The story
An unspoilt heritage in tribute to the historic sound of the ASBA kits that have contributed to their reputation all over the world. Rive Gauche is all the depth and generosity of maple combined with poplar, assembled in 3 plies, underlined by beech bevelled reinforcements rings. It is also the devastating look of a hand-stained "luthier" finish, completed by a vintage satin varnish. Like all ASBA models, the bearing edges are especially designed to widen the range of expression of the shell and allow all adjustments, from the lowest to the highest pitch...
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.

Testimonials
Fabien Tournier
Pro drummer
"I recommend the ASBA brand to everyone because the drums are super versatile, they sound as good for Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop, pop ... Moreover they are very easy to adjust !"
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."
Jerome Goudour
Drum teacher at the Conservatory
"I really appreciate the sound of course... and also the lightness; the easiness of tuning and the versatility (for me who goes from jazz to rock it's perfect). It's an instrument that "sounds" ... you can throw out the moongels and let it express itself."
