Every Tree Has a Story. This One Became a Drum Kit.Outlaw Drums – Log Recovery Signature SeriesHandcrafted from Reclaimed Cypress • Made in Georgia, USA

This is more than a drum kit—it's a one-of-a-kind instrument handcrafted from reclaimed cypress, with a story that begins long before the first note is ever played.

Deep in the swamps of South Georgia, forgotten logs are recovered, milled, stacked, air-dried, inspected, and stabilized before they ever become an instrument. Every piece of wood is given the time it deserves, preserving its character while allowing its voice to emerge naturally.

Only three Log Recovery Signature Series commissions are accepted each year, ensuring every instrument receives the time, attention, and craftsmanship it deserves.

Inspired by our AJ Newton Modern Drummer Kit of the Month, every shell is handcrafted using Outlaw Drums' signature segmented stave construction and built to your exact specifications.
