About Cherry Hill
Handcrafted passion.
Cherry Hill Drums was founded in 2015 by John Haddad, after a 25 year drumming career, John set out to find the perfect drum. A drum that would not only be unique to him, but inimitable beyond the “store bought” model. Using his numerous years of woodworking and metal fabrication experience he decided the only way to achieve this vision was to take the task into his own hands.
“Paying extremely close attention to detail has to be a standard for optimal sound, fitment and aesthetics. I can’t be afraid to try something new, think outside the box or push every limit possible in the conventional drum world” – John Haddad
Since the birth of the company the drum world has taken notice, more and more professional drummers trust their talents to Cherry Hill’s tools.

High end vintage styled hi hat clutch
The MAGNUM is a high quality handcrafted hi hat clutch. Machined from solid material, all brass or any wood combo you can think of with. High impact (Dupont) Delrin™ machined threaded shank to protect your cymbals from wear and to decrease weight. Jumbo knurled brass thumb screws for easy assembly/disassembly. Solid machined brass hexagon lock nut. Brass lock handle with mother of pearl inlay.
Black Walnut Beaters
Multi-Dynamic bass drum beaters
The Black Walnut Beaters utilize the multi-dynamic properties of combining natural lightweight wood with either a FELT or LEATHER impact strip. Each strip when struck softly will created a different sensitivity of volume and attack to your sound. The harder you strike the bass drum head the more the impact strip will depress to give you a combination of the wood and impact strip. Super lightweight at only 2.2 oz. Due to the tough Titanium mounting shank and lightweight yet strong wood.
Big fat punch or soft and subtle all from one lightweight beater.
