African Padauk

Description

An imported hardwood from Africa known for its hardness and bold color. Padauk’s heartwood can range from bright orange to a deep rich blood-red. Usually very straight grained especially when quartered and shows almost iridescent qualities when finished. Loud and bright, its sound is almost a cross between a metal and wood shell. Finshes beautifully and sounds fantastic. Padauk is becoming a real Pelfrey Drum Works favorite.

Make sure you listen to Stone Carter demoing a 7 x 14 Padauk Pelfrey Drum Works Snare to here how it can really cut through the mix.
