2026 Coupon Code — Up to 20% OFF for Cooperman Frame Drum S

In the 1950s, the basement of founder Patrick H. Cooperman in Mount Vernon, New York, served as the first Cooperman Frame Drum S workshop. A group of three men worked part-time to produce drum sticks and fifes. By 1975, the business had grown to include a complete line of rope tension drums, and a new workshop in Centerbrook, Connecticut, employed a full-time staff of instrument makers. Centerbrook served as the headquarters for the expanding range of Cooperman instruments and products for more than three decades. Cooperman Frame Drum S began revitalizing the Maplecraft Manufacturing Company's old sawmill and wood bending operation in Bellows Falls, Vermont, in 1987. There, Cooperman craftsmen learned how to select trees in the local forests for their distinctive tone qualities and bending characteristics, as well as how to saw logs and steam bend lumber. In 2006, Cooperman consolidated all of its operations at their Vermont mill.
