Craviotto’s Walnut Solid-Shells are World renowned for their warmth, low-end fundamental, and fullness. Walnut also offers an incredible tuning range, and low-end attack but still produces a softer, breathier, and lower fundamental tone compared to Maple. 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.
