After collaborating on some snare drums, the tattoo artist decided to commission a custom piece for himself. The end result is this impeccably designed piece of functional percussive art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foundation for a great drum is the shell, and the foundation on this drum is rock-solid. It's made from rare spalted sycamore lumber, a species that can only be created by very a specific set of natural conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter finding some stellar examples of this species we said about making a handcrafted stave shell for this drum. This means that the shell is made from solid wood, not plywood like almost all other mass-produced drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stave shell was then finished with a super high gloss mahogany burst lacquer finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the edges and snare beds were shaped to perfection, featuring a 45-degree inside cut and quarter inch round over outside cut bearing edge.  This is the optimal bearing edge for stave shells because it allows maximum energy transfer from the batter head to the shell providing a warm sounding drum with tons of punch and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally the drum was assembled using our proprietary oil rubbed bronze single point lugs, 2.3 mm triple flange hoops, vintage style strainer, die-cast buttplate, die-cast antique silver HHG badge, die-cast air vent, and 30 strand  snare wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with all of our drums and listings shown, when you place an order with HHG Drums, \u003cb\u003eyour new instrument will be hand-crafted in house, from scratch\u003c\/b\u003e. The drum shown in the pictures was built for a customer, and now resides with them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have any idea for a shell, snare, or kit- please feel free to contact us at facebook.com\/hhgdrums or via our Instagram by following @hhg_drums.
