Solid Shell Sets
Craviotto Custom Shop & Classic Series
Despite sporadic attempts, and a few isolated prototypes, no drum manufacturer has succeeded in producing solid shell drumsets for the American market-until now. This is hardly surprising. For example, the machinery necessary to steam bend, mold, lathe, turn and finish round single ply bass drum shells, that will stay true, has proven an especially daunting task, considered to be impractical, and too costly for production purposes. Premium boards large enough to be fashioned into the 22" and 24" bass drums now finding renewed favor are scarce, and transforming them into musical instruments is a daunting process. Johnny Craviotto thinks its worth it. When you play a Craviotto kit, whether you favor Craviotto Classic traditional jazz sizes, the Custom Shop's thunderous Big Band sizes, or the progressive, streamlined Craviotto Custom Shop & Classic Series, we think you'll agree: nothing else sounds like a one ply kit.
Craviotto Classic and Craviotto Custom solid shell drumsets feature Craviotto’s signature natural solid wood shell in their selection of Bass, Tom & Snare drums. It’s the Sound that counts... Craviotto Drum Company’s solid shell construction creates the tonal balance revered by engineers and artists, regardless of the size, dimensions and specifications.
