We're honored to announce that Rob Cook has entrusted us to carry on the prestigious heritage of the Chicago Drum Show. Known by many as the drummers’ family reunion, the Chicago Drum Show is the longest running vintage and custom drum show in the world showcasing the best in vintage, custom, and new drum gear! Our mission is to continue Rob's vision by faithfully maintaining the camaraderie and strong sense of community while sharing our love and passion with future generations of drummers.

Sincerely,
The Drugan Bros.
