That was based on a recording I did with the drum in 2008. I’ve always thought this drum was slightly more dry sounding than regular maple drums but that might just be me. The hardware is all 24k gold plated and the engraving was done by John Aldridge. It was made in 2006 from what I was told was one of the last – and more densely figured (meaning the wood is more visually appealing) – boards that Johnny had left. This month’s drum, however, is a 1 of 1, which is why is that much cooler and a bit more valuable. That was one of a run of about 200 drums worldwide. More recently, I understand the term has been slightly appropriated by DW and has also been used to describe other woods of a similar historical background.Īnyway, that drum twenty years ago was one of the Timeless Timbers built by Johnny Craviotto and marketed by DW. You can find out a bit more about the wood here –. ’ Timeless Timber’ refers to the wood/sunken logs found in the early 1990s in the depths of Lake Superior (and the wider Great Lakes area) which had been cut down in the 1800s and been submerged in the cold water for over 100 years. Admittedly, I took a small bank loan to buy it and it wasn’t cheap, but I finally had one of my bucket list drums. Roll on some seven years and I managed to buy this specific drum from Steve Maxwell in Chicago. I wanted a Timeless Timber drum from that point onwards. ![]() It was in my local drum shop about twenty years ago, in a glass case opposite the counter. Ok, it wasn’t this snare, but was one very much like it, although dare I say it, this one is better looking and more collectible. The first drum I ever saw and thought, ‘if I ever had the money…’ was a Craviotto Timeless Timber snare. ![]()
