Calderwood Percussion

Calderwood Percussion is a custom shop based out of Boston, MA, primarily focused on rope tension and concert percussion.
We do everything from historical replicas for re-enactors to giant rope tension bass drums, which barely fit through the shop door, and anything in between.
We also fix, restore, and preserve old drums for private collectors, as well as museums.
Our rope tension snare drums can be heard throughout the Broadway show Hamilton: An American Musical, as well as the Black Sails and Outlander television series/soundtracks.

  • Calderwood Rope Drum is OUTSTANDING

    The quality craftsmanship that is evident in this drum is fantastic. The drum sounds incredible, the fit and finish is great. The idea of having some modern amenities as well as the traditional rope tensioning makes this quite the user-friendly, durable, and beautiful drum! ... couldn't be happier with this Calderwood Drum!
