So while you practice to become your best, our drums will bring out the very best in your performance!
USING ONLY THE FINEST WOODS
To create the finest instruments, the most important thing is to start with the highest quality hand selected boards we can find. We constantly search suppliers for that prize batch. From there we can start precisley crafting whilst keeping the finished product in mind every step of the way. All our woods are selected from sustainable sources that are constantly replenished, keeping those beautiful timbers available for future drummers & all to enjoy. Some of our drums are crafted from recycled timber when the opportunity arises. Not only is this great for the planet, but there's real sonic benefits too!
THE PERFECT SOUND
We make stave & steambent shells for a reason, sound quality! Stave shells feature unstressed vertical grain that efficiently transmits vibrations from the batter head to the reso head to offer the fullest shell tone. Steambent shells are stressed and respond to both direct & sympathetic resonance from the lightest input from the player. Both benefit from greatly reduced tone inhibiting glue and natural grain alignment. There's a lot more work involved in the creation of these shells compared to multiple ply shells, but the sonic benefits are huge. With stave & steambent shells from Guru Drumworks, you can really hear the character of the wood in the resolved sound. With a Guru Drumworks drum, the wood always takes center stage!
A selection of super accurately cut bearing edge profiles, choice of hoops (including our superb hand made segmented & steambent ply wood hoops), & range of hardware completes the special Guru Drumworks sound palate.
