12/15/20: IT'S HERE! Diamond by Craviotto. Proprietary maple ply shell drums designed by Sam Bacco and built in the USA at the Craviotto workshop in Nashville, TN. Johnny always wanted to expand the Craviotto line with a ply shell series and thanks to Sam, this completes Johnny's goal.

Craviotto Drums is proud to announce our latest creation, Diamond by Craviotto. The Diamond series is the culmination of ideas and concepts that Johnny and the entire Craviotto team worked on over many years. Those ideas were carried forward by Sam Bacco and the Craviotto team and the result is our new Diamond Series.
Johnny's love of solid shells is no secret, and his expertise in this field was second to none. However, Johnny was also a fan of excellent ply shells. He often spoke about the idea of bringing a ply shell solution into the Craviotto family, with the primary consideration being the sound of the shell of course.
The Diamond Series drums are designed to bring a "made by Craviotto" option to all players. The Diamond Series allows a drummer to enter the "Craviotto family" with a wonderful "made in the USA" drum set designed to meet very specific sonic goals, all at a price point that is very affordable. These great drums are made in Nashville, TN in the Craviotto shop and built by the Craviotto team.
Here at Craviotto, we see the Diamond Series as the culmination of another part of Johnny’s legacy. Come explore the Diamond Series and experience “ply shells perfected” (tm).
