The 13" Olivewood Wenge Art Custom Solid Stave Snare Drum
Modeled after Seven Six Drum Company‘s 100th drum, “il Centesimo”, this is a 6×13” solid stave custom snare drum made from 1/2” thick 100% Olivewood solid staves with a 1” center section of “Crystal Wenge” staves, where I’ve sanded and utilized clearcoat in such a way that we have “crystal” deposits in various spots in the wenge section, similar to the original Crystal Wenge drum
It is made from Olivewood with a Wenge center and the overall design is a throwback to my Congo Square drum (designed in reverse tonalities) as a nod to New Orleans.
The lugs and snare throw-off and butt plate tensioner were built in collaboration with Valerio Carlini, of Treviso, Italy. He is the master craftsman at Mr Hyde Customs. The throw off has 3 positions, fully off, snare buzz, and snare tight. The butt plate has a tensioner with a secondary ring that locks the tension into place. I had a design in mind that mimicked the Olivewood colors and Wenge center section. Valerio built the intricate lugs and throw-off and then hand-painted each piece in a luminescent acrylic polyurethane that sparkles in the light. The lugs each have four brass face plates. On each of the plates, we have the initials “RLS” and a Christian cross because those are the initials of the man who commissioned this drum - he’s also a Christian music drummer. On the 4 plate of one of the lugs, we have the Mr Hyde Customs logo. He was a pleasure to work with and a true artist.
I also mimicked the shell design in the hoops, which were built by Jody Lutz at Stellar Drums. He’s also a master at what he does, and I love that the hoops smell like olives. The air vent is hidden under the throw off.
This drum has Remo heads and Puresound Super 30 snare wires.
*****this particular drum was built for a client, but I can build you something very similar with these custom lugs from Italy for $2675. You’d have full control over the design of the shell and lugs, or let me design it all.
Alternatively, you can have this drum built up as is but with your choice of any of my stock lugs and any of the throw-offs/butt plates on the other drums for the listed price of $1650
