Natal Drums (in past known as Natal Percussion Company) is an English drum and hardware manufacturing company based in Bletchley, England, United Kingdom.

In 2010 was purchased by Marshall Amplification.[1]

Natal had great success in the late 1960s thanks to its revolutionary fiberglass congas that was used by bands like Santana, T. Rex, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple and The Rolling Stones.[2]

The name is a portmanteau of the first names of the company founder and his wife, NATalie and ALan.
