Making their debut at the London Drum Show 2016, SIA handcrafted drums will be showing off their beautiful array of solid stave shells, made with a variety of woods, including Jarrah, Black Heart, Blackbutt, She Oak and Tasmanian Myrtle. Crafted by drum builder Sia Seysan in Australia and imported through Devonish drum tutor Matt Parr, the shells ship with Evans heads tops and bottoms and even come with a label declaring their own date of birth.
Founded by Matija in 2012 under the intention of producing solid-wood custom drums,MANIC drum has grown into one of the most innovative companies in its field, experimenting with shell construction in order to achieve the best sound possible. “We have listened to drummers and their desires. We’ve listened to our intuition too” – Matija, MANIC drum founder.
Understanding the needs of a drummer wanting to quickly change heads, MANIC have developed unique hardware for the “next generation”, as can be seen in the photos to the right.
