1. 2024 Chicago Drum Show

Don't miss this year's Chicago Drum Show. May 18-19, but before that, we're having an open house at my Glendale Heights shop from 6-9 pm on Friday 5/17. We will have light food and refreshments and will debut the new Craviotto Museum, housed in our new 1000sf space dedicated to Johnny and his craft.

CRAVIOTTO MUSEUM

 

The Museum features over 50 snares and 15 sets, as well as examples of Johnny's early work in the 80s-90s, and information about the solid shell drum building process.

The sets include such rarities as:

- Drum set #1 13/16/22/5.5

- Drum set #2, made specifically for Steve, 12/14/18/5.5

- Set #1000, which is 13/16/18/22/6.5 and the only set made from solid Timeless Timber Birch, and many more.

The snare drums include Steve's full collection of the rarest Craviotto snares, including Timeless Timber as well as Craviotto/AK drums and more.

ITEMS FOR SALE

Below is just a small list of item that we will have for sale, but note that most of these will NOT be at the booth at the show. Stop in and see them on 5/17. You can also view them at the shop throughout the show as well, by appointment.
