Absolutely loved hearing the lower tuning on the timeless timber kit, you always put your kits in jazz tuning, which is totally fine, but it was so great to hear a punchier lower tuning for a change!
Tremendous accomplishment. Congratulations. This was some week for you - filled with incredible highs and lows. Drums sound fantastic. Do you know what else sounds fantastic? Your hands! They’re in fine shape! Keep on truckin’ Steve!
Why do so few drum makers use solid shells? Even the high-end Tama Star and the like are ply -- they don't even offer a solid shell line. With stringed instruments, laminate back and sides are only found on cheap instruments and no serious guitarist will use a laminate acoustic guitar.
Its a very specific build process, diminishing returns, and drums are different than guitars (where the wood and build matters much more in regards to sound and playing feel). Tama now does have a single ply snare in the line uo.
All sets are built to order so you can order one with two rack toms etc. All solid steam bent shells and all hand made. Send me an email at vintagedrums@aol.com and I can get you pricing.
Very moving, congratulations, thanks Johnny

I have a 13x6 Dw/Cravioto snare from around 20 years ago. My favorite
And the best part is
No cymbals ! A true demonstration and presentation of drum sounds without the distractions of cymbals
outstanding great looking drums
I am deeply moved by this video Steve and both kits are wonderful. God Bless JC and the entire crew!
Nice to hear one with the toms tuned a bit deeper
I like both

Great sound and great performance, Mr. Steve, as usual! 👏👏🥁🥁🍷
Those drums sound huge! Love em!
Number one sounds beautiful indeed
Yep Craviotto drums are the BEST on the planet !!!!
😎👍💗🇺🇸💣🥁🔥🎼 CRAVIOTTO!!!
We really miss ya John!
Without doubt the Pinnacle of drum making! Imho he was the Stradivarius of the drum world!
Great high end sounding kit both of them
Those drums are art level beautiful.
These are what will be comparable to say a Stradivarius violin some day in the future, they'll be a part of history.
wow

Do you build 4-5 piece kits? I’d love to have two toms in a custom kit… possible?

the 3 peice kit how much
Kit #1 not for sale. But, a standard 3 pc 12/14/18 Craviotto in maple would be $5585. Snare drum is $1250 extra.
