The story
![Batterie Métal [Instrument de Musique] | ASBA - 1](https://www.asbadrums.com/upload/5fa01aa3ed04f3.jpg)
In the early 70s, Christian Vander, the founder and drummer of the notorious French band Magma, wanted a sound that was louder, sharper and more metallic. So he asked Marc Périn, Alfred Boudard's nephew, who was in charge of the brand’s artist relations, for something different and unusual. With stainless steel sheets purchased in the suburbs of Paris, they designed and created “the metal kit”.
Christian, impatient to test this unique drum kit, literally jumped into the delivery truck and started to play in it!
The one of a kind metal kit was a groundbreaking innovation of this era. Many drummers, both in Jazz and Rock from Europe to the west coast of the USA had the chance to play on this kit.
Today, we are proud to bring this iconic and legendary METAL kit back into the ASBA collection.

on 2021-03-15 | Question: Bonjour Pouvez vous me dire comment sont conçu les chanfreins ? J'ai eu deux Asba inox "d'époque" dont une rare "Ash", et les gouttières en plastique pouvaient manger beaucoup d'harmoniques si elles étaient mal placées... |
Answer: Bonjour, Effectivement, les gouttières en plastique avaient pour habitude de "manger" les harmoniques. Aujourd'hui, nous réalisons un pliage de la tôle. Nous allons par ailleurs bientôt sortir une vidéo de la fabrication de nos fûts en acier sur notre chaîne YouTube . Musicalement, Maison ASBA | |
