We are very proud to announce that Welch Tuning Systems, Inc. was awarded Best In Show for Companies to watch at this winter's 2020 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California!
The prestigious Best In Show awards ceremony took place on the final morning of the trade show. Moderated by Frank Alkyer, publisher of Music Inc. and UpBeat Daily magazines, a panel of industry experts "spotlighted products, services, and technologies" that stood out at this year's winter NAMM Show. Each Best In Show winner was introduced in one of four categories: Best Add-Ons and Accessories, Gotta Stock It, Companies to Watch, and the overall Best In Show.
Out of around 2,260 exhibitors, Welch Tuning Systems was 1 of 26 recognized for innovation and excellence at the Best In Show awards ceremony.
Both our company and the WTS Artistry Series™ drums were highlighted by Best In Show panelist Robert Christie of A & G Central Music.

I saw these drums at the Namm show in Anaheim Ca Two years in a row, I love the concept and the look as well, but as a purchaser I would not want to be limited and only buy from one particular drum manufacturer. I think many other drummers, along with me as well, would want to purchase the tuning system rather than the drum and place the tuning system on their own drums. I love my own drums and paid a significant amount for me to just pay for another set to achieve faster tuning on a drum that may or may not be what I like. The drums are priced like if they were a dw collection series. However if the price is right, I believe many would pay for the system rather than getting it with the drums. Just my opinion but if it’s something Welch would take in consideration, sign me up when the tuning system itself would be available for purchase. My DW kit will look dope and my setups would be faster for sure!

Thank you for your comment and feedback! While we do not offer WTS hardware on its own at this time, we appreciate your input. We are, however, starting to build relationships with other drum manufacturers so that WTS can eventually be an option from every drum brand!
