Custom Concentric Cut Kit Drum Sets are a specialty of Bezl’s. Bezl has been playing kit drums since the age of seven, and has performed with a variety bands and music styles throughout his life. Bezl knows how the kits should look, sound and perform and he knows intuitively what drummers want in a kit.

These drum sets are hand carved in the natural position of the wood from exotic hard wood logs. Most of Bezl’s drum kit sets are carved from the same log and the intrinsic wood grain variations and features can be seen throughout each drum in the kit.

These drums project and resonate deep organic tones that only occur when wood is carved in its natural position. For musical instruments the relaxed vertical grain of concentrically cut drums give fundamentally crisper, cleaner, warmer tones and gives the drummer greater dynamic range and higher sensitivity.

Concentric Cut Kit Drum Sets can be built to custom specifications such as wood selection (depending upon availability), drum finish, hardware and heads. Bezl typically has a few kits in the process of completion just waiting for customer finish selections. Once you place an order for a Concentric Cut Kit Drum Set and if you select in-stock shells you should anticipate 4 – 8 weeks for delivery (If you want special wood that you provide or needs curing, the process can add 4 – 12 additional weeks depending upon the drying stage of the wood).
