HHG Drums 14x7 Purpleheart And Ebony Stave Snare Drum, Satin Oil

Purpleheart has long been a great choice for musical instruments. In this drum we coupled it with another unique tonewood, Gaboon ebony. 

Purpleheart is a very dense and hard wood species. Has a natural deep purple color that gets better with time, the purple color gets deeper and darker with exposure to UV light. Ebony, similarly, is a very dense and hard species. It is incredibly rare, and often nearly impossible to come by in anything other than very small pieces. Because of its dense and homogeneous nature it is always been a top choice for instrument makers. 

This drum is constructed using larger staves made from purple heart, with a thin ebony spline in between each piece of purple heart. The combination of these two woods is visually striking, as well as a great marriage of to subtly different tonewoods that make for vibrant, lively, and musical drum.

The drum pictured features our signature oil rubbed bronze single point lugs, and black nickel diecast hoops, tension rods, strainer, butt plate, and air vent. However, we can make this dream for you with any hardware that you would like.

The drum in the pictures features a satin oil finish, we would also be more than happy to do a high gloss finish or any type of colored lacquer that you might be interested in.

PLEASE NOTE:

When you purchase this drum, I will be building it from scratch for you, this could make for a bit of an extended lead time, but also presents the opportunity to customize the drum further if you're interested.
