Mahogany was a common shell material for drums made by revered American companies like Ludwig, Leedy, and Slingerland. However, many of these companies used plies or thin sheets of Mahogany in their drum shell construction. Craviotto Drum Company selects each board and bends it into a musical work of art. Craviotto Drum Company responsibly selects their wood from choice suppliers who do not disturb the ecological balance. Craviotto Solid Shell Mahogany Drums have a distinctively dark, earthy tonal quality derived from the more porous, less dense wood that naturally filters the instrument’s high frequencies. Mahogany is known for its richness and warmth, visually and sonically and has quickly become a Craviotto artist and employee favorite.

Craviotto Custom Shop drums offer heirloom quality and a truly personalized sound and feel. Each Custom Shop drum is constructed from a single, solid board of hand-selected premium grade hardwood. Along with Johnny's unique bending process, Craviotto cures and hand finishes each shell to ensure strength, stability, and unparalleled performance. Craviotto Custom Shop drums provide unsurpassed tone, unequaled performance, and a one-of-a-kind instrument as original as the artist playing it.
