All our instruments are developed, designed and built here in Germany. Numerous patents & industrial property rights as well as countless awards document our ingenuity since 1982.

Only selected raw material is utilized for the production of Schlagwerk products. Our production is a so-called industrial manufactory, based on experienced manual work enhanced with most modern woodworking technology. Schlagwerk is known for best craftsmanship and highest quality. High-Tech is used, if the product quality or work safety can be improved. At the same time, we are proud to rely on traditional craftsmanship of our highly skilled employees. You can hear and feel that there is a lot of expert manual work in our drums when the instruments sound.

Sustainability is important to us which is why all sanding dust and the smallest wood residues are collected with our high-performance extraction system and used for our own energy supply via a combined heat and power station. Everything revolves around quality: A constant check in all work steps runs through the entire production process. Once the product is finished, things get really serious.Every instrument must face the critical scrutiny of our final inspection. It is played and adjusted here in order to live up to our high-quality promise. To fulfill this promise is not just an expectation it is embedded deep in our DNA.

Cajon la Perù EVO Burl CP4907

The La Perù EVO Burl is made of solid, stained alder in the body, beech back and design veneer playing surface. The playing surface is semi-glued and screwed together for the typical La Perù bass. While the alder body reinforces the controlled bass, the 2x4 snare strings, which are fanned out on the back of the playing surface, produce the rich and ultra-precise snare sounds. All four snare strings can be adjusted separately. These features together make the visually and technically impressive La Perù EVO Burl Cajon an extremely versatile instrument, suitable for any style of music.

Chiadero RTS25SK

The Shake Drum.

A drum, a shaker, world first!

Our Chiadero rethinks tradition. It breaks new ground in frame drum design and bridges the gap between classic frame drums, panderos, dafs, tambourines, and shakers: the Chiadero impresses with its versatility, exquisite craftsmanship, and authentic sound aesthetics—made in Germany. Developed in collaboration with Tomas Millner & Danilo Raimondo.

At first glance, it appears to be a classic frame drum made of multi-layered beech wood, but when played, it reveals its surprising feature— an integrated shaker sound that blends harmoniously with the warm, natural tone of the hand-selected goatskin. This creates a sound spectrum that combines depth, movement, and expression – ideal for solo performances, studio recordings, and live sets.

The drums are available in diameters of 40 cm and 25 cm. The hand-selected goatskins can be tuned using tuning screws integrated into the frame, allowing for the finest nuances in sound and volume.
