Reserve your Christmas Conquistador today!

Ancient Tree Drums 352- 575-3183 [email protected]

Each drum is appointed with the most select hardware available and designed to take advantage of this wonderful wood. Trick throw-off, aluminum lugs, custom milled from Aero-space alloys and PureSound snares.

Find out how you can acquire one of these beautiful hand crafted musical instruments.

We hand-craft our solid-wood drums, one drum at a time, from the finest, rarest, river reclaimed lumber.

THE CONQUISTADOR is a 14" x 6" hand-made stave, snare drum, crafted from the select, first growth, river reclaimed heart-pine found in the rivers and swamps of the Southeastern United States.

�e trees are estimated to be 300 to 400 years old when harvested around 150 years ago. After cutting the trees, the loggers would float the logs down-stream to a saw mill. �e logs that were heavy with heart-wood sank and were left behind.

Submerged in icy cold, spring fed waters for over a century and a half, not only preserved the wood but changed the density of the wood giving these drums their unique, rich tonal texture.
