Its shells, made of 6 horizontal plies of first choice American maple, offer exceptional musicality. The dimensions of the SIMONE comply with the standards of the brand's historical models (with international dimensions). The 'Simone' series.īy creating the kit SIMONE, we want to pay tribute to Simone Boudard, the 'S' of ASBA. I have three sets and some snare drums and will be providing you with detailed photos and video for them all. The sets capture all three of the classic shell compositions used during the 50s through 70s: 3 ply mahogany/poplar/mahogany 3 ply maple/poplar/maple, and 6 ply maple. There is something here for everyone: Superb kits for jazz, rock, fusion, and any other application. The ASBA drum sets and snare drums are superbly crafted by hand in their Lyon, France factory. They design and manufacture their shells and parts and have created superb products that not only pay tribute to the excellent original ASBA line, but also create superb instruments that meet the demands of any modern drummer. Thankfully, in 2016 Guillaume Pornet embarked on relaunching ASBA and developed an excellent team. Here is a pic:ĪSBA flourished during this era and their drums were sold in more than 25 countries, however, in 1983 the pressure from competitors manufacturing in Asia caused the company to close. Even the incomparable Elvin Jones endorsed ASBA drums at one time. Mel said in a 1978 interview that he used to use it for small trio dates). ASBA drums were played by many of the USA's finest players including Al Foster (studio legend and also with Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, etc), jazz great Daniel Humair (who, by the way, gifted an ASBA set to Mel Lewis at one point. The pedal was so good that it was distributed in the USA by Ludwig at the time. That pedal was used by the likes of Mitch Mitchell, jazz greats Joe Porcaro and Albert 'Tootie' Heath, and many other artists of this era. Their drums were superbly made and they also designed the famous ASBA 'Caroline' bass drum pedal in 1965. Throughout the years they created many very innovative products, especially in the 60s and 70s. We are so pleased to be bringing you the incredible ASBA drums hand made in Lyon, France. !NEW!
