Description
The CDS Conversion Drum was developed by Doug Stronach and Hugh Cameron. The drum was played as a Premier and Andante Conversion option by the Toronto Police Grade 1 band during the mid 2000s and won several Grade 1 drum corps prizes including the North American Championships at Maxville.
Depending on the type of hardware, the completed drum can weigh anywhere from 12-14lbs, making it one of the lightest options on the market. In addition to the reduced weight, players have noted that the greatly reduced footprint makes it easier to transport and carry the drum to and from engagements.
***Please note we have a small selection of conversion drums available at the moment (Jan 2026). These are made to order and will sell fast – please contact us for more info. They take around 4 weeks to build and prepare for shipping.
