Wooden Cross Hardware, as a business, has been open since February, 2008. The desire and passion behind WCH has been around since that first Tama Swingstar set received in 1987. WCH's goal and primary passion is for every drummer to have that drum or kit that is unique to them and their style. From a single snare, whether it is 8, 10, 15, or 30 ply Maple, Stave, Segmented, Acrylic or even Titanium, you help decide based on the style and sound you want. Anything you want done to the shell from custom bearing edges, super-sized vents, split shell venting, or more is at NO charge to you! What you pay for is the parts to put it together and the growing experience that is getting some drummers that drum (or drums) that they are incredibly happy to play.
