For over a century Gretsch Drums has been among the most respected drum makers in the industry, gaining notoriety early in the company's history for its use of maple and birch. Gretsch has stood the test of time by continually reinventing its drums with modern features and finishes.
No drum builder in the world offers a wider selection of drums than Mapex. Mapex uses tonewoods like birch, maple, and walnut to give each drumkit a signature tone, and low-mass lugs that require fewer holes be drilled into the shell--giving each drum greater resonance and control.
Hand-hammering its cymbals in the ancient Turkish tradition has not kept Sabian Cymbals from being the fastest growing cymbal manufacturer in the world. Sabian crafts its cymbals from only the purest and most durable bronze alloys, and offers a cymbal for every musical style.
Certainly among the most successful and enduring musical instrument manufacturers in history has to be Zildjian Cymbals. Since 1623 the Zildjian family has crafted lush and brilliant cymbals. Where there is percussion in music, you will almost certainly find Zildjian cymbals.
