Custom Drum Building
Drum ShellsOur Birch
drum shells are constructed with a vertical grain, which means that the
sound is purer and faster than a horizontal grain. Maple and Mahogany shells are constructed with an alternating horizontal and vertical grain to enhance tonal range and projection from the drum. We also offer a range of veneered finishes, which are part of the shell construction process. We always welcome your input to insure that we achieve the drum sound that you are looking for.
Drum FinishesVarious exotic wood veneer finishes are available in a raw wood or a finished shell.
Drum shells can be finished in an ultra-tough polyurethane varnish which provides a rich, clear finish that is heat, water and scratch-resistant (available in Matt Satin and High Glaze Gloss).
Tung oil finish to shells is also available, this is a process of many coats of oil rubbed into the shell and the buffed for a nice deep satin finish to your drum
