Certain drums have a certain something and Craviotto snares have “it.” What is the definition of “it?” Well, “it” has depth, body, crack, and tone, so in the context of music, if it’s just a flam, a cross stick, or a subtle tap that is allowed to be experienced completely free of the other instruments, a fullness is felt, and to the casual ear, well, they don’t get “it” but they get it. Make sense? That’s the spirit of the steam bent solid ply shell mastered by drum craftsman Johnny Craviotto.

Craviotto snares are staples in all the major studios, and they are owned by the world’s finest drummers. Expensive? Well, yes and no. This isn’t a production model assembly line drum, ready to be mass marketed, it’s an elite instrument aimed for people who cherish fine instruments, and recognize the importance of tone. DCP got a special buy on this drum, and there are two available for only $999. They are accompanied with a plush padded protective bag. Call 603-319-8109 to reserve one.
