The photos are a representation and are not the exact item you will receive. Drum shells are made from natural wood products and there is no guaranty that the grain pattern will be the same. This is particularly true for “cover grade” shells. Also, we purchase our drum shells in lengths of 18” to 24”. They are cut to size at the time of purchase therefore, there are no refunds on drum shells. Please continue reading about cover grade shells…

This shell is considered "Covered Grade" appropriate for wrapped or opaque painted drum applications. 

This could mean several things: 

list of 3 items

1. The shell may have an outer ply that has an off color wood or grain pattern, mineral streaks, insect marks  or a manufacturing defect that is aesthetic

in nature.

2. Some of the above mentioned issues may be visible through clear or light colored stains or dyes. Therefore, we recommend these shells be wrapped or

painted solid/opaque colors. (Many companies use Covered Grade shells regularly for high volume shells or sets that are wrapped.)

3. The seam is within specification and filled but may not be completely closed.

These shells are round and structurally sound. The above listed (possible) defects are aesthetic only and will have no effect on the sound or performance.

These American made drum shells are hand-crafted from custom-molded North American Maple veneers. This is a new drum shell with no holes, hardware, bearing edges or rings.
