Since the birth of the modern drum kit, drum makers have come to rely on North American Maple to create a perfect, all-around drum sound. At Barton Drums we have endeavored to build a shell with a perfectly balanced tone that is both practical and versatile. These unrivaled maple shells are made from 100% North American Maple—because it’s proven, all-around “great” drum sound.

Shells that are round, tight and flawlessly finished. Thicker Snare and bass drum shells provide an optimal snare drum and powerful bass drum sound.
