Americana and indie drummers.

  • C&C Gladstone

    Drum kit · United States

    The Gladstone line takes the same thin-shell approach into maple with more elaborate hardware and finish work, aimed at drummers who want the vintage voice without the vintage condition.

  • C&C Player Date

    Drum kit · United States

    Player Date kits use thin mahogany, poplar, or maple shells with reinforcement rings and minimal hardware, and the resulting warm, quick-decaying tone put C&C behind a wave of Americana and indie rock records.
