Our 4" deep shell is made of solid single ply 5/16" hardwood, steam bent and scarf jointed, and features a precision beveled bearing edge.
The edge of the head is secured into an exterior groove, with brass tacks in a wood flesh hoop. We designed this self-locking system to minimize the tendency of the head to pull away from the shell. This drum is available with a high quality goatskin head or a REMO synthetic head.
Our patented internal tuning technology preserves the traditional appearance of the instrument and allows the player to maintain a complete range of motion, unencumbered by external hardware. Tension on the head is adjusted by the action of an internal, light-weight, moveable bearing member. A T-grip Allen wrench and tuning instructions are included.
Smooth, round dowels mounted about 2" from the head, firmly secured to prevent rattling, form the interior crosspiece handles.
A hand rubbed, natural finish accentuates the inherent beauty of the wood
A Cooperman signature padded soft case is included with each drum.

of flexibility. Excellent for mic’ing and recording,

from crisp high notes to punchy bass tones, bring this
instrument into the mix without being abrasive. The
drum can be customized in a variety of ways upon request;
custom orders may be differently priced.
