Our Manufactory

DRUM DESIGN has been manufacturing drums and percussion instruments by hand in Dornbirn, Austria, since 1998. The product range includes drum sets, snare drums, individually crafted percussion as well as orchestral and marching instruments, complemented by custom drumheads made to order and accessories such as drumsticks, trap tables and adapters. Every drum set is crafted, finished and tuned by master hand in our own workshop. The material used is slow-grown wood that has been seasoned for years; drumsticks are made from hornbeam and hickory. The products are aimed at demanding live, studio and orchestral drummers. Communication is conducted in German and English.
