Schlagwerk - Percussion handmade in Germany.

Schlagwerk is writing history as well as setting the pace for future development. Everything we craft by hand in this unique factory is the result of our ties with tradition and the fact that we are constantly striving to improve our products. Only in this way can we make the perfect sound possible and make dreams reality. We will tell you some of our stories here.

It’s a good thing that clocks tick slightly differently at Schlagwerk. Owner Gerhard Priel sets the beat – and sticks to it. Because here, it’s not about minutes or hours but about a passion for percussion instruments crafted by a master hand. Instruments with limitless musical possibilities that reveal the love and superb craftsmanship that goes into their making.
Our most important tools are our hands and our ears. We are driven by our passion and the urge to produce perfect hand-made instruments. That’s what has made us unique for over 25 years. And proud, too – because real craftsmanship such as ours has become a rarity. That’s why we have made it our mission to preserve this tradition and to continue surprising and convincing you with quality and innovation made in Germany.
