Shells
The most important decision you will make to determine how your drum will sound. We offer many different shells and even more different materials to choose from.
​
We've put years into curating our shell selection, constantly refining cunstruction and wood sourcing.
​
Our standard shell since 2015 is the LB MBM shell, everything else is considered an upgrade and will mark up the price of your drum. However there's a reason why we trust so much in this basic shell concept: it is the most versatile and full sounding shell we've ever made and is by many drummers referred to as the LB Sound. If you are into a different shell or material, we'd be happy to provide what ever you need to get the job done.
​
All our wood shells are made by a family owned carpentry not far from here to our exact specifications. Acrylic shells are from the US or China. Metal shells can come from anywhere in CH, EU, US or Taiwan.
LB MBM
LB Classic

Formerly called LB Premium.
Custom shells made from maple, birch, beech, cherry, ash, mahagony, bubinga and more. Any ply configuration, any size. Choose exactly what's right for you.
