Modern Drums
Experience the fusion of technology and craftsmanship in our drums.
Hive Series
The Design
Inspired by nature’s most efficient structure, the honeycomb lattice covers every inch of the Hive shell.
The Build
CNC Machined Shell - 10-Ply Maple, 10-ply Cherry or Acrylic shell
Mass Reduction – Strategic machining lightens the shell and lowers the shell's fundamental resonant frequency
Machined Vents – The Robot logo features machining through the shell, letting the heads breathe freely.
Italian Leather Inlays – The Robot Logo is laser cut from Italian leather, then hand inlaid into the machined shell.
Brass or Composite Hardware – Robot Lug One lugs in machined brass or glass fiber reinforced composite available in multiple finish options. The brass lugs are high-mass and provide damping to reduce shell resonance, giving you a more EQ'd sound signature. The composite lugs are low mass and allow the drum to resonate more fully, maximizing the tonal qualities of the more resonant machined shell. Available with Trick Drums GS007AM Multi-step Throw Off or Robot TO-One composite throw off
Evans heads - Robot uses Evans drum heads exclusively. Evans consistently makes the best drum heads on the planet.
The Sound
Deeper Fundamental – Expect a strong low-mid bloom that makes drums sound bigger than their size.
Quick-Speak Dynamics – Reduced inertia means ghost notes and doubles articulate effortlessly.
Asanoha Series
The Design
Asanoha (麻の葉) is the timeless Japanese Buddhist pattern—six pointed stars that have symbolized strength, growth, and good fortune for centuries. Robot re-imagines this classic geometry in three dimensions, machining the lattice across the entire shell.

Steel or Wood Hoops - These drums are available with wood hoops or 2.3mm triple flanged hoops.
The Sound
Enhanced Low-End Depth — A richly voiced low-mid bloom lets each drum resonate with authority.
Lightning-Fast Response — The lighter, more flexible shell makes ghost notes and double strokes pop with effortless precision.
