Pure Drums are a brand of fiberglass drums that have been manufactured by Ming Drums since 2007.

With lots of experience in drum production and in R&D capabilities, Ming Drum has engaged in the processing of drum accessories since 1990, and in 2000 we started manufacturing and supplying drums set. After continuous research, development and testing, Ming Drum successfully applied the high plasticity, strength, density, and lightweight carbon fiber composite material to the drum production.

After we overcame the weight problem which was a structural factor, we’ve improved and taken out a patent on our drums; the uniqueness of Ming Drum is demonstrated.

In 2007, the Ming Carbon Fiber Composite Drum officially entered the drums market and start providing a wide range of drums for different genders, ages and groups to choose from. Our products include Carbon fiber composite Drum sets, snare drums, marching drums and boutique accessories.

What Is Fiber Glass?
Fiberglass, (also called glass fibre), is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is used as a reinforcing agent for many polymer products; the resulting composite material, properly known as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is called "fiberglass" in popular usage. Uses for regular fiberglass include mats, thermal insulation, electrical insulation, reinforcement of various materials, tent poles, sound absorption, heat- and corrosion-resistant fabrics, high-strength fabrics, arrows, bows and crossbows, translucent roofing panels, automobile bodies, electrical insulation and boat hulls.

Reasons of using carbon fiber for manufacturing drums
General speaking, traditional wooden drums are heavy weight. In order to have a light wooden drum, decreasing thickness in shell and the weight in parts is needed. Therefore, thin wooden layers cannot create a quality sound as well as a good strength in drum shell. Vice versa, to have a good quality sound, the wooden layers need to be packed and heavy.

Using carbon fiber and other composite materials solves the problem for weight and the sound quality. It is not only light weight, but the density is 20 times higher than traditional wooden drum shells. The shell thickness of 1.5~1.8 mm for the carbon drum set has a strong body structure and powerful sound quality. Unlike wooden drums, carbon drum doesn’t cause hydrous in the body layers. Parts and accessories are not easily to be rusty because of the hydrous problems caused by weathers. Winding and woven weave textures made the looks for carbon drum sets streamline and modern.

The customized size of Ming's Carbon Fiber and Carbon Fiber Composite Shells is 6"~26". Thickness of shells is 1.6~1.8mm and we have three style shells: Wound, Slant Woven and Plain Woven.
