Ayotte 1999 Custom Shell Kit Acoustic Drum - Natural Blonde Gloss
Ayotte Drums were founded in the early 1980s in Vancouver, Canada, by Ray Ayotte. The company quickly gained recognition in the drumming world for its innovative ideas and high-quality handcrafted instruments.
Ayotte became especially known for introducing wooden hoops (wood hoops) on their drum kits and for developing a practical quick-release tuning system that made changing drumheads faster and easier. Their drums were built with North American maple shells, known for producing a warm, full, and highly dynamic tone.
During the 1990s, Ayotte drums earned a strong reputation among professional drummers for their distinctive sound, craftsmanship, and unique design. Today, vintage Ayotte kits from that era are still considered high-end, sought-after instruments by collectors and players alike.
