Launched in October 2020 by three friends—Grady Kenevan, Tim King, and Will Franklin Chapman—the Franklin Drum Company was founded in hopes of building and fostering a community of drummers that support one another, centered around Franklin’s custom-made drum kits and snare drums hand-crafted in Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Similarly, we gave Chicago Drum Exchange its standalone storefront to create a go-to destination, both for touring drummers passing through and for the local drum community, alike. And, now, Franklin Drum owners in Chicago—as well as drummers who want to find out what Franklin Drums are all about—can head to CDE to join the Franklin Drum community!
