DR15 Studio Sidecar
Roll it in when the idea starts. The DR15 Studio Sidecar keeps a drum machine or MIDI controller within easy reach when you are creating and moves out of the way when you need the space.
Built for the moment the pattern arrives
A drum machine does not need to stay on a desk all the time. The DR15 places your drum machine or MIDI controller on a slide-out shelf at playing height, while its casters let you move the entire unit wherever you are working.
Pull it toward you when it is time to work on a pattern, then push it back against the wall when you are finished.
Slide-out shelf at playing height
The DR15 features a slide-out shelf designed to hold a drum machine or MIDI controller at playing height. This keeps your equipment accessible while you are creating without requiring it to permanently occupy your main desk or workstation.
Roll it where you work
Built on casters, the Studio Sidecar can be moved to wherever the session is happening. The locking casters allow the unit to be secured in place when you are ready to work.
Solid hardwood construction
The DR15 is built from solid hardwood using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. The construction is engineered to accommodate seasonal wood movement, helping the piece remain suited to the natural characteristics of solid wood.
Durable hand-finished details
The Studio Sidecar receives a heavy-duty oil and hardwax finish. Shop-made pulls complete the functional design while keeping the piece firmly rooted in its handcrafted construction.
Wood options
Standard pricing is offered in sun-tanned poplar. The DR15 is also available in oak, walnut, reclaimed wood, and apocalyptic black with walnut.
Custom-made to order
Most of the work is custom-made to order, with additional options available. If you are looking for a particular configuration or finish, get in touch to discuss the available possibilities.
Payment option
A 60/40 payment plan is available. Contact us for details.

Full service white glove adds inside room delivery, base assembly, and removal of the crate and all packaging from your premises.Solid wood moves. Every piece is built from solid hardwood, not veneer or engineered panel, and solid wood responds to the room it lives in. It expands slightly in humid months and contracts in dry ones. Our joinery is designed to allow that movement rather than fight it — breadboard ends, floating panels and bolt-on bases all exist for this reason. A hairline seasonal gap that opens and closes is the material behaving correctly.
Day to day. Wipe with a soft dry or barely damp cloth. Blot spills as they happen rather than letting them stand. Skip anything with ammonia, bleach, silicone or wax polish — silicone in particular builds a film that makes refinishing difficult later. Use trivets under hot dishes and something absorbent under anything wet or sweating.
The finish. Hardwax oil, not polyurethane. It sits in the wood rather than on top of it, so the surface still feels like wood and repairs invisibly — a scratch can be spot-treated without stripping the whole top. Refresh high-use areas with a light coat of hardwax oil when the surface starts to look thirsty, roughly every year or two on a dining table, less on a desk. We'll tell you exactly what we used on your piece.
Reclaimed and salvaged wood. Nail holes, checks, insect tracks, old bolt scars and color variation are the record of where the wood has already been. We stabilize anything structural and leave the rest. No two pieces are alike, and photographs of one build won't predict the exact character of yours.
Sun-tanned poplar is poplar left in the California sun until it turns honey and chocolate — a color change in the wood itself, not a stain. It will continue to deepen slightly for the first months in your home, then settle.
Steel bases. Blackened steel is a chemical patina, hand-finished and sealed. Raw sealed steel keeps the mill surface under a clear coat. Both wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasives, which will cut through the seal.
Built to be repaired. Mortise and tenon joinery, bolt-on bases and an oil finish all mean this furniture can be taken apart, refinished and put back into service decades from now. That's the point. If something ever needs attention, contact us — we'd rather fix it than see it replaced.
