PA Lovetone – True Solid Drums PA Lovetone – True Solid Drums

The catalogue

Fourteen trees.
Fourteen drums. No repeats.

Every True Solid build to date – each hollowed from a single log, serial-numbered and photographed before finding its drummer. Most are commissioned before they exist – and right now, two finished drums are ready and waiting.

Available now

Finished, tuned and looking for a drummer.

Two drums are ready to go today – no seasoning years to wait out. Each is sold the same way as a commission: get in touch with Paul first, and he’ll take it from there.

Sold doesn’t mean gone.

Every drum here lives with its owner now – but its wood stack doesn’t end there. Tell Paul which one speaks to you and he’ll carve a sibling from the same species, to your size and finish. Start a commission →

“The magic on the walls of these shells could not have been designed by human kind. It is nature at its finest.”
Paul Anthony Loveridge – founder & drumsmith
