2024 Summit Drums Purpleheart 7in 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 batter hoop combined with the control of the triple-flanged resonant hoop make this one of our favorite drums of all-time.
