A visually stunning wood, this Craviotto cherry 6.5x14 snare drum has an attractive tight grain pattern with a nice warm hue that is showcased with Black Candy Sunburst. Caught somewhere between mahogany and walnut in terms of density, this shell exudes articulation, warmth, and presence that is not found in your standard production drum offerings. 

As with most Craviotto drums, tuning is easy and won't take you long to find your new happy place. Complemented with matching cherry reinforcing rings and 45-degree bearing edges, this snare drum has all the makings of a "modern vintage" sound.  We loved the dynamics the 45-degree edges offered whether you played at low or high volume levels. Notes are crisp and precise from the center all the way out to the edges. 

Since their inception in 1990, Craviotto drums have been considered some of the most sought-after instruments in the world. It is John Craviotto's master craftsmanship and commitment to quality that has set his work apart from all of the rest. Once you hit one of these incredible drums, you'll see why it's no wonder so many players go to Craviotto to find their sound. Discover it for yourself through our Try Before You Buy program today.
