About us

SCHLAGZU

Our rental service 'Schlagzu' ( which means as much as 'beat it' or 'hit it') started in the year 1994. Dieter Pöll is the founder of 'Schlagzu', but there is also Andreas Regler, who has been the owner of the company since the year 2009. Both Dieter Pöll and Andreas Regler are professional drummers who have completed a degree in playing drums and percussion instruments at renowned music academies.

Philosophy

A drummer or percussionist these days has to live up to the expectations of modern audiences and conductors, but also new compositions have tremendously heightened the requirements which a modern musician has to fulfil. Alongside this development also the need for high-quality instruments and the demand for a greater variety of instruments has grown.

It is our declared aim to support you with all our know-how. With our expert knowledge we will be able to provide you with the best instruments possible, instruments of the highest quality and best possible sound.

For many years we have put our trust in 'SchlagZu'. We have always found that the rented instruments didn't only fulfil the highest qualitative standards, but also were in extremely good condition – and thus were able live up to our high expectations.


Aglaja Thiesen, Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Our drummers and timbal players at the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA were very contented with the 'SchlagZu' instruments. We have already ordered our instruments from them for the 6th time and according to the wishes of our musicians, it's going to stay that way.


Christiane Weber, Lucerne Festival

As a stage manager of the 'Ensemble Modern' I have to deal with the necessity of renting out instruments again and again and thus I am pleased, that I can rely on the high standards of a company like 'SchlagZu'.


Ernst Neisel, Ensemble Modern

We could completely rely on 'SchlagZu' and the company's employees, especially when we had to provide our candidates with the necessary intruments for their respective repertoires during the course of the competition. During all the four levels of the competition the company was able to provide and install the instruments correctly and on time. 'SchlagZu' has supported us and the competition in a perfect way.
