More details
Many of the sounds, grooves and players that inspired today's best rock drummers come from a time when this ply configuration was the rule. Although these shells are based on classic 70's drums, the Maple / Poplar / Maple shells are of a class of their own. They have a wide adjustement range, a warm tone, a round attack and a fast decrease.
Shells: "vintage" manufacturing 3-ply Maple / Poplar / Maple according to exclusive ASBA specifications in line with the brand's historical manufacturing method.
Dimensions: See details of the configurations available in the downloadable document below. Other configurations on request.
Bearing edge: rounded with beechwood reinforcement ring 45° bevelled

Hoops: Triple flanged steel hoops (die cast hoops on request)
Finish: Satin varnish, finish Elvin Jaune

Drumheads: High quality

Drumhead Fit Control Technology: All our shells undergo a rigorous control, ensuring the perfect flatness of our bearing edges. This technology guarantees a very high precision contact between the drumhead and the shell. The result is a huge tuning range, from the most "fat" sound to the most vocal settings. Whatever expressiveness you are looking for, the ASBA shells offer you the ultimate in musical quality.

“I really like the look, the finishes; the shells, I think they’re very beautiful... The easiness of tuning in all contexts, either on stage, in the studio, on TV... They are versatile drums, which can really fit into any musical style”
Guillaume Pihet
Professional drummer, speaker at the Music Academy International (M.A.I) and around learning methods
“The new ASBA models were love at first sight for me! Top-of-the-range equipment that rhymes with elegance, finesse and excellence “à la française”. I’m a big fan of the sound, its versatility and its look... as well as its simplicity to tune it. My drums sing in a controlled resonance (bye bye handkerchiefs and moongel)... a delight. "
