Available on Amazon.com with Free Kindle Download! (Free Kindle App for Most Devices) Continue the tradition of designing and building Walberg and Auge drum sets and snare drums with the details and perfection-level craftsmanship of W&A drums built from yester-year. Established in 1903, Walberg and Auge started as a drum manufacturing company and a musical instrument repair shop in Worcester Massachusetts. W&A eventually started innovating, designing and manufacturing drum hardware for W&A drum sets and other drum companies such as Gretsch, Ludwig, Rogers, Slingerland, Leedy, Camco and Kent. Walberg and Auge was responsible for inventing and manufacturing the first hihat stand, first cowbell holder, first triangle holder, first cymbal stand with rubber feet, tom holder, first drum throne, first clamping basket snare stand (Buck Rogers snare stand), first telescopic wire brushes, first folding bass drum pedal and much more. It could be said that every American manufactured drum set from the 1920's - 1960's has and/or had a piece of Walberg and Auge hardware on the drum set. It also could be said that Walberg and Auge invented the 'modern drum set' as we know it today.
Walberg & Auge Drum Sets W&A also custom made high quality snare drums and drum sets, using mostly Gretsch shells with a variety of Gretsch, Rogers, Ludwig hoops and lugs. Robert George Bernard, (RGB) was the craftsman that handmade Walberg and Auge drum from the late 1950's until the closing of the factory in 1978. His initials and build date can be found inside each drum he made.
RGB learned his craft from his father, George Bernard. George started working for W&A in 1905. He hand crafted drums and other band instruments until the mid 1950's. His drums were usually painted black on the inside of each drum shell. Essentially, two generations of the 'Bernard family' were the key craftsman of Walberg and Auge drums. Now, this tradition continues with drum craftsman/artisan... Rob Magstar Kampa. This project is dedicated to Bernard Walberg, Alphonse Auge, Andrew E. Soderberg, John Layton, George Bernard, Robert Bernard, Stanley Francis, Clarence Walberg and all of the past employees of Walberg and Auge Inc. Thank you for all your innovations and quality standards used in the advent of the drum set and many other band instruments.
