Today’s kit is a great blend of custom drums and classy touches. The finish is a deep Modern Mahogany satin lacquer with classy True Gold glass glitter inlays spaced perfectly under the resonant side lugs. The sizes include a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom, 24″x16″ bass drum, and matching 14″x7″ snare. The photos really do the talking on this one, check it out:
Pretty finishes and sharp photos don’t mean a thing without great sound. I’m happy to share the news that another studio, Sioux Sioux Studios out of Charlotte, is now rockin’ this beautiful set of Black Labels as their house kit. (Other North Carolina studios include Echo and Sound Temple) This setup features a 12″x8″ rack tom with suspension mount, 14″x14″ and 16″x16″ floor toms, and a thumping 22″x16″ bass drum. The finish is a beautiful Burnt Sienna satin lacquer with a light airbrushed fade. The bass hoops feature a pre-aged maple stain and satin glass glitter inlays. The result is a beautiful setup that compliments the vibe of the studio in both looks and sound. Check it out:
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:
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:
This kit is on the way to our friend Jay who runs Blueberry Hill Bass. Blueberry Hill specializes in finding the most talented, skilled, and experienced luthiers and connecting them with bass players looking for a unique world-class instrument. I like to think that Jay’s exceptional taste in bass guitars also applies to drums, and look forward to the feedback on this beauty. This kit features a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor, and 22″x16″ bass. Custom features include regular key-rods on the bass (vintage t-handles are standard on Black Labels), 2.3mm hoops for a fatter sound, and a Fiberskyn resonant head with 6″ Holz and custom Black Label logo.
