Phattie Nesting Kit, 10″, 14″, 18″, with matching snare!

by Dennis
December 5th, 2011

There’s nothing quite like being able to cart your drumset from gig to gig in just one bag.  This kit is another great example of the quality and sound possible with our nesting drum sets.  Featuring a 10″x8″ rack tom, 14″x11″ floor tom, 18″x21″ bass drum and a matching 14″x5″ snare, this whole setup fits into one nice travel case.  The seams are expertly cut and feature a reinforcement ring that adds structural rigidity and keeps the sections of the drum in-round to each other.  The result is a big sound from a little package.  Custom features on this kit include the Modern Mahogany satin lacquer, Tear-Drop style lugs, DW Rail mount, and the adjustable latches on the nesting drums.  Check it out:

Nested kits travel with each drum in a Protection Racket soft case.  Photo below shows them without cases, just to illustrate how it works.  I don’t recommend carting them around town like this, would be a little rough on the beautiful finish:Nesting Drum Set - Phattie

Nesting drum set with inlaid wood hoops

November 3rd, 2011

Nesting kits are great for the drummer on the move.  Easy to pack and port around, each nesting kit we build can be transported in a single case.  This Phattie nesting kit features a 10″x8″ rack tom, 14″x11″ nesting floor tom, 18″x20″ nesting bass drum and a matching 14″x5″ snare.  Each drum includes a soft case that slides smoothly inside the next drum.  10″ fits smoothly into the 14″ floor tom, and the floor tom and snare both fit cleanly inside the 18″ bass.  Beautiful inlaid wood hoops and a modern mahogany satin lacquer prove that nesting kits don’t have to be just utilitarian, they can be beautiful as well.  Check it out:

14″x5″ Sounds Like Art Dragon in Steel Blue

by Dennis
June 13th, 2011

The 14″x5″ Dragon Snare is a fresh new size for 2011.  This is the first one to leave the shop featuring 2.3mm hoops and the sound was spot-on, nice and crisp with beefy rim shots.  The finish is a steel-blue stain with high gloss lacquer that really pulls out the detail of the carving and contrasts well with the black hardware.  Check it out:

14″x5″ Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare

by Dennis
May 18th, 2011

The 14″x5″ is a recent addition to the Sounds Like Art lineup of Dragon snares.  The shallow depth and thick shell gives this model some serious attack and cutting power.  The finish on this one is the unique Scorched Maple satin lacquer with matching wood hoops.  Sounds Like Art = beautiful works of art meant to be wailed on!  Check it out:

80% Copper + 20% Zinc + 14″x5″ = One great little snare

by Dennis
June 10th, 2010

This is a one-off custom snare recently wrapped up for Chris Thompson with the Eli Young Band.  He’s been touring with a Phattie 14″x6.5″ Black Brass snare for the last year, and was ready for something with a little more bite to it.  This drum fit the bill perfectly!  The shell is 14″x5″ and 1/16″ thick with rounded bearing edges.  It’s tricked out with a Dunnett R2 Throw-off that features a quick release feature for quick head changes without having to take off the snare wires.  Ten solid-brass tube lugs and the heavy die-cast hoops give this drum a bite that the deeper and thinner 14″x6.5″ just didn’t have.  Along with the great sound it turned out to be quite the head turner, check it out:
