This set of Phattie Drums dates from around early 2004. Featuring a beautiful Red Onyx finish over classic sizes, Slingerland lugs and a DW Rail Mount really complete the vintage vibe. The toms are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 16″x16″, with a matching 20″x14″ bass and 14″x6.5″ snare. It’s kits like this that eventually grew into the Black Label concept that we now offer. Check it out:
This custom Cocktail Kit recently left for a new home in the U.K., and was special ordered without the snare and with a larger tom. The drummer is planning to use an existing 14″ snare with this kit, hence the larger 12″ tom to compliment the overall larger sound. The main drum is our standard 16″x24″, with the same mounting hardware found on our Deluxe Cocktail Kits. The finish is a stunning Tangerine Glass Glitter, and looks extra classy with the Radio King style lugs, check it out:
This week we had the opportunity to supply some cool prototypes to Chris Thompson of the Eli Young Band. He’s got some cool new snares to try out on the road…but more on those next week! Today’s Friday Flashback is the first kit we built for the Eli Young Band sometime in early 2006. This kit featured a 12″ rack tom, 14″ and 16″ hanging floor toms, and a deep 22″ bass. The finish is a red glass glitter with silver sparkle stars, and custom silver metallic/sparkle powder coating that shimmered under the lights. This was the first of many cool kits we’ve built for them so far, check it out:
Today’s kit features a 12″x8″ rack tom, 15″x15″ floor tom, 20″x20″ bass drum, with a matching 14″x7″ snare. The finish is a deep Emerald Green satin lacquer that looks perfect against the black hardware. The snare features a Dunnett R-Class strainer and the bass has a custom Phattie Girl logo head. Sometimes a simple finish combined with the right hardware color is all you need, check it out:
