Crafting Quality Drums
At Bersoni Custom Drums, I specialise in the stave drum technique, enhancing tonality and projection without compromising sensitivity or playability. I handcraft each drum using a variety of hardwood species, offering more customisation options than traditional plywood drums. This variety allows me to tailor both the sound and appearance to your unique needs.
Dedicated Craftsmanship in Every Drum​
I blend traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements to create drums that not only deliver exceptional sound but also look stunning. Each one I craft is a testament to my dedication and expertise, designed to resonate with your musical style and elevate your performance.
Drum Features & Services
Discover the key features that make Bersoni Custom Drums stand out for musicians seeking quality and authenticity:
Superior Sound
Rich Acoustics
These drums deliver a distinctive acoustic experience, with natural wood providing a rich, deep tone that enhances any musical setting. Each drum is carefully tuned before dispatch, allowing drummers to make further adjustments to suit their personal style.
Striking Design
Aesthetically Pleasing
Beyond their exceptional sound, the drums feature a visually stunning design. Each drum is meticulously crafted and finely turned, resulting in a refined finish that showcases the natural grain of the wood, making a bold impression on stage or in the studio.
Durable Build
Built to Last
Built using the stave construction method, our drums are designed for longevity and resilience. They withstand frequent use while maintaining top-notch performance, perfect for both professionals and enthusiasts.
Servicing
Revitalise Your Drums
Vintage drums have a unique sound, but over time, dirt and wear can affect their performance and appearance. Regular servicing, like cleaning, polishing, re-cutting bearing edges, or fixing surface issues, can restore your drums to their best. If you're not ready to invest in a new kit, contact me to discuss a service or customisation that can give your drums a fresh lease on life.
Hardware Setup
Streamline Your Setup
We've all faced cramped stages where space is tight. A customised rack setup can help you reduce your stage footprint and streamline your gear. Whether you opt for a full rack or a stealth setup, you'll avoid the hassle of swaying cymbal stands and keep your performance steady, even on uneven floors or bouncy stages. Please contact me for further information on this service.
Custom Options
Personalised to Perfection
Contact me to discuss various customisation options, including wood types and finishes. While full customisation might be limited at the moment, I offer choices like different lugs and wood requests to tailor your drum to your personal style. Additionally, you can donate your old drums for me to strip the hardware from, which can be reused on your chosen new drum shell!
Meet the Maker
Made for drumming
I’m Jon and I run Bersoni Custom Drums from Wellington, Somerset. What began as a personal project, during the COVID-19 lockdown with a focused interest in the stave drum technique, has become a passionate pursuit of crafting exceptional drums that not only look fantastic but also deliver an outstanding sound.
​
With over 35 years of my own drumming experience (and a lifetime spent admiring drummers, such as John 'Bonzo' Bonham, Neil Peart, and Mitch Mitchell, to name but a few), I work to ensure that each drum meets the highest standards of quality and performance. My goal is to offer custom drums that provide excellent value and craftsmanship, and as I continue to develop my craft, I’m focused on creating drums that will be considered heritage pieces—works of art that will resonate with musicians for years to come.
I am thrilled to be doing what I love and look forward to helping you discover the drum that’s just right for you.
