Why Consider a Unibody?

Sound

A drum shell constructed from a single ply resonates more uniformly and produces a noticeable, fundamental pitch in the instrument. This fundamental has a pure, impressive tone and exceptional response - all the way from delicate whispers to rambunctious roars.

Manufacturing

We’re very discriminating when it comes to which shells make the cut. Besides sorting through lumber to find prime cuts, it may take several bends to get a proper shell, as cracks or defects may not present themselves until we’re well into the manufacturing process. With years of experience and fine tuning, every shell is made with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Beauty

Unibody drums represent a full and varied selection of lumber options, each with unique grains, colors, patterns and expression to fit both your artistic style and musical tastes. The aesthetic of a Unibody can be very influential, looking as exquisite as it sounds.
