The oversized bass drums from Kolberg Percussion owe their particularly powerful sound to the high-quality workmanship of the select materials used and their oversized shell volume. We combine expert workmanship and decade-long expertise in traditional drum manufacturing with percussionists' practical performing experience. Kolberg bass drums are hand-made in small series, tested meticulously by our specialists and delivered in ready-to-play condition.

Tensioning lugs

• solid high-quality die-cast zinc with high-gloss chrome-plating
• spring-mounted lug nuts make it easy to tune the bass drum and prevent jamming of tensioning screws due to cross-threading

Suspension and stand

The oversized bass drum is mounted on an extremely sturdy, height-adjustable mobile stand. The connection between stand and drum shell is effected by means of special rubber anti-vibration mountings. These are mounted on the shell and connect it to the stand. As the joint between instrument and stand is on rubber mounts and is thus not rigid but can vibrate instead, it enables extraordinary sound results as well as making it possible to tilt the drum securely. At the same time, an instrument with different types of heads can make full use of its sound possibilities since it can be rotated swiftly and simply without stop to any desired position when mounted on the stand.
