"Oodles of thanks to James Beier at Beier Drums for the blog mention. I've been using two of his snare drums pretty much exclusively since I bought them and I can't say enough good things about them. The drums sound and feel fantastic, microphones love them and they are just consistently great from night to night, gig to gig. And they are very affordable"...Donn Deniston (Mike Gentry, The Invasion, Tyler Rigdon, Independent)


"I asked Jim to make a custom drum for me that was 6.5 x 14 with ten lugs. It turned out great, and I am using it on the current Grand Funk Tour. Lot's of crack, lot's of character, lot's of bottom, and overall a HUGE sound. Great Job Jim"...Don Brewer (Grand Funk Railroad)

"So it was an honor to meet one of my drum heroes-Andy Parker of UFO. Of course we got to talking drums, and I told him how impressed I was by the sound of his snare drum, and asked him what kind it was. He told me it was made by a company called Beier Drums, and he gave me one of their business cards. The next day I emailed James Beier. I'll forever be grateful for meeting Andy that first time a few years back and I'm especially grateful for having the opportunity to finally meet James! I could never thank him enough for his ongoing support and friendship. My Beier snare drum is the best snare drum I've ever owned, and will continue to be my go-to whenever I'm in the studio, or performing live. Thank you James for an amazing time in St. Charles last weekend. I'll never forget it!"...Mike Collins (Metts, Ryan & Collins, Rooftop Screamers, Throwback Suburbia, Dilana, Earl Slick, Ken Stringfellow)

"James is a good friend of mine. I made through Twitter back when I was doing the “Behind The Kit” podcast. I remember seeing his drums and thinking of how great they looked. We connected and talked through messages for a while, me trying to get James on my show. At the time James didn’t think he had anything to bring to the table, but eventually we made it happen, and boy was he wrong! This episode will inspire you to chase after your passion and give you insight on just how James did that very thing. Lots of wisdom in this one! Enjoy!"...Matt Dudley Drumming Podcast
