About StaVent Drums: What makes Stavent Drums different is the way the drum is created ... ... using the "stave design." Most mass-produced drums are primarily made from a two- or three- ply design of wood, that is then bent and shaped with glue. They usually have a bottom head, where a hole is drilled on the side to allow for the energy to expel when the head is struck. The thing that most distorts the sound from a drum is the amount of glue used in this process. With Stavent Custom Drums every piece of wood is angled at a certain degree which creates "air compression vents". This allows sound/compression to filter out through specific points inside the drum, not just channeled to an air vent hole like the traditional drum. This produces a "true sound" with the shell being constructed of up to 1" thick pure wood. Stavent Custom Drums can custom build drum sets out of any type of wood ... ... thickness, depth and color. You pick the hardware and choose the color — and we'll bring it to life! There are no limits with Stavent Custom Drums. These drumsets are custom built for YOU to YOUR specifications.
