Phattie Custom Shop Kit with White Pearl Inlays

by Dennis
October 24th, 2011

Another beautiful execution of our Perfect Brown satin lacquer, a beautiful shade of walnut that looks perfect on any drum.  This kit features a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom and a 24″x16″ bass drum.  Custom touches include laser engraved maple Phattie badges, white pearl inlays centered below the resonant lugs, and our Victorian shield logo on a Fiberskyn head.  In the words of the new owner:

“The drums got here just like you said and they are great! I took everything out and hit each piece seperately and everything sounded amazing. The toms were so big and punchy and didn’t need any muffling at all which is really hard to come by. The bass was HUGE and sounded like it was mic’ed and EQ’ed perfectly. The perfect brown finish, the white pearl inlays, and the wood badges go perfect together. Definitely some of the best work, I couldn’t ask for a better kit. Can’t wait to use this at my next show! Thanks so much!”

Chris Thompson gets a new set of Phatties for the road…

August 1st, 2011

With the release of their new album Life At Best only a few weeks away, Chris of the Eli Young Band recently commissioned this sweet new touring rig.  Features include a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom and 24″x14″ bass drum.  The finish is a custom mixed baby blue satin lacquer with our “perfect brown” satin lacquer wood hoops.  The hardware features a brushed-satin finish and the wooden badges feature the band logo and text engraved, a distressed “worn leather” style stain, and hand painted logo.  An air-brushed Fiberskyn head and vintage style T-rods and claws bring a touch of vintage to the bass drum, and the rope is the final touch that has become a sharp theme on Chris’ killer kits.   Beautiful kit that looks great on stage, check it out:

Avett Brothers ring in the new year on their new Black Labels

by Dennis
January 3rd, 2011

Happy New Year! Lets kick it off with some exciting news: The Avett Brothers took delivery of their new kit just in time for the sold-out New Years Eve show in Asheville, and are now rockin’ an awesome set of Black Label drums. A heavy vintage vibe was desired from this setup, both to compliment the sound and the aesthetics of their style. The result is a Black Label kit featuring 13″x9″ and 16″x16″ wood-hooped toms, a 22″x14″ bass, and a 14″x6.5″ snare. Finish is a custom mixed blend of reds and browns to create a very old-school mahogany, and the hoops have a deep amber and tobacco mix on them to give that aged vibe. Lugs are Radio King reproductions with a brushed satin nickel style finish, and coated heads were used top and bottom to get that really warm old-school sound. Even the Silver Glass Glitter inlay on the bass hoops was pre-aged and features no gloss, a perfect match to the hardware and hoops.

There couldn’t be a better way to kick off the New Year, so say hello to the Avett Brothers, Jacob Edwards on drums, on their new Black Label setup:

True-Gold glass gliter inlays in a perfect brown satin…

by Dennis
December 2nd, 2010

This rockin’ set of Phatties featured a unique finish that is subtle but still head turning.  The brown satin lacquer has two stripes of True Gold glass glitter inlaid directly under the tube lugs, the contrast looks great against the black chrome hardware all around.  The shells and specs are standard Phattie Classic series, featuring a 13″x9″ rack tom with optimount, 16″x16″ floor tom, and 24″x18″ bass.   A Fiberskyn head on the bass really pulls the look together on this one, check it out:
