Vintage Shells TreeHouse offers drums made from a special recipe of woods combined to sound a look great! Two plies of African Mahogany as the inner and outer bread of this shell sandwich has as the meat two plies of Poplar. Add a bit of maple reinforcing rings in the shells and you have the recipe of a great-sounding drum shell! Covered or oiled-n-waxed, vintage drums are comparatively warmer and mellower sounding than their all-maple companions yet look great and are always classy. These shells run a little higher in price than plied maple and many sizes are available. Contact Derek for more information on available configurations.
