Custom drum companies are everywhere these days- each trying to offer their own unique twist when it comes to making drums. Most of them are a dime a dozen but recently I staggered upon a company that specializes in making acrylic kits. Their name is RCI International and you’ll be surprised to know that you may have already seen, heard, or played these drums before without even being aware of it. Now available in the UK, RCI Drums are available as an original RCI drum kit. The possibilities are endless! RCI has unofficially become the one-stop shop for the acrylic connoisseur. Boasting to have the world’s ultimate acrylic drum shell, RCI is used by some of the world’s top drum makers including Drum Workshop; you can't get better than that. Still not convinced? Here are several other clients that are using acrylic shells from RCI: Precision Drum Company, Ludwig, DW, GMS, Truth, Keller Drum Shell, and Orange County Drums

 

 

 


 

Being an all American product made in the USA, these drums have an excellent residual value. There are no prices listed on the web site as every kit is different. These are certainly some of the most unique kits to be found anywhere! They have everything from your basic acrylic to the exotic spiral/swirl patterned kits in either vertical or horizontal.

 


 
But no custom kit would be complete without having the ultimate acrylic snare drum.

 

 


 

The snare drums made by RCI are incredible, crafted to respond well in ANY situation from Jazz to Rock N’ Roll. Their meticulous testing process has resulted in the ultimate sound output from acrylic material by utilizing the best bearing edges, snare beds and head combinations to get the most out of your RCI acrylic snare drum.

 

 

 

All RCI drums are a true innovation in acrylic drum making and the snares are a perfect example of this. The RCI Starlite™ shells are hand formed and built (in the US at the bespoke factory) utilizing “True Continuous Vibration©” technology, ensuring optimum performance for your instrument.

 


 

For a company to offer a product with this type of quality, look, and performance it’s not surprising that many top drummers choose to play RCI. Here is a short list of artists currently playing RCI drums in conjunction with the world’s best percussion manufacturers:

Tommy Lee- Motley Crue

Rikki Rocket- Poison

The Beastie Boys

Dominic Howard-Muse

Joe Morello- Legendary Jazz Drummer/Educator

Call a dealer and try one out - the best hand made acrylic drums in the world - period.Test drive one today you won't go back to wood!!! Find out hoe by visiting the RCI website HERE!

skrci Says The GREATEST drums made

Submitted On: Monday, Feb 2, 2009 - 12:22 PM

I am fortunate enough to own such a great sounding, looking and superbly crafted drums available. I own an 8 piece kit that can be seen at rcidums.com Players - skrejci
If you ever get the chance to play RCI's, you will not ever consider wood again.
The RCI "tribe" are the best people worldwide and are played by some of the best, and some just ordinary drummers who choose perfection.

drumfreak Says Amazing

These kits are amazing! I want an acrylic snare drum. I have some old Fibes snare drums, but they are too beat up.
