It's Official!

We've finally recieved our U.S patent after years of research and development. U.S Patent: 10,235,978.

Innovation

We are revolutionary product developers in the percussion field. One head provides performance-quality sound, while the other gives a reduced-sound practice pad with realistic drum aesthetic and feel.

Time Arbitrage

Drum sets have standard drum tension rods and the practice pads usually have common hardware. There are a few products that are in-between but they are practice devices that you can't play on professionally. You couldn't imagine using a practice device for a live performance, until now.

Drum Key

We have a unique way of tensioning the drum head. Compatibility availabile with industry standard drum tuning key. Instead of spinning a bolt that can get warped, and when warped the object bends; we have a better approach. Think of lug nuts on a post, on a wheel of a car. We spin lug nuts on a post that allows the body the freedom to bend. We use threaded posts while the entire industry uses tensioning rods. We offer a drum key compatible lug nut.

Portability

Transporting drums usually involves an SUV or van, and takes up a bunch of space. An example is our 7 piece drum set. 5 toms, a bass and a snare drum. Our drums can be stacked and carried in a 18 x 18 x 20in box.

Our story

Michael Bean began playing drums at the young age of 7, finding himself restricted by the primary problem of percussionists: noise complaints. The drums were too noisy and taking up too much space. He knew the problem needed a solution. Which is why as a young adult Michael’s been brainstorming about a revolutionary product, which would bypass the problem of both noise and space. In 2009 he introduced this product idea to his daughter, Abigail Eileen, a bright middle school student. She was enthusiastic and supportive of the problem, and continues to inspire its development today. With her help, Micheal’s idea became a reality, called AE Drums in honor of Abigail Eileen. Since 2009 the primary product has been in development. It is a snare drum that can be used for both practice and performance.
