Gary Jackson of The Movement, talks about his Black Label kit…

by Dennis
January 25th, 2010

Gary has been rockin’ his Black Label drums on tour for about six months now.  Here he lays down some nice beats at the Orange Peel for us.  Recorded on a Zoom Q3 with no effects or post-processing, they sound great:

New Black Label snare for The Movement

by Dennis
January 25th, 2010

Gary Jackson of The Movement just picked up his 14″x5.5″ Black Label work-horse snare while they were stopped over in Asheville.  This is the standard “work horse” model featuring a 100% maple shell, 8 Radio King style lugs, 2.3mm hoops, wrapped finish, and the Dunnett R-Class strainer.  Tunes up very nice, check out our youtube link to the left for some clips of this snare in action, and check out TheMovementVibe.com to hear more beats from Gary and his Black Label drums.

A little blast from the past…

by Dennis
January 22nd, 2010

Been feeling a little nostalgic this week, having crossed the 10-years-in-business threshold recently.  So for today’s good times, here’s a shot of my first kit I bought myself back in the day.  I believe they originated in the factory that eventually became Pearl.  Japanese imports with Slingerland knock-off hardware, and a very faded Red Glass Glitter finish.  12″x8″, 16″x16″, 20″X14″, and a 14″x5.5″ snare.  Found them in a classified ad from a pawn shop around 15 years ago, and to this day they still get a little stick time.

Vintage style “Big Band” kit, with the HCL bass system installed…

by Dennis
January 20th, 2010

We first began producing the HCL bass system in early 2008 with great results and positive reviews from drummers near and far.  The HCL system is based on the Haskell theory of sound waves, providing a drum that acts as both a small bass drum and a large woofer, and is tuned for optimal low-end response.  The 20″ Batter head on the 28″ bass is positioned to provide the same pedal feel and response as a 22″ bass drum.  To learn more about the system visit the Innovations page at PhattieDrums.com by clicking here.

This kit was created to capture the feel of a Big Band kit from the era when Radio Kings and Rolling Bombers were the drums of choice.  The toms are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 16″x16″, each with inlayed wood hoops.  The bass is a 28″ HCL system, and the snare 14″x7″ with single-flanged hoops.  Pre-Aged White Pearl and Radio King lugs round out the package for an exceptionally classy setup.

Phattie Hybrid Set, Clear Acrylic & White Marine Pearl

by Dennis
January 19th, 2010

This classy setup features a 12″x8″ rack tom, 14″x12″ floor tom, and 22″x20″ bass.  The drums feature maple bearing edges top and bottom, with 1/4″ acrylic through the centers.  Perfect blend of warmth from the maple and punch from the acrylic centers, for a set that captures the best of both worlds.
