For more than eight decades, Keller Products has been the trusted American manufacturer of precision crafted plywood cylinders and cylinder based components. For over 70 of those years, Keller has earned a global reputation as the go to supplier of premium OEM percussion shells— a position we proudly hold today.
With a passion for continuous improvement, modern production techniques, and world class quality, Keller produces what many refer to as “the Keller sound”—a level of tone, responsiveness, and character unmatched in the industry. Our “Keller Inside” philosophy reflects our belief that the drum shell is the heart of the instrument—and we build it accordingly.
Keller is a key component supplier to many percussion manufacturers, but we do not offer completed drums. Many press reviews, customer testimonials, and artist endorsements speak to the performance of both our raw shells and the finished drums our partners produce.
In addition to being available to large and smaller scale drum manufacturers, we have a global network of distribution partners. Many of our distributors offer ala carte services like drilling, machining, finishing, hardware and custom fabrications for DIY enthusiasts and artists.
