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

by Dennis
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:

Black Label rock’n'roll setup, with a little customer feedback…

by Dennis
April 29th, 2010

This beautiful Black Label kit features great classic rock’n'roll sizes with a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom, 24″x14″ bass, and a deep 14″x7″ snare.  The finish is True Black glass glitter and custom touches include a shell mounted cymbal holder and rail mount on the bass, double row of lugs on the snare, and a Ludwig P40662 internal tone control on the snare.  Here’s what Tim had to say when they arrived:

“Well, the kit showed up yesterday safe and sound.  It’s hard for me to tell you how happy I am with them.  Not only are they absolutely beautiful, they sound amazing! Right out of the case. The bass sounds great with nothing in it. I’ve got the very same head combo on my 24” Slingerland, and I had to put one of those Evans EQ pillows in it to get the sound I wanted.  I bought one for the new drum, but I don’t think I’ll need it. Everything about them from the shells, to the hardware looks to be very high quality, and the cases are fantastic as well.  Quality is something I know.  I’ve work as a machinist, and now as a inspector for a aerospace manufacture here in Dayton for quite a while.  It has been such a long time since I bought something, and was really happy with what I got.  My hat is off to you, and your crew for the outstanding care, and talent that you put into your product.  I hope you saved a few nice pics of them to put on your daily blog.

Thank you much!
Tim”

Thanks for the kind words Tim, I’m glad you’re stoked about your new gear.  And on to the photos we did save of this killer setup:

Friday Flashback! G. Love on tour with 311…

by Dennis
April 16th, 2010

In the summer of 2003 G. Love and Special Sauce toured with 311 for a couple of months.  Our friend and groove-master Jeffrey Houseman Clemens was rocking his first set of Phattie Drums in Green Sparkle.  This kit featured a 12″x8″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor, 24″x14″ bass, and two snares in 14″ and 10″ diameters.  The 14″ was playing backup to the amazing ’50′s Ludwig you’ll see in the photo, and the 10″ was tucked to the left as a nice accent snare.  After the photos is a DVD promo from about the same time/tour era, check it out for some cool clips of Houseman’s kit and a little look behind the scenes of life with G.
