    Phoenix Drum Company

    Nov, 2016

    The Phoenix Drum Company was founded in 2011 by Philip Gelb, a drummer who wanted an instrument designed for better sound combined with outstanding aesthetic design. Philip also wanted to have the option to add upgrades to the instrument above the basic model, just as one would do for a luxury vehicle. Philip created the company to offer drummers greater artistic expression and product personalization because Philip believes that “A drum set is the body where the soul of the drummer resides and it deserves a luxury estate, not a fixer upper.
