Sound Percussion Labs (SPL) is a budget-focused drum and percussion brand that debuted in November 2014 as the rebranded evolution of the earlier Sound Percussion line. Headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, the company is exclusively distributed through Guitar Center and Musician's Friend, positioning its gear toward beginners, students, and value-conscious players with the tagline "Priced to be your first, built to be your last."

The catalog centers on complete, ready-to-play setups and entry-level hardware. The Kicker series offers all-in-one kits that ship with shells, cymbals, hardware, throne, and sticks, while the Unity series provides multi-ply poplar shell kits aimed at students and intermediate players. The Velocity series steps up to birch and basswood compact configurations, including the Street Bop kit. SPL also produces snare drums, marching instruments, concert percussion, and a Baja Percussion line of hand percussion such as bongos, congas, and djembes.

Beyond drum kits, the brand carries a broad assortment of stands, pedals, cymbal arms, clamps, practice pads, drum keys, and replacement parts intended to let starter setups expand over time. SPL's role in the market is largely as the in-house value brand stocked alongside premium manufacturers at Guitar Center retail locations.

Sound Percussion Labs has 8 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Drum Sets, Drum Hardware Parts, and Drumsticks, Mallets & Brushes. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Metal. Notable users include Jared Dines, Brecken Roach, and AJ Tartol.
