Woodland Percussion prides itself in the attention to detail incorporated in our handcrafted stave snare drums. Stave drums are designed specifically to resonate and vibrate as naturally as possible, creating rich tones and strong projection. This process is unlike typical modern drum shells, fabricated with either ply construction (thin sheets of wood bonded with glue and pressed into a cylinder) or steam bent (a single piece of wood heated and curved under stress). Stave shells consist of vertically oriented blocks that are beveled and glued to create a cylinder. Allowing the grain to run in its natural direction and the staves bonded without any unnecessary stress plays a significant roll in achieving this superior sound.
