Schlagwerk to Exhibit at Las Vegas Drum Show March 29, 2026

Schlagwerk will exhibit at the Las Vegas Drum Show on March 29, 2026, the company announced on Feb. 20, 2026; plan to grab tickets on the Las Vegas Drum Show site and visit Gretsch/Schlagwerk at booths 68, 69 and 70. The Feb. 20 announcement appears on Schlagwerk’s news list and mirrors the show’s exhibitor roster, where Gretsch/Schlagwerk is explicitly listed as “GRETSCH/SCHLAGWERK (BOOTHS 68, 69, 70).”

Las Vegas Drum Show pages underline that the event mixes vendor hall and clinic programming: the site advertises confirmed exhibitors, venue info and a map, special hotel room rates, raffle prizes, sponsors, T-shirts and drum show tickets, and a countdown clock under a 2026 copyright. The exhibitor pages include clinic examples such as “joe derenzo masterclass @ 11:30 A.M.” with the program description, “From a jazz approach, Joe will explore 'Alternative Sticking' techniques used by Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson, as applied to Swing Drumming and demonstrations of the 'Jazz Brushes' patterns of the Masters including Elvin Jones, Tony Williams and Jack DeJohnette.”

Schlagwerk’s own news feed frames the announcement inside a busy trade-calendar year. The page opens with “Drum-roll: All news from the world of Schlagwerk” and lists the Las Vegas date as “Schlagwerk at the Las Vegas Drum Show March 29, 2026.” The same news page also shows the company on the road for Tamburi Mundi Festival 2026 April 2–12, with Schlagwerk noting “We’ll be there for you April 8–12,” and it cites prior and future trade appearances including NAMM Show 2026 and PASIC 2025 from November 12–15, 2025.

The Schlagwerk brand is described in the announcement materials as a German percussion company known for cajons, hand percussion and hybrid instrument products, and the company’s news archive includes product entries such as “New: Bassdrum Beater by Schlagwerk,” a new cajon series under “Rudiments,” and a note that “Schlagwerk has a new distribution partner in the USA.” Schlagwerk also lists prior Las Vegas Drum Show participation on March 30, 2025, confirming this is a returning presence rather than a debut.

Several logistical details remain to be confirmed before March 29: the Las Vegas Drum Show exhibitor list shows the Gretsch/Schlagwerk booth assignments on the 2026 site, but organizers and Schlagwerk have not published which Schlagwerk staff or artists will man booths 68, 69 and 70, nor have they released a clinic or demo schedule tied specifically to Schlagwerk. The Feb. 20 announcement does not list product demos or meet-and-greets, so attendees looking to plan set times should seek final schedules from show organizers and Schlagwerk PR as the date approaches.
