Current Inventory and Turnaround Time Updates

August 10, 2024

CURRENT as of September 1, 2024

Turnaround times will *generally* fall within our standard 5 to 7 business day timeframe.  Special-order items and add-ons (like bumper stickers and t-shirts) can add to turnaround times depending on inventory availability.  We will not update turnaround times beyond this as they fluctuate day by day and we would rather make drumheads than update webpages or respond to "where is my order?" e-mails.  That said, please plan accordingly.

As for inventory, like many other markets inventory challenges continue to plague the music products industry.  As items that are heavily dependent on the ready supply of raw materials, drums, drumheads and drum-related products are even more susceptible to fluctuations in supply.  And, since we process a relatively large volume of orders every week (100 to 150 or more), our suppliers are often not able to keep up with our high demand.

While our HeadBuilder drumhead designer is able to identify individual head types, colors and sizes as being out-of-stock, we wanted to use this article as more of an aggregate view of our current supplies for both drumheads and port protectors so our customers can better plan for their purchases.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have additional questions, but please understand that we are currently EXTREMELY busy and it may be a few days (or more) before we can respond.  This list will be updated regularly as more information and estimated delivery dates become available.

Here we will break down general drumhead and port protector supplies by manufacturer:

EVANS:

Generally speaking, Evans heads are not in short supply.  The only exceptions tend to be very large heads (26" or larger), very small heads (16") and specialty heads (Calftone or marching).  Even then, because both Evans and DrumART are both based in New York State, we can usually get even special-order inventory within a week or two.

REMO:

We have a very large order in with Remo and will update the expected landed date as we have more information.  Unfortunately, their turnaround times tend to be very long (10 to 12 weeks).  We *hope* to receive this order by early-October and that it will carry us through the busy holiday season.

AQUARIAN:

Like Remo, we have a very large order in with Aquarian and will update the expected landed date in the HeadBuilder soon.  Their turnaround times tend to be a bit more reasonable and, while we are also using an early-October landed date for these heads, we hope receive them sooner.  Again, we will update the expected date once we receive confirmation that the order has shipped.  We also expect that this order will carry us through the holidays.

PORT PROTECTORS:

We expect a massive order of port protectors (more than 250 of EACH of our most popular colors and sizes) to arrive on September 3rd, so we should not have any issues with port protectors for the foreseeable future.
