Johnny Craviotto’s first 4x14 snare drum, built in1995. From his personal collection. Net proceeds go to his family.

As stated above, the net proceeds from this drum will go to Johnny’s family. This is truly a historic drum. The first 4x14. Solid maple shell.

Back when this drum was made, Johnny was using a variety of different strainers and rims, and the tube lugs were the standard available at the time. This drum was made in 1995, and Johnny didn’t formally start the Craviotto Drum Company until 2004, which was when he dialed in the new features such as the diamond foot tube lugs design, and he migrated over to the Nickelworks strainer, which was state of the art before Trick developed the GS007, which Johnny migrated to, and which we still use today. The box pictured is also included since this was how Johnny stored this drum. It is part of the history. $4500. Contact Steve by text at 630-865-6849 or by email at vintagedrums@aol.com
