I love all 4 of my Oriollos, although the cast drums get more use these days.

I have a cast brass 15x6.5, spun copper 15x5.5, spun brass 14x6.5, and a spun copper 14x5. The cast brass is my favorite, it’s not a snare drum, it’s a SNARE DRUM. 15” cast drums are an undiscovered treasure, IMHO

3 of them I bought used from sellers in the US. The one I bought new was about 6 years ago, so the customs process may be longer now. It took about 2 weeks to clear customs for my Oriollo drum

My Oriollo’s direct from Serbia took roughly 10 days to reach Canada from the shipping date and another 2-3 days to arrive.

I think customs got a lot more intense in the US after 9/11. The stakes are just higher here, everyone is gunning for us all the time.

I love watching the way they make the spun drums.

I’m not sure it’s clear in the video, but copper and copper alloys like brass/bronze are MUCH more time-consuming to work with than steel or aluminum. Copper work-hardens and gets brittle VERY easily, and then breaks. It has to be reheated at least once during the spinning process to soften it again, maybe more than once.

Arrived 2 days ago. WOW WOW WOW! Incredible rich clean tones down and up tuning. No doubt Vukan’s spinning process allows the shell to cleanly speak. Such body and volume when needed. And with his own “classic” snare wires, just WOW again!

Come man, we need some pics! And if you're up for it, maybe a review since you've had it for a month now.
