This week's guest is drum builder James Beier. James builds some of the most incredible cost effective snare drums on the market today. Drummers the likes of Seth Rausch, Tommy Hardon, Tracy Brussard, Kent Slucher, Chad Melchert, David Northrup and many more have made a Beier snare drum (or two or three) a part of their sound both live and in the studio.
James' incredible attention to detail and passion for cultivating a community around his instruments is unparalleled in the music industry. We talk about a range of subject spanning topics from drum building, the progression of Beier Snare Drums, artists that use his instruments to what he has planned for the future.
