Built to blast: the story behind Taran

Like so many great things, Taran Custom Drums came to existence rather by coincidence, after a jesting conversation between friends. For founder and master builder Frank Cox however, making perfect drums was never a joke. Right from day one back in 2018, he poured all his passion, craftsmanship and eye for detail into the development and creation of perfect stave drums with a sound that can vary from warm and robust to crisp and funky, and with authentic and beautifully crafted looks to die for.
Now, 3 years later, Taran has managed to build a reputation of crafting supreme looking and sounding instruments. Some of the top-class Belgian musicians have been raving about these drums, going as far as to compare them to the vintage drums made by Noble & Cooley in the old days. With such great comments, Taran feels ready to look beyond the borders of pretty little Belgium and show the world the true meaning of its motto: โ€œBuilt to Blastโ€. Because you better believe it: these drums are bound to blow you away.
