The new Craviotto drums take advantage of an advanced technique for creating one-ply shells from a variety of hand-selected and tonally matched woods.

After two solid planks of wood are milled, steamed, bent and lathed to scientific tolerances using Craviotto\'s proprietary processes, the two sections are joined together under extreme pressure to form a virtually seamless shell.

Craviotto\'s trademark reinforcing hoops and precise bearing edges as well as a decorative \"Diamond\" inlay are then applied.

The result is a drumset with the structural integrity, range, clarity, warmth and sensitivity of a finely-crafted, solid-shell instrument. Craviotto\'s revolutionary process not only allows the production of standard and extended depth One-Ply tom-toms and bass drums, it also provides the ability to \"bookmatch\" drumshells using pre-selected, cross-sawn boards as is often done in high-end guitar making.

In addition, One-Ply drum construction allows different yet complimentary woods (for example, maple and walnut or walnut and cherry) to be combined into spectacular \"Two-Tone\" drumkits.

Craviotto One-Ply drumkits are made in U.S.A., available on a limited, made-to-order basis and subject to the availability of appropriate wood supplies. You can find more information at www.craviottodrums.com.
