Craviotto Drums

Picture
Craviotto Drums was founded in 2004 by master builder Johnny Craviotto. Johnny has been known widely as the best drum craftsmen for Solid Shell Drums and his drums are widely coveted as the "Best Wood Drums" money can get.
Prior to setting up the Craviotto Drum Company, Johnny had an extensive collaboration with DW Drums where his drums were the flagship line of DW. 
Craviotto Drums are made to order and production is limited to as little as 70 kits a year and a few hundred snare drums. 
Contact us if you're interested in making a drum of your dreams!

Johnny C Series

Picture
The Johnny C Series Snare Drum are the only production model Snare Drums offered by Craviotto. 
Made out of 1ply Steambent North American Maple Shell, the Johnny C Series uses the same shells as the Custom Shop Maple Drums with 45" Bearing Edges.
By limiting the sizing, finishing and bearing edge, the price of the drum is much cheaper while offering the same quality as the Custom Shop Drums. 
The Johnny C Series features the Trick GS007 Throwoff, Johnny C Lugs, Remo USA Ambassador Drumheads, Craviotto Snare Wires and more. 
Johnny C Snares are available in 13x5.5, 13x6.5, 14x5.5 and 14x6.5. We currently stock the 14" Snares but the 13" are also available for order at the same price.
