Craviotto might be the most famous name in steambent drum shells these days, and though Johnny himself has passed on, Steve Maxwell and Saul Rocha and the rest of the crew in Nashville are producing absolutely stunning drums exactly how Johnny did - with the fewest pieces of wood possible!

The Craviotto construction starts with one plank of wood, which enters a metal chamber filled with steam until it becomes flexible, then is removed and placed into a cylindrical form to make a drum shell. It is then fit with similarly solid top and bottom reinforcement rings. So the shell is one continuous piece from top to bottom, and three total pieces. The end result is an incredibly sensitive drum with a limitless dynamic range!

This is the only 7"-deep drum that we received from Craviotto. The extra depth paired with the strong bark of ash gives this drum a strong attack with tons of bottom end, and the double set of lugs dries the sound out a little bit, so this thing is an absolute powerhouse!
