About Us

From the creator of MONO, Tandem is a new design studio focused on elevating the drummer's workstation. Established in 2023.

Why

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: To elevate the drummer's workstation. Rooted in California, we create purpose-built tools that fuse modern engineering with time-tested tradition.

Who

Our Background

Tandem is founded by industrial designer and drummer Daniel Kushner. DK was previously the founder of MONO, and the designer behind its award-winning product line. With Tandem, DK continues designing innovative products for musicians that stand the test of time—including Drops®, winner of the 2026 Red Dot Award: Product Design.

How

Our Impact

Designing thoughtful products means considering not just their functionality, but their impact, too. In addition to using up-cycled materials and minimal packaging, we're committed to planting 100 trees—and removing 4 tons of CO2—each year. We do this through a partnership with Ecologi. You can track our progress here.
