Thanks to their construction process, stave drum shells deliver a very present and full-bodied sound.
Compared to plywood shells, they use a significantly lower amount of glue, allowing the shell to breathe and resonate more freely, resulting in a focused tone and greater projection.
We build custom stave shells in any size and with a wide variety of wood species, including mixed combinations.
You can choose different types of finishes: from the most natural ones that leave the shell free to resonate, to highly durable finishes resistant to impacts and scratches. The latter are more expensive but provide a premium look and feel.
If you don’t have the skills to turn a raw shell into a finished instrument, we can do it for you:
- Different types of finishes, from natural to highly resistant against impacts and scratches;
- Bearing edge and snare bed shaping, tailored to the sound you have in mind;
- Drilling for hardware installation;
- Final assembly.
