About Dixon Drums
Dixon Drums was founded in Taiwan and has grown into one of the most respected mid-market drum brands in the world. Their philosophy centres on delivering genuine quality at a price that more drummers can afford — a goal they achieve through careful material selection, precise manufacturing and a genuine passion for the craft of drum making.
Their snare drum range is where Dixon truly shines. The Classic Series provides an excellent entry point with well-made steel shell snares that offer a bright, cutting tone suitable for a wide range of musical styles. The Cornerstone Series introduces more exotic materials — acrylic shells for a visually striking, open tone; titanium plated steel for a harder, more aggressive character; and natural wood shells in stunning species like American Red Gum and Quetzal Blue that deliver warm, complex tones with beautiful grain patterns.
The Artisan Series represents Dixon's most ambitious work, featuring premium shell materials and collaborations with respected artists. The Gregg Bissonette signature models — including the 'Big Bud' 14x8" in walnut/maple — reflect the legendary session drummer's exacting standards, while the Chris Brady Australian Rose Gum models bring a distinctly antipodean character to the range, with the unique tonal properties of Australian hardwoods that are rarely found in mainstream drum manufacturing.
