- Get Your Free DRUM! Mag Pack ► pro.drummagazine.com/free-dru... Chicago Drum Company began in 2011, when Jim Moritz and a friend wondered if they could put their collective experience from working at the Slingerland factory to good use and make a snare drum.
Check out the video above to hear more about Moritz’s family history with Slingerland, how he makes his drums, what he feels the most important part of a drum is, and how he came to be the owner of a massive 1980’s Slingerland drum set, which he houses in an awesome drum room complete with tons of Slingerland memorabilia.

I had a DW kick drum that I wanted to shorten about 4 inches-sent it to Jim-the mod was done in no time with a beautiful bearing edge-improved the sound immensely-(more punch-not as boomy)-the work was done quickly and the cost was extremely reasonable-I highly recommend Chicago Drum Co!
jim is a total pro, and runs a topnotch business in all respects. very talented craftsman.
All my years playing drums, I've played old (vintage) stuff exclusively, mainly because the stuff was cheap. It's cool to see drummers looking for that unique sound today.
Great interview . I bought my Magnum new in 84, silver silk XM9, amazing sound ,especially the bass drum. The one kit i could never sale.
Very good - I will visit next time I´m in Chicago
Amazing!
great drums sound like slingerand kits did yrs ago when slingerlands only compatition was ludwig killer well made by hand drums at a decent price cant go wrong
So, what’s the future for this and Stone Custom when DW starts back up Slingerland Production? Will they own the hardware designs/patents/etc?
Nice approach to drum making
Anyone know where I could find information/value of the XM52 kit?
