The Purple Chord Story

Founded on what began initially as a hobby, the Purple Chord journey started in the Netherlands in 2014, the product of Beppe Quiroli's long-held passion and fascination for the history, beauty and quality of vintage drums and cymbals.

With more than 20 years of experience behind him, and based on a deep and precise knowledge of the vintage drum and cymbal market, Beppe has grown Purple Chord into a community of like-minded drummers from diverse musical backgrounds.

Purple Chord is a true reference for musicians with a shared interest and love of high-quality vintage and classic drums and cymbals.

… And Today

With a move to Portugal in 2024, Beppe’s Purple Chord continues in a new and exciting phase of its life.

Beppe is focused on the best of classic “A” brand drums and cymbals, proposing an exclusive and niche catalogue of vintage instruments. With the benefit of his knowledge and experience he offers consulting and procurement services and support to drummers of all levels of experience to find the best instrument for their needs.

His mission is to bring back to life these unique and special instruments, beautifully reconditioning them to their former beauty and sound.
