Handmade Solid Shell Drum Set and Snare Drum Manufacturer
Introducing Craviotto proprietary snare and tom rims
We are pleased to announce that our new proprietary snare drum and tom rims are now available. These rims harken back to the fine vintage rims of the past but with modern updates. Our rim is a double flange style with a 2.8 mm thickness. The thicker rim eliminates the “stick chopper” effect commonly associated with the thinner 50s rims, yet produces a very pronounced rim shot and a fat “cross stick”.
When designing this rim, we also wanted a more graceful look. On common rims today, there is a long flat spot at the top of the rim where the top of the tension rod sits. Our rim provides a more elegant look that is reminiscent of the finest vintage rims of the past.
These rims will be standard equipment on all Craviotto snare drums and toms, and they are a perfect complement to the superb quality solid shells that Johnny created. Of course, triple flange rims and die-cast rims can be ordered as an option.
