2024 Summit Drums Purpleheart 4in Samples

Bird’s-Eye Purpleheart ...

You don’t see many steam-bent Purpleheart drums because the wood is so dense and fibrous, it tends to splinter when bent. Master builder Gary Posey designed a way to bend Purpleheart and when he showed us the bird’s-eye planks he acquired, we immediately commissioned a custom snare. Featuring 1/4” solid steam-bent Purpleheart in a hand-rubbed bee’s wax finish, this drum sounds as good as it looks. It also has 1/4” solid hard maple reinforcing rings that give it that vintage tone, but the modern hardware provides plenty of attack and definition. Truly one-of-a- kind, the bright attack from the die-cast hoops and piccolo size, make this drum among our favorites.
