Solid wood stave snare drum construction involves meticulously crafting the drum shell from individual, solid wood staves that are carefully selected and arranged in a cylinder. Each stave is cut to precision angles and joined together to form the drum shell, resulting in a seamless and durable structure. This method differs from traditional ply construction, where thin layers of wood are glued together to form the shell. This results in a 95% reduction in glue allowing you to hear the true sound of the wood. The staves are arranged in a vertical grain orientation which promotes optimal resonance and projection by allowing the wood fibers to vibrate more freely along the length of the staves. This results in a richer, more focused sound with enhanced clarity and definition by. Stave construction enhances the resonance, tonal richness, and overall quality of the drum, making it a preferred choice for discerning drummers seeking superior sound and craftsmanship.

CNC Milling produces incredibly precise cuts enabling us to create the ultimate union of machine made precision and hand made craftsmanship
Nitrocellulose lacquer, Renowned for its superior qualities, offers a stunning depth of color and a lustrous, mirror-like shine that enhances the natural beauty of wood grains. Typically reserved for the high-end guitar market due to its incredibly labor-intensive and technical application. Nitro offers enhanced Resonance: Unlike thicker, more modern finishes, nitrocellulose lacquer is thin and breathable, allowing the wood to vibrate and resonate more freely. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this premium finish provides exceptional durability, ensuring that your instrument withstands the rigors of performance while aging gracefully over time. With a thin, breathable layer, nitrocellulose lacquer allows the wood to resonate freely, preserving the drum’s sonic integrity and enhancing its tonal characteristics.

perfectly flat bearing edge
45-degree bearing edges provide improved head-to-shell contact, resulting in enhanced resonance, sensitivity, and overall tone. The CNC cut precise angle of the bearing edges helps to reduce unwanted overtones, resulting in a focused and controlled sound. Additionally, double 45-degree bearing edges offer increased versatility, allowing for a wide range of tuning options and dynamic expression. This design ensures consistent performance across various playing styles and musical genres, making snare drums equipped with double 45-degree bearing edges an ideal choice for drummers seeking superior quality and responsiveness. Once cut our bearning edge are then sanded perfectly flat using a granite inspection surface plate yielding an edge flat to 0.000200″ unilateral tolerance.
