Our Story
Inspiration is everything. That’s why we created SpaceDrum.
Born in a basement studio, every SpaceDrum is hand-crafted by our team. We've spent countless hours soldering, wiring, and creating. Now, it's time for our fellow musicians to see for themselves.
“As a life long guitar
player, playing and conversing with the
infinite rhythms inscribed in the consciousness of SpaceDrum is indistinguishable
from magic.”

Proudly built at mHub
in Chicago, IL
The epicenter of all things HardTech in Chicago, mHub was recently named to FastCompany’s ‘Best Workplaces for Innovators” list for 2025.
“Chicago's deep
musical heritage,
from HOUSE to Wax Trax, is pushing me
to create a drum machine the city—and Laszlo Moholy-Nagi—can be proud of.”
