Looking for a custom-quality drum kit without the lead time? The SJC Tour Series maple shell pack boasts the same features, integrity, and status as SJC’s made-to-order drums — except these handcrafted American beauties are available on a touring drummer’s schedule and budget. The SJC Tour is a traveling favorite of hardcore drummers David Sandstrom (Refused) and Cameron Losch (Born of Osiris), thanks to its pure, powerful tone and crisp, cutting projection. SJC 45 (45°) bearing edges maximize volume and sustain, and a modern satin stain gives this kit a look that’ll take center stage on the road.

eveything you need to know is in the first 90 seconds
Here is a secret. 90% of Custom Drum Companies just use Keller shells. Most custom drums sound the same.
Just Keller Shells….
They don’t build their own shells like most of the other high end companies do,, they are sourced
Where’s my SJC family?
Omgg thx !
What is the intro song? Big big train?
My god nick you rocked that little kit so hard
You guys should try to demo Hendrix or Risen drums
I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I went to Gear Fest and it’s exactly what I wanted to see! I absolutely love SJC and Sweetwater and can’t wait to buy my own kit one day. Keep it up!
Thanks Nick & Sweetwater!
First!!
He definitely smokes a bowl before playing the opening and closing tracks! He looks so lit up! But seriously Nick has every style down cold. An incredible drummer.
I still want that aquarium mapex but now youve been throwing all these awesome kits at us. Great work as always Nick amd Sweetwater!
Nice kit
Alotta money for a badge and finish on off the shelf shells….I’ll stick with my masterworks…although nick you rock…do more gonzo videos
don’t care about the kit…just here for nick’s playing again
Nick should be giving lessons on at drumeo.
0:31 That’s what is all about. Thank you, Nick
Man, Nick can make ANY drum sounds GREAT!!
Hey SJC, will you guys begin to use more exotic sounding woods like mahogany, bubinga, ash, and walnut?
