ARE YOU CURRENTLY SEEKING ENDORSERS?
The interest in hugely appreciated, but not at this time.

DO YOU MANUFACTURE YOUR OWN SHELLS?
Yes. Beier Drums is an entirely self-contained Manufacturer, not a drum
Builder. Your drum starts with raw Steel, to what you see & hear. I use very
traditional methods of production, and everything is done manually by hand.

DO YOU TAKE SPECIAL ORDERS FOR DRUMS IN DIFFERENT
METALS?
I will be offering one drum, in one size, in a particular metal at a time. The
process for making each drum is very time consuming. I chose to streamline
the process-So drums are available, and to keep the cost of each drum down. It
matters a great deal to me that the drums stay as affordable as possible for
players. The new drum-The 1.5mm Steel, will be in the line-up permanently. I
will be making others in the near future-Definitely some Special Edition
Snares. My focus right now is to manufacture an affordable, versatile
drum-One version, one at a time. A drum that a beginner will want to always
have, and a drum that a touring pro values highly in their line-up.

WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC IS THE 1.5 STEEL BEST SUITED FOR?
In short-All styles. I wanted to make a drum that appealed to everyone, and
crossed into as many different styles & situations as possible. The thicker
shells give the drum extreme volume for live situations when needed in
Rock/Metal. The shells also provide a player with the opportunity for highly
accented Rimshots & Backbeats for Country, Hip-Hop, Latin, etc.., Brushes
sound phenomenal as well on a thick metal shell. A thicker shelled drum does
not have to be played at a higher volume though to get what you are looking
for from it..

WILL YOU HAVE A DEALER IN MY AREA IN THE FUTURE?
Beier Drums was set up to be a Direct Dealer & Manufacturer. This is the
only way to offer you the pricing I do.

CAN I VISIT BEIER DRUMS WHEN I AM IN THE AREA?
I would really, really enjoy that-But I am not set up for visits. If you are ever
on the road & playing in the Milwaukee area, Wisconsin, or even the Chicago
area...I would be happy to come out to meet you. You would be welcome to
demo a drum live for the night as well. I am also on the road frequently, and
stopping at your show would be great. Let me know-If I can be there-I will be.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS-WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO
CONTACT YOU?
Anytime. Please see the Contact Jim page for email and phone information. All
inquiries, questions, & comments I respond to immediately. All comments, of
any kind, are welcome. The process of developing a great drum starts & ends
with a dialogue-With players of every type.
