Provenance
The tree behind this drum.
Jarrah · Ruby red
Eucalyptus marginata
The mighty Jarrah – famous worldwide for its ruby hues. Dark, rich and throaty in the low register; an ear-splitting, almost metallic crack up top.
No shortcuts
Years in the making.
01 – Salvage
The log is rescued
Salvaged, never felled – recorded with its GPS coordinates before the first cut.
02 – Season
The wood learns patience
At least three years of natural air drying – sometimes far longer. Just time and patience.
03 – Carve
The shell emerges whole
Hollowed from the very fibres of the tree – nothing between the tree and the tone.
One of one, made for you
This drum is gone.
Its wood isn’t.
