NOTE: The drum shells pictured may or may not be the shell that you receive. Shells are cut from larger tubes and there is no guarantee that you will receive one of a particular grain etc. This is particularly true for “cover grade” shells. Please read the description carefully so you are informed of the item you are purchasing as there are no returns on drum shells.

Shells are cut to the depthat the time of purchase. NOTE: THE DEPTH OF YOUR SHELL MAY VARY BY 1/8” DUE TO THE WIDTH OF THE SAW BLADE.

This shell is considered "Covered Grade" appropriate for wrapped or opaque painted drum applications. 

This could mean several things: 

list of 3 items

1. The shell may have an outer ply that has an off color wood or grain pattern, mineral streaks, insect marks  or a manufacturing defect that is aesthetic

in nature.

2. Some of the above mentioned issues may be visible through clear or light colored stains or dyes. Therefore, we recommend these shells be wrapped or

painted solid/opaque colors. (Many companies use Covered Grade shells regularly for high volume shells or sets that are wrapped.)

3. The seam is within specification and filled but may not be completely closed.
