Taye sounds like "tie" in necktie. The Taye Manufacturing Company was established in 1975 to provide drums and hardware for other musical instrument manufacturers behind the scenes. By 1999, Taye Drums had become a key supplier to the music industry and felt strongly that the time was right to develop their own line of drums. The Taye Drums philosophy is that good drums need not cost a fortune and should be widely accessible. Taye Drums set out to create truly innovative instruments and now Taye Drums can claim over twenty proprietary features. Taye Drums does everything in-house from drum shell making to chroming to crafting those wonderful mirror lacquer finishes and even fabricates their own drumheads. This unprecedented level of control promotes excellence. In a few short years, Taye Drums have been universally acclaimed as finely conceived, well constructed, and superior sounding drums. The astounding thing is that Taye Drums are priced affordably. This is no accident and represents Taye Drums’ commitment to efficiency of design and integrated workflow.

Taye Drums are available in 6 models, 4 styles and an extensive range of configurations and sizes. Key design elements such as tension lugs, tom clamps, mounting brackets and spurs are virtually the same throughout all models.
