Natal Drums

The year 1965 saw the founding of the Natal Percussion Company by Alan Sharp; unable to find the instruments he wanted, he set about sourcing his own materials and getting to work. The quality of his work was good great that orders started flooding in – the company was born!

Natal found success thanks to their reliable, unique build and design, often employing unusual materials for the time (fibreglass being a good example!). They enjoyed international success with the likes of Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple and many, many more. All of their drums are British designed and QC’d in Britain to ensure great attention to detail – and to continue Sharp’s legacy!

Our Natal range spans almost the entire drums & percussion category. We have a concise but varied selection of shell packs, made from a number of materials including birch, maple and even acrylic! Natal also offer a wide variety of snare drum options with alluring finishes and distinct tonal characteristics. The range includes snares made of nickel, brass, mappa burl, ash and plenty more. As well as this, we offer a number of other Natal drums, percussion instruments and accessories; for more info, please get in touch – or in the meantime, check out the range below!
