About KELLER Shells

As a leading drum shell manufacturer for nearly 70 years, Keller knows what it takes to build long-lasting, high-quality shells. In fact, many of the quality drums and kits were created by Keller in the 60's and 70's which helped define a new era in music. All of VSS drum shells are made from 100% choice hard woods that have undergone rigorous selection and screening processes. In addition, they are created using Keller's state-of-the-art stagger seam lamination process.

VSS™ (Vibrating Sound Source), a patented Keller Products innovation, uses space-age technology to condition each shell. VSS™ technology results in regenerated vibrations that elevate head response and increase drum performance thus delivering a wider tonal range, more resonant frequencies and increased volume for longer, louder and warmer sounds

In general, a thinner wall thickness (6ply) gives the drum more of a fluf/poofy sound while a thicker (10-Ply) has a larger amplitude and sound waves which are closer together.

FAQ

The drum shells are sanded and ready for finishing or drum wrap. There are no bearing edges or snare beds applied. SALT can precisely cut bearing edges on all size shells. We offer vintage style edges, 45-degree edge, either center, offset, or custom cuts by request. Each variety of edge can alter the final dum sound slightly. The Bearing edge is the most important part of the drum shell with regards to tone and overall performance. If you are a first time builder we encourage you to utilize our services to achieve the maxium acoustical quality out of each shell. The cost on this service is $15.00 an end for wood snare and toms, $20.00 an end for wood bass drums. We can hand cut and finish snare beds for all size snare drums, cost on wood $20, cost on acrylic $30.00.
Reinforcement rings can also be applied on the inside of snars and toms for $40.00 top and bottom and for bass drums $50.00 for top and bottom. 1 1/4" deep rings are used on toms, snares, and bass drums.
