Gregory Caputo is the latest touring drummer to join the Black Label family. As the man behind the Gregory Caputo Big Band, Classic Drummer magazine describes Greg as “a master drummer who speaks volumes in refined sensibilities and superb technique.” He’s also one of the nicest drummers we’ve had the opportunity to work with. Gregory brings a modern drive to classic big band style drumming, and has toured with Count Basie, Les Brown, Jimmy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and Harry James to name a few. Gregory will be touring on this Black Label set in Silver Glass Glitter which features a 12″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor, 22″x14″ bass, and a 14″x5″ snare. Custom touches include a single-post tom mount on the bass drum & heavy duty spurs. Check out more about Gregory Caputo Big Band by clicking here.

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.

This kit was originally built for the Nashville Vintage & Custom drum show last summer. It was a real hit at the show, with the Satin Lacquer finish really showing off the grain of the wood against the vintage Radio King style hardware. The sizes are 12″x8″ rack tom, 14″x14″ floor tom, 18″x14″ bass, and 14″x5.5″ snare, all to standard Black Label specs (8-ply maple shells, 30-degree bearing edges, diecast hoops, Radio King lugs, etc.). The addition of a Gibraltar rail mount and the t-handled bass drum tuning rods really pulled together the vintage vibe on this one, check it out:
