Wormy Chestnut (Eucalyptus obliqua/sieberi/fastigata) is a combination of several Eucalypt species including Messmate. This specific example is very local to us having been harvested in our region Gippsland. Wormy Chestnut features a unique rustic aesthetic with bold black squiggly markings created by the Ambrosia beetle that weaved its tracks through the tree. At approximately 800kg/m3 density this is considered a fairly hard timber.

Purchase a drum in this material for mid to high range tunings. Tuned at its lowest, snares in this material can produce a meaty punch with a pure underlying pitch particularly with dampening assistance. As the drum is tuned up, it should retain its great body with the addition of a dry throaty crack and musical ping.

Limited timber: We have previously produced two full kits from this material, as well as several snare drums. There is now enough remaining to produce x2 snare drums.

Price: Add $150 to the drum size and model of your choice.
