Risen Drums

Drum Roll Please…This week I want to feature a company that truly motivates me to play percussion. I stumbled upon this company about 3 years ago when I was just searching on Google for custom drums. There are many companies that have saturated the custom drum market, as well as many go-to companies because of the awesome branding and marketing they have done. However, this one company caught my eye, Risen Drums.

When I entered the Risen Drum website, there was already something different about it. Not only is the site kind to the eye, but it is also easy for anyone to learn what Risen Drums is all about. On the intro page, there is a video where founder, Keith Anderson, talks about the brand and his passion.

So what is Risen Drums all about? The brand is centered on passion and God. Keith is so passionate about drums that he figured why not make them himself. I had the opportunity to interview Keith about one year and a half ago. During the interview, he spoke about how he just dove into the deep end when it came to learning how to build drums. He kept swimming deeper and deeper to find the uniqueness he so desired and he found it in the venting process. Every drum has holes built around it to allow the air to escape when a drum is hit. Risen Drums does it differently.  So differently, that it is one of their trade secrets and it is partly what makes these unique drums a Risen Drum.

Aside from the venting process, the company itself is a family.  You, as a consumer, become a part of the family when you purchase a Risen Drum. Becoming a part of this family comes with its perks, such as life time warranty and unlimited networking opportunities. The company holds percussion events such as their recent event, The Drumset and the Kingdom, which involved percussionists playing for a much bigger purpose than just to play.

So at the end of the day, how can you not fall in love with Risen Drums? The branding is there, the quality is there, the uniqueness is there, and most importantly the family is there. I want to give a shout out to Keith Anderson for being a true inspiration in my percussion career. Thanks for creating such an awesome company!
