A visually stunning wood, this Craviotto cherry 6.5x14 snare drum has an attractive tight grain pattern with a nice warm hue that is showcased with Black Candy Sunburst. Caught somewhere between mahogany and walnut in terms of density, this shell exudes articulation, warmth, and presence that is not found in your standard production drum offerings.
As with most Craviotto drums, tuning is easy and won't take you long to find your new happy place. Complemented with matching cherry reinforcing rings and 45-degree bearing edges, this snare drum has all the makings of a "modern vintage" sound. We loved the dynamics the 45-degree edges offered whether you played at low or high volume levels. Notes are crisp and precise from the center all the way out to the edges.
Since their inception in 1990, Craviotto drums have been considered some of the most sought-after instruments in the world. It is John Craviotto's master craftsmanship and commitment to quality that has set his work apart from all of the rest. 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. Discover it for yourself through our Try Before You Buy program today.
In this video, Sound Pure drums specialist Barry Knain explains the various features of the Craviotto 6.5x14 Cherry Custom Snare Drum, Black Burst, and tests it out in several different tuning ranges.

All drums come with a heavy-duty, padded Craviotto drum bag, and chrome Trick GS007 strainer.

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.
