[about GREGG KEPLINGER] He has many different roles as a drummer, percussionist, and drum tech. When he got his hands on a vintage drum, he wanted to make his own drums, so he procured stainless steel material from a pipe factory in Seattle and started manufacturing them. One of the units from the first production lot was used by the late jazz drumming legend Elvin Jones, and the name of the drummer quickly became known in the drumming world. After collaborating with drum manufacturers such as GMS and AYOTTE, he founded his own company, KEPLINGER DRUMS, which produces and sells not only drums but also a variety of drums and percussion instruments such as cymbals, tinkling drums, and shakers.
