Craviotto Solid
Shell Snare Drums
Works of Art For Working Drummers
Many collectors prize Craviotto drums. We're flattered.
Craviotto Custom Shop drums are unique, featuring extraordinary
rare or figured woods, special finishes, and custom sizes. The
Craviotto Lake Superior maple and birch Diamond Tube Lug Editionsnares,
presented by Drum Workshop, became modern legends. The stunning
birdseye maple, rich real mahogany, vibrant cherry, and bold
ash of the Craviotto Diamond Tube Lug Editiondrums makes each a visual
treat. But all Craviotto drums are made to be played, with fittings
built to Johnny's exacting, "working drummer" specifications,
and supplied with throwoffs, such as the Trick GS 007 and the
Dunnett R Class, that are sturdy, swift, silent, and state-of-the
-art. Craviotto drums combine the best of vintage sound and classic
design with modern durability. Craviotto Diamond Cast Series snares take
the working drummer ethic to the highest level. Works of art?
Yes. Delicate flowers? Absolutely not. Craviotto Diamond Cast Seriess feature
One piece Eastern Hardrock maple shells for rock solid sound
and reliability, matching reinforcing rings, Remo Ambassador
heads, Craviotto Diamond Cast Lugs and custom snares, Dunnett
R Class throwoff, sturdy gig bag, key-and a spare head and set
of sticks. These drums live to gig, and are priced with working
musicians in mind. Definitely NOT for display purposes only. Craviotto

Diamond Tube Lug Edition
Craviotto Diamond Tube Lug Edition Series Solid Shell
Snare Drums
The Diamond Tube Lug Edition Snare Drum Collection are the flagship
drums of the Craviotto Drum Co., and consist of high-performance
and highly collectible solid-shell snare drums, made from exotic
woods. American Ash, Birdseye Maple, Black Cherry and Mahogany
allow a distinctive quality of sound and response to emerge
due to the organic variety in the grain pattern and density
and mass of each board. The rarity and limited availability
of these exotic woods is what makes these drums Limited, with
only 250 sequentially numbered drums of each collection produced.
American Ash is a hard, strong yet relatively easy to process
wood that has rarely been used in drum manufacturing - despite
its availability, ease of use and excellent tonal characteristics.
Perhaps its inclusion as one of the four select wood types in the
Craviotto Diamond Tube Lug Edition snare drum collection will help establish
it as a mainstream material for drum construction, as well. Craviotto
Diamond Tube Lug Edition American Ash snare drums with matching reinforcing
hoops are available in a choice of two traditional sizes and, along
with their lightning-fast stick response, both drums possess a
clean, penetrating sound that is slightly darker and drier than
Maple yet brighter and fuller than Birch— creating a unique
collection of drums that offer a level of performance that must
be experienced to be fully appreciated.
The natural individuality of pattern and appearance found with
Birdseye Maple complements the wood's tonal personality and makes
each drum even more unusual and unique - not only from other woods,
but from one another. The Birdseye Maple snare drums are acclaimed
for their unsurpassed visual beauty as well as their uncommon consistency,
stick response and articulation. Its tonal character features a
well-balanced blend of low-end body, midrange focus and high-end
crack. This drum is fitted with matching reinforcing hoops.
Cherry wood has traditionally been chosen for cabinets, furniture
and interior trim. In addition to becoming increasingly popular
for home, office and automotive use, musical instruments made from
Black Cherry wood have also experienced a growth in demand. The
ruddy, reddish-brown color of the wood provides a distinctive appearance
while its hardness and density contribute to its highly desirable
tonal properties. The impressive aesthetic and acoustic qualities
of Cherry wood are further enhanced by they care and superior workmanship
that goes into all Craviotto solid-shell snare drums. The Black
Cherry snare drums, fitted with matching reinforcing hoops, offer
a bright, high-pitched focused sound with the sensitivity, tone
and response that is well-suited for a wide variety of classical
and contemporary musical applications.
The Mahogany snare drums have a distinctively dark, earthy tonal
quality derived from the more porous, less dense wood that naturally
filters the instrument’s high frequencies. The Maple reinforcing
hoops are used as a way to help counterbalance the Mahogany’s
prominent lower overtones— stabilizing the shell, raising
the pitch and increasing its projection without sacrificing its
unique tonal tendencies.
Each drum in the Diamond Tube Lug Edition Snare Drum Collection features
hand-selected, handcrafted shells and gleaming chrome-plated hardware
along with premium-quality components including Craviotto's "Diamond" tube
lugs, Remo Ambassador drumheads and Puresound 21-strand snare wires.
All drums come with a heavy-duty, padded Craviotto drum bag, and
Trick GS 007 strainer. Options include a choice of heavy-gauge
(2.3mm) triple-flanged Vintage style straight or diecast counterhoops
and natural satin oil or high-gloss lacquer finishes.
