Craviotto Custom Shop 24" x 18" Maple Bass Drum in Satin Oil Finish

Decades of Johnny Craviotto's know how as a master drum builder have gone into the construction of this masterpiece as his legacy lives on. Only the highest graded maple boards were used in the steam bending process that produced these perfect shells. Created by hand, the bearing edges and inlays are formed as the craftsman responsible lays his hands on each shell on average around 20,000 times before the final stage. At the end of the process the finish is applied and in the case of this drum, it is the gorgeous customary Craviotto natural oil finish.

When it comes to your Craviotto drum, there is four bearing edges to choose from; 45-Degree, 30-Degree (Vintage), Baseball Bat (Rounded), or Hybrid (Baseball Bat and 45-Degree).

45-Degree	30-Degree (Vintage)	Baseball Bat (Rounded)	Hybrid (45-Degree and Baseball Bat)
Drum makers nowadays prefer this option as their top choice. It is famous for its sharpness, creating a lively sound with lots of ring, sustain, and harmonics. The drum's edge enables it to produce a distinct and bell-like tone, as it has minimal contact with the drum shell, allowing for unrestricted resonance without any unnecessary muffling.	Referred to as the vintage edge, this feature was commonly found on drums starting from the 1930s. The rounded-over profile of this edge is thicker than the 45 degree bearing edge, offering more wood on the edge. This design allows for increased drumhead contact with the solid drum shell, creating a rounder and more focused sound with controlled harmonics and excess ring.	Created by Johnny Craviotto This special edge is a nod to the rounded, fat bearing edges found on vintage American drums. Drummers aiming to achieve warm tom and resonant bass drum sounds from the 1960’s era will find the Baseball Bat Edge to be the perfect choice. If you're after a punchy and articulate sound, the Baseball Bat Edge is the way to go.	Master Craftsman Saul Rocha discovered the ideal hybrid bearing edge by blending elements from a baseball bat and a 45-degree angle. The innovative edge he created works seamlessly with the inside collar of the drum head, making tuning easier while maintaining a wide tuning range and producing a fuller sound. By rounding the outside to match the drum head's shape and cutting the inside edge at a 45-degree angle from the apex, Rocha achieved a perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
