Barton “Essential Beech” Drum Kits

Our 100% European Beech drum kits have a sound that has to be heard to be believed.

Striking an exquisite  balance between the warmth of maple and the punch of birch, beech offers more power and clarity —with a slightly warmer tone, than either. It’s a perfect wood for making drums.

The 100%, 7-ply, 6mm, European Beech shells have perfectly “hand cut” (45° degree inner/rounded outer) bearing edges and sport three distinct veneer-hardwood finishes:

• Rosewood
• Ebony
• Zebrano

Sizes for this configuration are:

• 13X8 (even more perfect)
• 16X14 (optimal decay)
• 22X14 (time tested)

Color: Rosewood “Bartwood” Veneer

IMPORTANT: No snare drums or stands are included in this sale.

Beefy, vintage, spring loaded, bread and butter lugs are standard as are 2.3mm hoops, Barton clamp style brackets and Evans import drum heads.

If you’ve been searching for a perfect drum kit—one that is going to shine on the stage and perform amazingly  in the studio, then look no further. And the looks? No question. The fit and finish of these drums is second to none.

How can we say this? Because its true. Because we know drums and these are works of art.

Barton is the company that puts drummers first. It’s our pledge to you.
