This is our complete story on why we exist.
It explains the reason behind our name, logo, and Destroy Motto.
We started playing in the craziest of places no one would dare take drums for the sake of being where no one would be and disappearing into the sounds. Apparel was never the plan, it was what came from feeling lost and drums being the only way out. We wanted something to embody that depth of performing with real emotion, so hard it takes every last breath out of you. Destroy A Drum is an entity that speaks volumes for those with a daring, different, and distinctive personality. We create pieces that represent your individuality & character.
We found a problem in the drum world. Everyone was tired of going to marching competitions or drum events and seeing the same cheesy drum tees or goofy sayings. We wanted something to represent the passion, heart, and soul we devote to each performance with designs that could speak for it. Our products solve that problem for any and every type of performer; from crazy artwork, to clean cut designs, streetwear styles, and everything in-between. We provide the solution every drummer has wanted; apparel that personifies their identity on & off the stage.
Our name 'Destroy A Drum' was inspired by pouring every ounce of energy into intense shows & being told, “You’re too loud!”. Any time we step on the marching field we play like it's our last, and exult every emotion through expressing ourselves. From the stage, to the studio, and in everyday life we push our passion to the fullest. We are the brand made to speak for your charisma & showcase your style.
Destruction is a form of creation in life. Meaning that when you Destroy one objective you create another and the cycle continues till we are our own individual best. The term "Destroy" relates to Destroying your current problems and barriers so you may prosper with continuing to achieve your goals. This is experienced in many ways; whether you are working out to have a healthier lifestyle, striving to live a better life, or playing drums till your entire body is completely Destroyed.
We represent more than just drummers by relating to individuals with a drive and devotion for their true passion. Our motto goes beyond drums and is more than performing. No matter who you are or where you are from, we support everyone dedicated to Destroying for the better. This company was created to show how Destroying can be represented in every walk of life and a positive force for developing as a person.
We see Destruction as beauty, not in the usual negative connotation because to create something new you must Destroy what came before. We Destroyed our past to move forward with creating a brand that pushed us not only in our drum lives but personally. Our purpose is to inspire those that are determined to Destroy in order to improve & blossom.
We each play differently & in our own way. Therefore, we create a wide variety of apparel to represent diverse Destroyers. Our products are made to personify how the sounds we create have personality and emotion in every swing, hit, and beat. From the intensity of heavy pounding fast rock, to the ambient swing of jazz, to the groove of rhythm & blues, and in the steady beats of pop; we represent all types of music and art forms. Our signature logo was made to epitomize the heartbeat of every genre and style of music, the bass drum.
When you wear your Destroy A Drum gear our goal is to make you feel inspired to follow your true passion in life, never settle, and keep on Destroying no matter the odds against you. We wouldn't be where we are today as a brand and as individuals without our entire family of dedicated Destroyers from every corner of the world. Each one plays an important part not just by wearing their Destroy gear but also with wholeheartedly living by our Destroy Motto; to always Destroy for the better, never hold back, and consistently perform like it's the last time because tomorrow is never guaranteed.
When you see or hear the word "Destroy" you are constantly reminded to work harder, manifest your dreams, and be the best person you can be in every aspect of your life. Which means to Destroy all of the negativity that is holding you back from achieving your aspirations, consistently improve your personal goals, & never stop being authentically you.
