The VSS Difference
VSS Shells provide manufacturers with cleaner entry and exit for drilling, more consistent bearing edges, and improved stability for finishing. Players can expect drums that start with VSS shells to deliver a wider tonal range, more resonant frequencies, and noticeable volume increases.

The Keller Difference
As a leading drum shell manufacturer for nearly 70 years, we know what it takes to build long-lasting, high-quality shells. In fact, many of the quality drums and kits from the 60’s and 70’s were made in the same factory as today. All of our drum shells are made only from woods that have undergone rigorous selection and screening processes. In addition, they are created using our state-of-the-art stagger seam lamination process.
