Dark, Deep and Full-Bodied Attack

This 14" x 6.5" shell produces a commandingly dark, warm, and vintage sound with an incredibly rich mid-to-low range presence. American Black Walnut naturally rounds off harsh high frequencies, giving recording engineers a smooth, pre-EQ'd acoustic profile. The versatile 6.5" shell depth provides a fat, foundational "thunk" that sits beautifully at the heart of any global rock, pop, or blues mix. At lower tunings, the drum delivers a massive, pillowy backbeat, while high-tension tuning unlocks a woody, singing pop that retains its warmth and stays entirely free of abrasive or metallic overtones.

Custom 20-Stave Horizontal Grain Design

This premium shell features an engineered 20-stave construction where the timber grain runs horizontally around the circumference of the drum. By orienting the grain horizontally in a solid block configuration, the shell mirrors the classic look and body of a traditional ply shell but retains the pure, undampened sonic energy of solid wood. Free from the heavy, tone-killing glue layers found in factory plywood drums, the horizontal grain orientation allows sound waves to travel seamlessly around the shell. This results in an incredibly broad, expressive dynamic range, offering a slightly longer, highly musical sustain tail and a deeply sensitive snare response across the entire drumhead.
