It's crazy how things work out sometimes, I have an affinity for quality drums, and discovered a niche' market drum, that is solid shell, no glue, no layers. The company is called John Craviotto drums. Sadly John passed away I think in 2016, but his company and drums live on. I have 2 here now, and 1 more on the way, all out of different hardwoods.
I have a 5"X 14" Cherry snare drum, a 4.25 X 14" snare drum (Zebrawood) Arrives FRIDAY, it god delayed a day. I also got today, drum roll... A 14 X 14" Walnut floor tom to add to my small set, and bring it up to 4 tom toms, it fit BEAUTIFULLY tonally, and gives it that botton end BANG that the set needed. I did not get the wood rims or claw lugs that attach to wood rims sadly. I have metal, but that is ok, my rest of my set is metal true hoops from DW. Is this not a gorgeous drum with maple inlay? I am beside myself, I am so giddy!!! I think the middle inlay on the drum also has Cherry, but I am not certain. I know it's not Walnut.
I am adding this and either of the 2 snares to my DW small set. I also have a spare DW applewood snare drum and a DW 7 or 8" DW Cherry snare drum, both Collectors editions. I am having to much fun at to much money.
I now have a full set of craviatto drums, these are deep drums, Walnut, and solid shell, they are steam bent. I am working on getting a snare to match the Cravs, they are beautiful drums and so deep sounding. I have a line on a 6.5 X 14 snare drum to matchj my set, it will give me options, I will be talking to them on Saturday about the drum. Very cool I thinik...;
This is what is called a bop set, that means 1 top up and 2 toms down, 22" bass drum, Walnut solid shells. Deep deep sound, and I added DW hardware to make the set rock. I love drums and guitars. yeah, I do. :-)
