Sleishman products come from a will to do things a better way. Hence our numerous inventions and resulting patents.

When you do things differently, there is always questions... here are some of our most frequent. If you have any other questions, feel free to email us

DRUMS

Q1. Can I tune my bottom head tighter than the top and vice versa?

A1. Nope. Tension is distributed evenly across the drum as a result of our Suspension System. The ring at the bottom of each system acts as an equalizer. The ring responds to tension placed on any bolt by perfectly balancing that tension across the drum. This makes Sleishman drums simple to tune and also creates a wide tuning range.

Thinner heads on the bottom of our drums are slightly higher in pitch than the thicker 'batter' heads always.

Q2. Can I buy just the systems themselves and source my own shells?

A2. Unfortunately not. We see the 'system' being the entire drum, not just the metal work. Shells and their bearing edges are incredibly important to creating our sound, so our standards have to be ensured.

Q3. Our revolutionary patented suspension system truly brings drum shells to life and it completely separates our drums from any other available today.

A3. Our revolutionary patented suspension system truly brings drum shells to life and it completely separates our drums from any other available today. For over 25 years, we have continued to refine our unique suspension system- A system that eliminates all bolted lug fittings from the shell. This allows the drum to work to its full potential giving you maximum sustain, fullness of tone and unrivalled response at any volume.
