Joe Cox Drums

Thoroughly and truly loved ticking off two shows working at this bucket list venue. I can now retire!

Where all your favourite drums start a new life.

This is a lovely example of the 1968-1972 Ludwig Standard No. S-102 14x5” Aluminium snare. Now available for a new home!

Seems pretty fitting to share the first drum I cleaned up in my new workshop this week, given that the drum, date stamped Apr 2 1969, celebrates its 57th birthday today! Your new favourite drum is just a click away. Scoop out more details and purchase via my site.

Available for a new home…. 1963-1970 Slingerland ‘Gene Krupa Sound King’ Chrome over Brass 14x5.5”. Fresh off the bench, with original COB ‘Rim-Shot’ hoops, ‘Zoomatic’ snare strainer and internal tone control.

May 1965 Ludwig ‘Club Date’ 20x14”, 12x8”, 14x14” in original Green & Gold Duco. Freshly listed on my site and ready to start a new life! 3-ply shells, nickel over brass hardware, bowtie lugs and white felt internal baseball bat dampener. More details online.

Thanks to Tom Coll from Fontaines D.C. for sending this stunning 1950s Gretsch ‘Renown’ 14x5.5” Two-Tone snare in for a good old service last week. She’s a peach.
