Vaughncraft has been bending wood for over 30 years, initially with our world renowned tambourines. Through trial and error and advances in technology, VaughnCraft has continually developed the craft of steam-bending drum shells, and raised the bar of solid snare drums. 

An exciting development at VaughnCraft is the addition of drumset sizes to our solid shell offerings. We can now build custom-built solid drumset shells in almost any configuration, from a tiny 6 tom to a gargantuan 24 bass drum. All shells are of superior quality and, if necessary, the woods are bookmatched, meaning there is no need to hide seams with inlay or other decorative means. No matter the size, the tonal range and rich timbre of solid wood far surpasses that of the typical ply shell.

All shells come standard with maple reinforcement rings installed.
