What We Think

Craviotto snares have long been regarded for their tone and aesthetics. This 6.5x14 Mahogany snare with inlay is no exception. Light to the touch, it delivers big solid tone in a small package. The 45-degree bearing edges create articulate and defined sounds in multiple tuning ranges while the shell adds warmth you won't get from its maple or birch cousins. Mahogany snare drums have a distinctively dark, earthy tonal quality derived from the more porous, less dense wood that naturally filters the snare's high frequencies. The maple reinforcing rings are used as a way to help counterbalance the Mahogany's prominent lower overtones by stabilizing the shell, raising the pitch and increasing its projection without sacrificing its unique tonal tendencies. Once you hit one of these incredible drums, you'll see why it's no wonder so many players go to Craviotto to find their sound.

Craviotto Drums

About Manufacturer

Since 2004, Craviotto Drum Company has paved the way in offering custom built, handcrafted one-ply, solid shell drums.  Our aim is to explain how solid shells perform differently from ply shell drums. Craviotto Drum Company builds concepts.  We want to share these creations with you. We also want to promote our family of artists, and our family of dealers where you can purchase one for yourself.

Each custom drum we make is handcrafted by our small group of artists and craftsmen in California. We don't source our shells like other manufacturers.  We get our hands dirty. We start from scratch and see the process through all the way here in the USA. No shortcuts are taken, no compromises made.

Our process starts when we send our craftsmen to the source. Johnny and our team literally pick through millions of board-feet of wood determining which boards are good enough to bear the Craviotto name. And that's just the starting point.  

From there, each drum goes through Johnny's proprietary process and passes through the six most talented sets of hands in the drum building business. Each shell wears Johnny's fingerprints, sweat, and final signature of approval with pride.  Not every board makes it, only the best get Johnny's signature.
