Choose custom for a clear reason.
You might have a particular fit, visual idea, or playing preference that you want to discuss. A custom build is also a collaboration: material and construction decisions have practical limits, and the final voice cannot be fully auditioned before the instrument exists.
Justin makes Paz drums from shell work and carving through finishing, heading, and tuning. Ask which choices are feasible for your project rather than assuming every wood, skin, design, or size is available.
Bring a short, useful brief.
- Playing: your experience, usual seated or standing setup, and carrying needs.
- Sound: recordings you like and the characteristics you hear—not a promise to reproduce another drum exactly.
- Appearance: carving ideas, colors, or references, including which details matter most.
- Practicalities: an approximate budget, desired timing, and delivery location. Say which are flexible.
Bring a few things you love.
A carving, a color, a comfortable fit, a sound to explore. Give Justin a starting point and work through the details together.

These are conversation prompts, not published Paz Drums policies. Justin will confirm the actual quote and terms before accepting an order. The inquiry form starts that conversation; it does not take a deposit or reserve a build slot.
| Before committing | Confirm together |
|---|---|
| Design | Dimensions, materials, visual choices, and what still needs deciding. |
| Price | The quote, what it includes, and how changes would be handled. |
| Timing | An agreed estimate and how progress will be communicated. |
| Terms | Any payment stages, cancellation or return arrangements, delivery, and aftercare. |
