Walnut
Walnut has a lower, fuller sound, and it still stays focused and clean.
We make the Walnut series shells from 7 plies of walnut, 5.6 mm in total. Walnut is lighter than bubinga (around 600 kg per cubic metre, bubinga around 890), and it sounds lower and warmer than maple.
The density and warm colour of walnut look great under natural wax or oil, but you can pick any finish from our list, lacquer or brush painting included.

How we build the Model 1
Every drum is made by hand, in our workshop in Gdynia.
- A 2 × 45° bearing edge, routed, polished and waxed, ultra sharp on every drum, the bass drum included. The head sits on the flat part, so the drum tunes up easily, low tunings included, and stays in tune.
- Holes drilled to within 0.2 mm. We draw the hole layout in QCAD, so the tension rods go in straight and do not rub against the hoop.
- Tube lugs barely touch the shell, so the drum resonates freely. Long tension rods with a metal and a nylon washer hold the tuning.
- The tom mounts do not go through the shell.
- The bass drum claws are die-cast and have rubber pads, and the bass drum spurs are sturdy, with a retractable spike.
- Inside every drum there is a sticker with the owner's full name, and a single coat of oil and wax on the inside is included in the price.
