There is a place for custom drums. Whenever you want something really special that the "big ones" do not offer. Most of the time, the drums of the big companies are enough for just about anyone. I mean, what can be really improved on a Starclassic/Star, a Maple Custom, a Saturn, a ProLite/Vintage, Broadcaster, etc.? Those are all top-notch drums that work in a wide variety of musical settings.
I'd stick to the well known brands for three reasons: Resale-value, replacement parts and because I don't know what I'd want to have from a custom drummaker. A copy of my Starclassics? Better buy the original, right?
