So with the help of the master boat builder, Johnny began making one-ply drum shells.

[17] Craviotto developed a steam-bending technique which led to a partnership with Don Lombardi of DW Drums in 1993.

[19] Around 1999, Craviotto started a new venture, which was to build drums from ancient, old growth wood recovered from sunken timber.

He launched a limited-edition series of solid-ply drums made from 600-year-old wood rescued from the bottom of Lake Superior.

In 2021, Craviotto announced the company's first subsidiary brand of ply-wood shells, Diamond Drums.

These drums feature Craviotto's Maple-Ply Shells, Gold Tone Interior Sealer, Straight-Shot Edges, Marquise Lugs, and Stick-Saver Hoops.

In Q2 of 2022, David Victor (Craviotto VP of Marketing, Sales, Production, Web Design, Product Design, and Customer Service) confirmed through a Craviotto Owner Facebook group that Bacco had decided to leave the company.
