This 1-ply Steam Bent snare was made from a single piece of solid walnut. With custom fully rounded edges and the 8″ depth, it’s got an old-school fat sound that’s still incredibly crisp at the lower volumes. I’m a big fan of the steam-bent shells, as they tend to be very sensitive and make great full-bodied snares. This particular one featured a semi-gloss oil based finish, solid brass tube lugs, the Dunnett R4 MicRo strainer and Puresound wires. Check it out:
This is a sweet setup we put together for Dave Irish last year, a killer drummer out of Austin. It’s a Phattie Hybrid Series with 8″x7″, 10″x7″, and 13″x8″ suspended toms, a 16″x16″ floor, and a thumping 22″x20″. The maple sections are finished in Blue Glass Glitter with Clear Acrylic Centers, Black Hardware, and a custom bass head with matching logo and “blue-chrome” Holz ring.
All our paint work is done in-house, and this flawless kit is a great example of what’s possible in the custom shop. The rack tom sizes are 10″x7″, 12″x7.5″, and 13″x8″, with 16″x15″ and 18″x16″ floor toms. The bass is a 24″x20″ cannon, and a custom painted 14″x7″ Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare rounds out the kit. The shells are all Keller VSS Maple, 6-ply toms & an 8-ply bass. The paint work features a transparent red kandy on the stripes and logos that lets the grain show through, with an ultra high gloss clear coat on top. The result is a kit that is just as rock’n'roll as it is classy, and qualifies for our Best of the Best gallery category.
