Hand-crafted from select plies North American Hard Rock maple at the California Custom Shop, the 6-ply shells utilize slightly thicker 1/32” veneers, and are fitted with 6-ply reinforcement hoops offering a resonant, yet focused tonality.
Drum Designer and Executive Vice President, John Good comments, “Our earliest artists still talk about these drums. Now we can offer them to a new generation. Feels strange to attach the work “vintage” to what we do, but it’s true! Santa Monica shells work for just about any playing situation, it’s a Swiss army knife of a shell”.

Available in any Custom Shop finish and drum hardware color option.
