Welcome to the new Noble & Cooley.
World-class percussion.
We’re over 160 years in the making, and always refining our recipe. We’ve gone no farther than our own backyard to bring you the world’s best drums. Carefully crafted and meticulously constructed, our premium wood is harvested right here in New England and transformed into your perfect drum. If it sounds like home, it’s because that’s where it came from.
Founded in 1854 by Silas Noble and James Cooley, Noble & Cooley has been sustainably producing hand-crafted drums for over 160 years. Our wood is and always has been grown in our own back yard, and harvested right here in New England. As a company with great antiquity, we have evolved and perfected our products over time while preserving the importance of family tradition. Continuously owned and operated by direct descendants of James Cooley, the Noble & Cooley Company of today is still operated in its original location in Granville, Massachusetts.
Our approach to manufacturing drums is not exactly a recipe for mass production.
We are OK with that.

One of the more peculiar developments in my life that was a direct result of the social distancing mandates of COVID-19 was a really strong desire to go to a rehearsal space, anywhere, anytime to rehearse. This is admit.tedly a really small thing compared to all of the major changes that have taken place since it all started, but it kind of changed my understanding of the role rehearsal spaces have played in my life and I think others may feel the same way, so I thought I would share my thoughts.
