Friday Flashback, a funky Orange Satin Lacquer set of Phatties…

This Friday Flashback dates from early 2003…geeze time flies!  This kit included 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″, and 16″ hanging toms and a 22″ bass, all finished in a bright orange satin lacquer with black hardware.  This was also one of the first kits that rocked our new Phattie logo in the bubble-badge that we used until switching to the chrome-plated badges.  The matching orange Phattie logo on the bass was a nice touch, check it out:

Friday Flashback! First kit for the Eli Young Band…

This week we had the opportunity to supply some cool prototypes to Chris Thompson of the Eli Young Band.  He’s got some cool new snares to try out on the road…but more on those next week!  Today’s Friday Flashback is the first kit we built for the Eli Young Band sometime in early 2006.  This kit featured a 12″ rack tom, 14″ and 16″ hanging floor toms, and a deep 22″ bass.  The finish is a red glass glitter with silver sparkle stars, and custom silver metallic/sparkle powder coating that shimmered under the lights.  This was the first of many cool kits we’ve built for them so far, check it out:

A set of Phatties for every occasion…

Many drummers dream of having a single kit that can be configured for any gig.  Occasionally a drummer makes that dream come true!  This beautiful Perfect Brown Satin kit includes wood hoop toms in 8″x8″, 10″x8″, 12″x9″, 14″x14″, 16″x16″, and 18″x16″ sizes.  Steel hooped toms in 12″x9″, 16″x16″, and 18″x16″ sizes.  Bass drums include two 24″x22″, a 22″x20″, a 22″x10″ woofer, and a conversion kit for the 18″ wood hooped tom to be used as a bass.  Snares included a 14″x4″ 10-ply maple, 14″x6″ 15-ply maple, and a 14″x8″ 10-ply maple.  This variety of sizes allows for dozens of unique configurations that cover any gig.  From a small 3-piece bop kit to an arena rock setup, the configurations are nearly endless.

This kit featured chrome tube lugs, our Perfect Brown Satin Lacquer finish, and custom Fiberskyn logo heads with a Victorian-style shield logo.  Not all drums are pictured below, but here’s a taste of the setup possibilities:
