Guided tour through our drum factory

The Basel drum has developed enormously over the last few years, both mechanically and in terms of sound. And it is important to us that you acquire the necessary knowledge to handle your instrument. This has prompted us to offer exciting guided tours of our factory, during which we show our customers how the Basler Trommel is constructed and handled.

An ideal event for the next Herbstbummel, as a club outing or simply as a break in rehearsals.
