Orange County Drum & Percussion (OCDP) is an American drum manufacturer founded in 1991 in Anaheim, California. Co-founded by Daniel Jensen, the company grew out of Orange County's underground custom shop culture with a stated aim to break the conventional rules of what a drum kit could look and sound like. Drummer Adrian Young of No Doubt became a founding artist and part-owner, and the brand quickly built a reputation for bold custom craftsmanship—most visibly through signature elements like acrylic shells, exotic finishes, and distinctive shark tooth lugs.
OCDP became closely associated with the Southern California punk and alternative rock scenes of the 1990s and early 2000s. The brand's drums were used by drummers including Chad Sexton of 311, Travis Barker of Blink-182, and players affiliated with bands such as Slipknot, Deftones, Foo Fighters, Limp Bizkit, Rancid, NOFX, The Offspring, New Found Glory, and The Used. Guitar Center acquired the brand in 2009 and shifted the product focus from fully bespoke builds toward production shell packs and snare drums that carried forward OCDP's heritage aesthetic.
The catalog centers on drum kits and snare drums, with acrylic construction remaining a recurring signature material. Shell packs and specialty snares form the core of the current line, with designs drawing on archival finishes and hardware details that defined the brand's original identity.
Orange County Drum & Percussion has 13 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Drum Sets and Snare Drums. Their gear is featured by 13 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Travis Barker, Ilan Rubin, and Joey Jordison.
