Craviotto Limited Series 14"x5.5" Ash Solid Shell Snare (No. 45 of 125)

About This Product

The Limited Edition Snare Drum Collection are the flagship drums of the Craviotto Drum Co., and consist of high-performance and highly collectible solid-shell snare drums, made from exotic woods. The American Ash allows a distinctive quality of sound and response to emerge due to the organic variety in the grain pattern and density and mass of each board. The rarity and limited availability of these exotic woods is what makes these drums Limited, with only 125 sequentially numbered drums produced.

American Ash is a hard, strong yet relatively easy to process wood that has rarely been used in drum manufacturing - despite its availability, ease of use and excellent tonal characteristics. Perhaps its inclusion as one of the four select wood types in the Craviotto Limited Edition snare drum collection will help establish it as a mainstream material for drum construction, as well. Along with its lightning-fast stick response, this drum possess a clean, penetrating sound that is slightly darker and drier than Maple yet brighter and fuller than Birch— creating a unique drum that offers a level of performance that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Each drum in the Limited Edition Snare Drum Collection features hand-selected, handcrafted shells and gleaming chrome-plated hardware along with premium-quality components including Craviotto's "Diamond" tube lugs, Remo Ambassador drumheads and Puresound 21-strand snare wires. All drums come with a heavy-duty, padded Craviotto drum bag, and Trick GS 007 strainer.

This drum was made in 2006 and is in perfect "as new" condition. The resonant snare side head has been replaced with an Evans Hazy 400.
