About Cariad Drums

In 2015, Leigh had the idea of building custom drums in Bridgend, South Wales. However, when he compared the cost of manufacturing to the competitive prices of companies like Pearl Drums, he realized that refurbishment and high-quality resprays would be a more viable approach.

The concept of Cariad Custom Drums was born.

But simply refurbishing drums wasn't enough to make the company sustainable, especially at a time when music shops were closing. So, he decided to expand into education by offering drum lessons and opening a physical drum store. Not long after, the online store followed.

This was a huge undertaking for one person, but in his madness, he decided to do it. Little by little, Cariad developed and improved year in and year out, becoming the brand you see today - a brand we're very proud of. Our aim is to keep improving and to continue serving the loyal customers we've gained over the years.
