　　Octaboom drums are made up of hardwood segments, pieced together to form a polygon shell.

　　Typically the shells are 2-3 inches greater than the head size.

　　This allows the sound wave to expand in a larger space than the head produces.

　　Most are hexagon (6 segments), octagon (8 segments), and decagon (10 segments).

　　Octaboom drums are individually made by hand.

　　All components including lumber are from American vendors.

　　Even the grade 8 hex cap tension rods are American threads and lengths.

　　Replacing any of the tension rods, Allen wrench (tune key), or T-nuts can be as easy as going to the nearest hardware store.

　　Hardwood caps hold the bearing edges and the T-nuts that replace lugs.

　　Most caps are Baltic birch, cross-laminated, super strong, and very resonant.

　　They are the workhorse of the drum, accommodating tension rods, mounts, snare throw-offs and butts without interfering with the shell or the head.

　　The bearing edges, typically Keller maple shells, are reinforced with the same wood as the shell.

　　The fatter edges have more contact with the cap, and usually rise 1 - 1 " above the cap.

　　The shell and the head have no restrictions of pinching or compressing caused by lugs and mounts.

　　Most shells are cut from the same board, varying in thickness from " to ".

　　Some kits are made entirely from the same tree.

　　After planing and sanding, the wood is oiled inside and out, and unlike paint, the oil hardens in the wood, not on top of the wood, increasing resonance.

　　Octabooms are chameleon-like in that they can produce amazing tone ranges from the same drum.

　　Changing tension and drum head thickness can produce high and low frequencies.

　　The lower fat tones are more easily obtained due to the oversized drum shell.
