Our ply drum shells are created in house using traditional methods of bending sheets of ply or veneer into a solid walled housing. Our tooling has been developed over a number of years and enables us to create shells of perfect round, uniform thickness and ultimate strength. No additional machinery is used in this method, fine measurements are taken throughout construction which ensures each layer of ply or veneer firmly butts together when inserted into the housing, something mass produced shells can’t always achieve, particularly on the middle plies.

Shell depth and thickness can be selected, all diameter shells can be made up to square depths and shell thickness can be chosen from thin 4mm shells up to 10mm thick and beyond.

Products Overview

 

There are a few general principles on the characteristics of particular drum shells, but there are a huge number of factors which effect the end result that you hear

Shell material, thickness, depth, bearing edge angle, number and size of vents and drumhead selection can all radically change the sound of a drum and the basic principles should be read with that in mind.

Thin Ply Shell:  

Warm, greater resonance, lower volume, lower pitch

Thick Ply Shell: 

Greater volume and projection, higher pitch

Shallow Ply Shell: 

Responsive, fast attack, short decay

Deep Ply Shell: 

Huge tone, big sound, reduction in sensitivity

Stave Shells:   Extremely responsive, fast attack with well-rounded rich tone and massive projection

Steambent Shells:
  Resonant with a huge ‘crack’ like rolling thunder with a sensitive side!
