Here at Heirloom we've just finished up two snares featuring our new "Vintage Stave" shells that we'll be bringing to The Southern Drum Show. At 1/4" thick, these shells are far thinner than our standard shells and incorporate re-inforcement rings to help strengthen them. The two-ply shop made re-rings are available matched to the shell species or contrasted in any of our 11 shell species offered. The shells combine vintage style thin shell construction coupled with solid wood stave contruction resulting in a unique sound all to its own. Be sure to swing by the booth to check them out if you make to the show in Nashville.
