The company closed in 1977.Drum, guitar, and ukulele lessons are available. During the 60вЂ™s Kent developed hardware ideas with their вЂAdjust-o-maticвЂ™ cymbal arm and tom mount, utilising ball joint and hex rods similar to Rogers.ДЄround 1967 Kent replaced their bass drum hoops with triple flange versions (seen on our kit) with flat plates top and bottom for pedal and accessories attachment.Дuring the very late 60вЂ™s Kent began to use Japanese import shells (Made In Japan or вЂMIJвЂ™) whilst fitting American lugs and parts to the drums.ДЄs the fortunes of the company were so apparent (one only had to look at the quality of the manufacturing to see how they were doing), it was probably obvious that they were not in it for the long haul. Whilst some financial corners were cut, the quality of metal used for the lugs and mounts was generally excellent, making good, heavy-duty castings. Snares and rack toms often had single central-lug designs (when floor toms and bass drums didnвЂ™t) or used single tension rod and eyelets designs with single flange hoops and claws. Whilst other companies at the time used brass badges, Kent used coloured foil ones to keep costs down. Kent often cut cost corners with hardware and badges too. Some were beautifully finished inside with excellent bearing edges while other drum shells were crudely assembled, with dark brown glue smeared on the inside and virtually no bearing edges.ItвЂ™s said that no two Kent drums are alike and often lugs and strainers were fitted wonkily to the shell. It is well know that KentвЂ™s maple shell drums varied in construction quality. Bass drums were of six- ply maple construction so they could support the (minimal) weight of the toms. Production dates were often stamped inside the drum shells. Kent Manufacturing Company offered quality drums at an affordable price and although for many they may not have measured up to the likes of Slingerland, Ludwig, Rogers and Gretsch, in terms of construction quality, Kent made some great looking and great sounding drums.Дuring the 1950вЂ™s and 60вЂ™s, Kent snare drums and tom toms were constructed of two-plys of maple, providing a very thin and resonant shell, similar to the 3-ply shell construction of Gretsch drums of the same period. Before starting the Kent Drum Company, Bill Kent was employed by the Gretsch Drum Company for a time in the 1940вЂ™s. Kent Manufacturing Company produced snare drums, drum sets and accessories. The Kent Drum Company was started in 1947 by brothers, Ed and Bill Kent. But like many lesser known manufacturers, there is little documented history on Kent. Whilst talking about lesser known American drum manufacturers, it would be remiss of me not to talk about Kent Drums.
