Wales’ first bespoke drum kits are set to appear on some of the biggest music stages in the world, including Lollapalooza Paris and Shepherd’s Bush Empire, after the company which makes them signed a contract to provide customised kits for a British rock group.
Tarian Drums will provide the high-end drums made from locally-sourced Welsh wood and materials for British rock band, The Struts, who have opened gigs for the Foo Fighters, The Rolling Stones and Guns N Roses.
The Pontyclun-based bespoke drum manufacturer is the first in Wales. It was formed by friends Rhys Thomas and Geraint Frowen in 2020 during the start of the pandemic, who have since been supplying their drum kits to professional drummers across the globe.
