Fibes Drum
Company was originally founded in 1966 by Bob Grauso, a
professional drummer, and John Morena, a specialist in composite
materials, and also a drummer. They came up with the name by
combining the core sound of a drum—vibes, short for vibrations, and
fiberglass, the material used in the original drum shells.
Fibes quickly became one of the foremost American manufacturers of professional quality percussion instruments. Eventually, Bob and John decided to sell the company to the C.F. Martin Organisation, makers of Martin Guitars. The company thrived for about 10 years, but because Martin's interest in drum manufacturing was a low priority, the company did not keep up with changes in the market place.

The company thrived for about 10 years, but because Martin's interest in drum manufacturing was a low priority, the company did not keep up with changes in the market place.
With the
onslaught of foreign competition, Martin sold the fixtures,
machinery, inventory, and equipment to Jim Corder who renamed the
business Corder Drums. The Fibes trademark was sold to another
party, who had a business agreement with Martin to distribute Fibes
drumsticks. Corder sold the company in 1990 to Sammy Darwin, a
radio programming consultant, who operated the company under the
name Darwin until early 1994.
Tommy Robertson eventually began negotiations to purchase the factory - after eight months, an agreement was made. In December of 1994 the factory was purchased and moved to Austrin, Texas. The Fibes trademark was also purchased in December, thus reuniting the original name and product.
