Friday Flashback! Red Onyx on classic sizes…

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:

A little blast from the past…

Been feeling a little nostalgic this week, having crossed the 10-years-in-business threshold recently.  So for today’s good times, here’s a shot of my first kit I bought myself back in the day.  I believe they originated in the factory that eventually became Pearl.  Japanese imports with Slingerland knock-off hardware, and a very faded Red Glass Glitter finish.  12″x8″, 16″x16″, 20″X14″, and a 14″x5.5″ snare.  Found them in a classified ad from a pawn shop around 15 years ago, and to this day they still get a little stick time.
