OCDP

Orange County Drum & Percussion — the SoCal custom shop behind Travis Barker's kits and the vented snare sound of the 2000s.

Orange County Drum & Percussion started as a Southern California custom shop in the 1990s and became the definitive drum brand of the pop-punk era. The recipe: loud, high-tuned vented snares (that 20-ply maple crack you hear on every early-2000s record), acrylic and wild-finish shells, and kits built to be seen from the back of a festival field.

No drummer is more tied to OCDP than Travis Barker, who played their kits through Blink-182's biggest years — the Rig Vault documents his OCDP arsenal era by era, from the Evel Knievel custom kit to the signature vented snares. The brand has changed hands over the years and original-era OCDP gear is now sought-after on the used market, which is exactly what the buy links below are for.
