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.”

Where We’re From
The philosophical architecture of SpaceDrum draws from two defining traditions in electronic instrument design, the focused simplicity of East Coast instruments and the spirit of exploration and happy discovery, found in their West Coast counterparts. All of this functionality is housed within a design that reflects our Midwestern roots and aesthetic.
