Leopardwood Drum Set

Prestige Series drums represent the flagship of our company. Leopardwood is one of six wood species that is used in this product line.

This species of exotic woods is very stunning in appearance. The “fleck” figuring exhibited in Leopardwood is produced by performing a radial cut of the log that reveals the spotted-like texture. Leopardwood is an exotic wood species that we have identified as an exceptional tone-wood.

The porosity and weight of this wood lends itself very well to our stave designed drums. The result is a very warm, full and rich, clean resonance. Leopardwood combines all the best warm, dark qualities of Cherry and Mahogany with the clean attack and roundness of Maple.

Curly Black Cherry One-Ply Drum Set

Vintage Classic Series drums are a new offering from Artisan Drumworks. One ply shells have been manufactured for many years and have proven to be favorites among many professional players. These drums are created from solid planks of wood, then steam bent, and placed in a form for a curing period. After the cure-cycle is complete, the shells are lathed to our precise specifications and reinforcement rings are added. Shells are then sanded, finished, and finally drilled for hardware. Several finishing options and other custom options are available. Bearing edges are also cut and profiled per customer request to fine-tune to your specific tone preference.

Vintage Classics are available in a variety of domestic and exotic wood species and are backed by our Lifetime Warranty. We are very pleased to offer these exquisite drums at a reasonable price point.

African Bubinga Kit

African Bubinga, otherwise known as African Rosewood, originates from Tropical West Africa, Cameroon, and Gabon. Bubinga is a hard, heavy wood with characteristics similar to rosewoods. Color and density varies by species, but the heartwood is typically medium reddish brown or purplish brown with darker veining, often exhibiting dramatically chatoyant “bees-wing” mottle, such as exists in the bass drum pictured above.

This wood species is gaining a great measure of popularity in drum manufacture because of it’s tonal properties as well as it’s sheer beauty. More of our snare drums and drum sets are crafted from this species than any other species we offer. For snare drums and drum sets, African Bubinga has all the right proportions of frequency spectrums and resonance to create one of the finest drums you will ever play.

Tonal Properties: deep, pronounced lows, articulate high mids, excellent projection.

2010 Limited Edition Bocote Drum Set

We are excited to introduce this year’s limited production drum set. This five piece set is handcrafted from solid Bocote. Cordia alliodora, the botanical reference, originates in Central America. Bocote (ba-co-tay) is often referred to as Mexican Rosewood and possesses much of the same qualities as Honduran Rosewood: rich lows, crisp attack, and a very definable fundamental note.

The drum set features our Artisan Isolation Mounting system (A.I.M.) which solidly supports the drum with no additional drilled holes into the shell. A.I.M. ties into two top lugs and uses a bump stop against the lower shell for lateral support. The A.I.M. system also allows for quick changes of drum heads on the stand and blends aesthetically with the drums. Artisan Drumworks solid, brushed brass single point lugs on toms and bass drum, single point tube lugs on snare, Trick 3-way strainer, Puresound snare wires, die-cast hoops, oil and wax finish, and Remo heads cap it off.

Your Limited Edition Bocote drum set will ship in legendary Humes & Berg Enduro Pro lined cases and are backed by our lifetime warranty. Production is limited to ten (10) drum sets.
