Beverley drums were made and distributed by different companies. Deans & Son metal fabricators was established in 1905 and began making musical accessories including drum hardware. By the mid 1930’s they were making and marketing their own Beverley range of drums, stands, consoles and accessories. Their metal snare drums appeared in the Windsor Drums catalogue. In 1958 the owner sold the company to Albert Della-Porta (the founder of Premier), who wanted their huge accessories customer base. Drums were a minor consideration and were handled by John Cawood, made in the Premier factory. In 1970, after Albert Della-Porter's death, the Beverley brand was sold to Boosey & Hawkes. B&H had stopped manufacturing drums so continued with Premier manufacturing and badged as their own line until they left the drum market in 1979. When the Beverley brand had died, Premier continued making the same specification drums, calling them the Projector series. Late Beverley drums with 'Blue B' or 'B&H' badges are magnificent instruments and remain massively undervalued.
