Steve Badalament of Innovation Drums brings intensity and committment to his work by using only the finest components, which he uses himself. He takes the more difficult path to make shis drums, but he makes no apologies for this. To quote Voltaire, Steve always says, "I hae the simplest of tastes - I only like the best."

A Little Background
The Innovation Drum Company is a small operation guided by two unshakeable principles that consist of the total committment to their clients and the standards Steve's set for himself. Steve will sit down with a client and talk in-depth about the sounds and materials that the player likes and wants. Innovation will make virtually any size drum in any finish because they believe that the end product should be exactly what the drummer wanted, but to also let his or her natural talent flow unhindered. Also, as a highly-experienced drummer, Steve has become somewhat an authority on vintage drums. Owning a huge collection of these drums has provided Steve the knowledge and insight that is respected by both drummers and collectors alike.
