Briechle Custom DrumsSave Shop

I'm a small one person company.....That's right, just me. Everything I do is made to order 100% from scratch right here in house. I press my drum shells incorporating many very old and very new techniques. I only build 3 kits and about a dozen snares a year.
Because of the extremely small production size I am able to use some of the most phenomenal woods in existence. I source only enough materials to make one kit or one snare at a time. I enjoy using urban forested materials & reclaimed lumber and I am always excited to re purpose heirloom furniture. Thats right your favorite piece of furniture can be steam bent into your new favorite drum!
I approach each new project by starting with the sound you want. Whether it be an era of classic drum manufacturing or your favorite recording, we can figure out the best way to get there. I can make a drum out of any material you can dream up and I get especially excited when working with clients that like to think outside the box.
I have extensive expertise in the creation of hot formed steam bent single ply shells, directionally laminated voiced shells, tension balanced single ply shells and hybrid ply shells. I can use carbon fiber laminates, Kevlar laminates, Nomex cores, glass impregnation, metal impregnation and any wood species in existence to create your sound.
I can embellish your next dream drum with exotic veneer, fabric, canvass or paper lamination as well as inlay mother of pearl, stone, glass and metal. I can hand carve lugs, hoops and grommets and even laser cut custom badges with your original artwork. If you are interested in an even more unique look, photo transfer and emulsion processes are available.
I guarantee my craftsmanship for life. Period. No disclaimers no fine print until the day I die. If you ever have an issue send it back and I'll repair or replace it for free.
In order to keep cost down I do not give out endorsements but if you are a working musician or educator and you qualify and participate in any governmental assistance program WIC, EBT etc I will sell any of my prototype drums to you at dead cost plus half off labor.
