Exclusive Beech Shell Pack from the Craviotto Craftsmen
This year Craviotto began experimenting with woods outside its wheelhouse, including hickory, Ambrosia maple, and, as featured here, beech wood. This special beech kit comes to Sweetwater in a doubly-exclusive Flat Black lacquer finish with cherry wood inlays. Each shell in this Fab-sized four-piece is handcrafted from a single piece of steam-bent beechwood for incredible resonance. Beech's inherent strength and rough grain texture give this kit its distinctive looks and round, cutting tone — similar to birch, but more robust in the low end. Craviotto's 45° bearing edges minimize contact between the wood and heads for modern sustain. Don't miss out on your chance to own this one-of-a-kind Craviotto kit. Orders yours through Sweetwater today.

Solid, one-piece beech shells
Even the best plywood shells succumb to added weight from glue and vibration loss between plies. That's why every shell in this Craviotto kit is built from a single piece of hand-selected premium beech wood, steam bent into place, for a look and sound that will call you back throughout your career.
Modern 45° bearing edges
45° bearing edges crown every shell in this Craviotto kit. These edges allow the heads to sustain to their maximum potential. The snare and bass are crisp and musical, and the toms ring like a bell.
