Craviotto Snares

The Craviotto Unlimited Snare Drum was developed to provide drummers with an extraordinary alternative for everyday situations. The new Unlimited Series solid-shell maple snare drum from Craviotto is the snare for all occasions. This superbly crafted instrument is created from a single piece of hand-selected, premium-grade North American maple. Craviotto continues to both refine and redefine the art and science of solid-shell drum construction. The perfect balance of old and new, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and performance.

Craviotto Limited Edition Bird’s-Eye Maple Snare Drum Birdseye Maple 14X5.5 Inches
The limited-edition Craviotto Bird’s-eye Maple Snare is acclaimed for its unsurpassed beauty as well as its uncommon consistency, stick response, and articulation. With a tonal character that features a well-balanced blend of low-end body, midrange focus, and high-end crack, the Craviotto Bird’s-Eye Maple snare drum has the quality and versatility to excel in both general-purpose and special-purpose drumming situations.Bird’s-eye figuring occurs in only a small percentage of all maple trees. As unpredictable as it is rare, Bird’s-eye is random in pattern and appearance and is not created by soil, wind, climate, or other external conditions like other types of figuring such as curly or quilted maple. Instead, it is part of each tree’s genetic makeup-much like freckles in human beings. This individuality of appearance complements the wood’s tonal personality and makes each drum even more unusual and unique.

Craviotto Unlimited Snare Drum Blue 6.5×14
Combines classic shell design with Craviotto’s proprietary bending, curing, and finishing processes. Each shell begins as a solid piece of 1/2″ thick solid North American Maple. The wood is then steam bent and hand rolled in the U.S. by Johnny himself. After he completes the process, the shell is a uniform 1/4″ thick (not including reinforcement hoops). This unique combination of methods and materials not only ensures the roundness, strength, and stability of the shell, it also gives the Craviotto snare drum its distinctive and highly desirable warmth, depth, and sensitivity. Appointments include matching top and bottom reinforcing hoops and precisely applied bearing edges, each Unlimited Series drum features exclusive “Diamond” cast lugs, badge, and butt-plate. A rich, hand-rubbed natural satin oil finish further enhances the drum’s overall appearance and performance. The Unlimited Series’ extensive list of standard equipment also includes chromeplated, heavy-gauge, triple-flanged counterhoops, Dunnett R-Class swivel lever throw-off, Craviotto snare wires, top-quality Remo Ambassador drumheads (an extra batter head is included), Craviotto drum key, and maple drumsticks. Includes reinforced drum bag with pocket for extra drumhead.The Dunnett R-Class Swivel Lever sets a new standard for reliability, simplicity, and advanced ergonomics. The throw-off features a position lever that can be rotated 180 degrees relative to the drum shell, allowing the drummer to position the lever for easy access regardless of the position of the drum. A friction tension system prevents movement caused by vibrations.
