Craviotto Drums is a drum kit manufacturing company, based in Watsonville, California.

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

History

Craviotto Drums founder and CEO, John “Johnny C” Craviotto was born to Italian-American parents (mother from Florence, father from Genoa) in San Francisco, CA. Johnny began playing drums at an early age and he started playing professionally as a teenager.

In the 1970s, a young Johnny Craviotto started off his musical career as a professional drummer playing with artists such as Arlo Guthrie, Ry Cooder, Moby Grape, Neil Young, and Buffy St. Marie. At this time, he had also become a collector of vintage drums and developed an interest in the work of early drum builders.

[12][13][14][15][16]

Early Drum Building

Craviotto had the opportunity around 1979-80 to work in a boatyard with a master boat builder. As an apprentice and helper he began applying this technique to drum shells. So with the help of the master boat builder, Johnny began making one-ply drum shells. By 1984-85, Craviotto teamed up with Billy Gibson, drummer of Huey Lewis & The News. They launched a drum company, Select Drum Company (later changed to “Solid”) Drum Company.

[17]

Craviotto developed a steam-bending technique which led to a partnership with Don Lombardi of DW Drums in 1993.[18] For about a decade beginning in the 1990s, John’s snare drums were available as part of Drum Workshop's catalogs.[19]

Around 1999, Johnny started a new venture, which was to build drums from ancient, old growth wood recovered from sunken timber. He launched a limited edition series of solid-ply drums made from 600 year old wood rescued from the bottom of Lake Superior. The drums were adorned with hoops engraved by engraver, John Aldridge – the “Lake Superior Timeless Timber series.” Several years later, these were followed up with the Lake Superior Timeless Timber birch series of drums.[20] followed by The Lake Superior snare drum (1999). The logs were found by divers, who were searching for a treasure, and they were blocked by these logs.
