Drumming News :
On September 29, 2026, we reported that Bonham Drumheads was preparing to change its name (HERE). Now, the rebrand is official: Bonham Drumheads is now Kitson Drumheads.
The change marks a new chapter for the independent UK-based drumhead manufacturer, but customers and artists can rest assured that the essentials remain unchanged.
During the transition phase earlier in September 2026, the company temporarily operated under the placeholder name Rebrand Drumheads while preparing for its new identity. With the transition now complete, Kitson Drumheads becomes the company’s official name moving forward.
Same Team, Same Quality, New Name
While the name and branding have changed, the company behind the products remains the same. Kitson Drumheads will continue to operate with the same team, producing the same quality drumheads and accessories that customers have come to expect.
The company is also maintaining its commitment to fair pricing, existing artist endorsements, and ongoing customer support. For drummers who have supported the brand under its previous name, the message is straightforward: the identity is new, but the people, products, and values remain firmly in place.
By Drummers, For Drummers
As an independent, UK-based manufacturer, Kitson Drumheads continues to focus on serving the needs of working musicians and drum enthusiasts alike. Its brand philosophy remains rooted in a simple principle: by drummers, for drummers.
That approach places the needs of players at the heart of the business, with an emphasis on quality products, fair pricing, and a direct connection to the drumming community.
A New Identity for the Road Ahead
The move from Bonham Drumheads to Kitson Drumheads represents a significant branding milestone, providing the company with a fresh identity while preserving the foundations on which it was built.
With the transition complete, drummers can look forward to the same team, the same commitment to quality, and the same customer-focused approach under the Kitson Drumheads name.
