Georgia--Michael Outlaw, a custom
furniture builder and avid drummer, was riding through Albany, Georgia one day
and stumbled upon an 1880’s plantation home being torn down, and asked the
contractor if he could have some of the wood. The contractor said yes, since it
was going to be hauled off to a landfill anyway. Michael loaded his truck up
with as much wood as he could before the dump truck got back to take it away.
When he got it back to his shop, the beauty and the aroma of the rare wood
inspired him. He wanted to build a snare drum that was different, and this
heart pinewood was the perfect fit.
Ever since that day, he has
continued to search for more opportunities to reclaim this old wood from barns,
houses and mills built before 1900 to make his unique Outlaw Drums. With these
drums, you are getting a piece of history, not just an instrument. Outlaw Drums,
with their stave construction, precise 45 degree bearing edge, and 300-500 year
old wood, offer the most unique tones, pitches and sounds you will ever hear.
