Shown above are my handcrafted paddle tub bass models. These tubs are traditionally used in Bluegrass and Jug music. The bass on the left (Odessa Wheat) is made using a base drum with staff up riser made of cherry with all brass hardware; the drum shell and hoop are made of maple stained cherry. The tub on the right (Hawkins Wheat) is made using a traditional wash tub (#2or #3) with an oak staff up riser. Both tubs have brass plates with the model name and a smaller brass plate indicating the serial number of each model.
