This 16x16 Civil War-era reproduction drum features a wooden shell that produces a bold, booming tone with deep resonance—ideal for battlefield signals and ceremonial use. 

Its larger size allows for greater low-end presence and sustained body, while gut snares and traditionally mounted calfskin heads provide a warm, organic snap true to the period. 

The hand-finished shell reveals the rich grain and authentic craftsmanship of the era. Powerful in both sound and appearance, it’s perfect for reenactments, parades, or collectors. 

This drum brings the thunder and tradition of the Civil War to life in every strike.
