Stave Shell This type of shell is made by gluing angled staves of wood into a circle. This style of construction is very
reminiscent to that of a wine barrel. To finish, the shell is lathed or routed into a circle.

This technique provides phenomenal strength and rigidity while maintaining the tone and response of a solid wood
shell; also it can be used with any kind of exotic wood.

One of the most valuable qualities of a Stave drum shell comes from the vertical grain bearding edges which
conduct vibration and resonance and sound through the shell far better than any other shell configuration. This
method greatly improves the quality of wood in contact with the drum head as hundreds of square inches of glue
are eliminated from the process.

Another wonderful characteristic of a solid wood Stave shell is the extremely low "glue to wood" ratio. We all know
that glue is a dead component; it makes no sound at all. Solid wood allows us to lower the amount of glue used to
build a drum shell and raise the wood content resulting in a truer, richer, and more melodic sounding drum.
