Fidock Handcrafted Drums
We here at DCP are proud to be one of only FOUR dealers in the United States stocking beautifully hand-crafted instruments from Stephan Fidock of Fidock Handcrafted Drums in Australia.
Fidock makes exclusive use of solid stave shells for all of its snare drums and drum set products products, lathed thin and genuinely handcrafted. The lathing process means less glue, no harsh reflective coatings, tonal timber, thin shells, outstanding bearing edges, and more tone and depth than traditional ply-shell drums. The results speak for themselves: Warm, musical, earthy and powerful drums, with all aspects of the construction and finishing processes directed towards elite recording instruments.
Below you will find information on Fidock snare drums and drum sets, including drums that are currently in stock! Give us a call at 603-319-8109 with any questions!

Fidock Handcrafted Drum Sets
Every aspect of a Fidock Handcrafted Drums drum kit is directed towards delivering an outstanding instrument for professional use. Fidock exclusively uses Australian Blackwood for its drum sets, a sustainable timber well-known to serious instrument makers for its superior tonal and tensile qualities. Fidock makes drum kits available by special order to meet any requirements. That said, Fidock urrently offers two preconfigured drum sets, the “Bebop” and the “Session.”
The Bebop | Listen
Using only native Australian Blackwood for its incredible tone and resonance, each stave drum is hand carved including sculpted reinforcement rings. Steam bent solid wooden hoops (also Blackwood) add to the depth and warmth of these incredibly thin shells. Versatility is the key! Play it soft, play it loud, the “Fidock Bebop” is a well balanced instrument with a clear rich tone and beautiful sustain. With all the top and bottom end you could dream of, these drums come together with a soulful coherent voice. And the timber… what else is there? BLACKWOOD!

Sizes: 14×18 bass drum, 8×12 rack tom, 14×14 floor tom
The Session | Listen
Built specifically for the studio, the Fidock Session 5-piece drum kit is entirely handcrafted from select tonal blackwood. Each drum, including the bass drum, has reinforcement rings sculpted into the shell. This feature not only adds focus, warmth and depth across the entire drum set, but eliminates the need for external dampening. This also allows lathing of the shells to the optimum thickness for maximum volume and tone. As a result, shell thickness is varied across the kit for a perfectly balanced ensemble. Fidock provides unique steam bent hoops sitting low on the skin that allow for smoother access to the playing surface and a more efficient playing motion (kits are also available with flange or diecast steel hoops).

From choice of timber to construction and parts, FHD session kits offer a superlative recording instrument suitable for all styles of music. Sizes: 18×24 bass drum, 10×12 rack tom, 10×14 rack tom, 14×16 floor tom.
