British Made Birch Shells

The British Drum Co Legend kit is constructed from 100% Scandinavian birch which is hand crafted into cross laminated 10 ply / 6mm shells.

The cross-lamination process utilises alternating vertical and horizontal grains to deliver a super strong and durable shell despite its thin size.

Meanwhile the thin 6mm profile serves to provide a drum shell with superb resonance for full projection with a naturally lower fundamental tone.

The combination of the two works to ensure a drum kit with very strong shells and brilliant resonating tone.

Each of the shells are also finished with 2 ply reinforcement rings to provide extra strength and to add improved focus to the shell tone.

45 Degree Bearing Edges

All of the shells in the BDC Legend kit are finished with precision cut 45 degree bearing edges to add fast attack and deep control to the sound of the drums.

The use of a 45-degree bearing edge works to provide superb projection ideal for live performance.

Helping to catapult the full breadth of tone produced by the birch shells, the 45 degree bearing edges give this kit a modern, immediacy to its sound.

From Studio To Stage

The British Drum Co Legend kit offers a brilliantly wide tuning range and great versatile tone.

From clean, projecting highs to full deep, punchy lows, this BDC kit offers a wide range of tone to fulfil a variety of playing styles and settings.

Whether you need the cut to pierce through the mix on stage or want the robust depth of tone ideal for the studio, this drum kit delivers.

From the big thunderous tone of rock to the delicate intricacy of jazz, this drum kit is capable of achieving a plethora of sounds to ensure you achieve the tone you need.

Cold-Press Moulding

One of the key features of British Drum Co, and what sets them apart from other drum builders, is their cold press moulding process.

Delivering what they believe to be the key to a stable drum shell, the absence of heat when pressing and moulding the shells is what gives each drum it’s signature BDC sound.

While some manufacturers use heat during their shell building process, British Drum Company prefer to allow their timber and shells to naturally acclimatise to the surrounding environment before and after moulding.

British Drum Co believe this cold mould process produces the most stable drum shell possible and is the secret to that great British Drum Co sound.

Wonderful Winchester

One of a selection of British Drum Co’s Exo-Tone finishes, the Winchester Grey finish offers a sleek light grey aesthetic that exudes high end style.

The cold press moulding process allows BDC to put the laminate finish into the mould as the first layer of the drum shell.

This means there is an exceptionally strong bond between the finish and the shell as the finish laminate is technically part of the shell.

The laminate is precisely cut and perfectly fitted so that both ends butt up together before being covered with a stylish laser cut Exo-Tone strip.

This attention to detail ensures there is no wrap lift, overlap or splitting meaning the finish will remain in long lasting pristine condition.

Putting the finish laminate in the mould during the shell building process also means the shell is the correct size, unlike other companies who wrap the shell after moulding.

This means drumheads fit and sit better on the shells to provide improved tuning and response.

Palladium Hardware

Adding a beautiful touch of elegance to the finish, each of the shells of the BDC Legend kit are adorned with drum co’s stunning Palladium hardware.

Inspired by the architecture and automotive design of the Art Deco period, the stylish palladium hardware provides an instantly classic look.

The toms are fitted with small single lugs while the bass drum has larger single lugs.

The 22” bass drum is also fitted with cast alloy claws which echo the palladium lug styling and feature Shore 60 hardness moulded rubber gaskets to protect the wooden hoops.

The 12” rack and 16” floor tom are both fitted with Palladium tom brackets that feature a vertical fixing that ensures minimal contact with the shell to deliver full 360-degree resonance.

The brackets also feature an internal chevron feature that provides a secure hold of tom arms and floor tom legs and serves to prevent rotation.

Each tom bracket is fitted with a self-aligning and visually integrated memory lock to deliver clean looks and to ensure easily replicable settings.
