In 2024 we introduced our new Special Edition badge for small batch, limited edtion drums. Our goal is to release a new batch every few months. Please sign up for our email newsletter to receive announcements every time a new drum is released. Below are a few examples of Special Edition drums we've made.
SPECIAL EDITION | SOLID SHELL HACKBERRY
Released February 2024, Limited Edition of 30, Available in 14” diameter at depths of 3.875”, 5”, 6”, 7” and 8”
The sound of the Hackberry SS Classic blends characteristics of both our Maple and Cherry - great mid-range with a nice sustain, and a crack that works well at both medium and high tunings. The wood has interesting grain patterns that favorably blend peach colored tones with brown highlights.
The Hackberry tree is native to North America and is also known as Nettletree, Sugarberry, and Beaverwood. It is a hardwood with a color that blends gray with light brown and yellow. The name, Hackberry, comes from the small orange-red fruits that the trees produce in the fall.
special edition | mappa burl maple snare
Released May 2024, Limited Edition of 10, Available as 6.5x14” in Aqua Marine Fade finish
The sound of the Mappa Burl snare has the body and punch of maple with a bright overtone that is a characteristic of the walnut reinforcement rings that have been added to the inside of the shell. The sound of the drum is enhanced with a sharp attack and added projection provided by the die cast rims.
Mappa Burl is a decorative wood veneer characterized by its distinctive grain pattern that features light brown heartwood peppered by an unusual darker, bark-like pattern of tight clusters.
SPECIAL EDITION | SOLID SHELL BLACK LOCUST
Released June 2024, one-off
Made for a special friend of ours who supplies us with wood and courteously appeared in some of our recent video content.
Black Locust is one of the hardest woods in North America and is used frequently for furniture, flooring, paneling, fence posts and even small watercraft.
