Cocktail kit, or bop kit, or both?

by Dennis
December 7th, 2011

This unique setup takes the nesting option and pushes it one step further than we’ve gone before.  A dual latch system on the cocktail drum allows it to be used as a 16″x24″ upright cocktail drum or as a 16″x14″ bop bass drum.  The addition of a 13″ floor tom compliments the standard 10″x8″ rack tom perfectly, for a great bop or cocktail combo.  A wide variety of ratcheting clamps, l-rods, and cymbal arms make the setup possibilities as wild as your imagination.  Something this cool deserves some attention, and the bright Tangerine Glass Glitter finish definitely stands out.  Check it:

Tangerine Glass Glitter on a Cocktail Kit

by Dennis
June 7th, 2010

This custom Cocktail Kit recently left for a new home in the U.K., and was special ordered without the snare and with a larger tom.  The drummer is planning to use an existing 14″ snare with this kit, hence the larger 12″ tom to compliment the overall larger sound.  The main drum is our standard 16″x24″, with the same mounting hardware found on our Deluxe Cocktail Kits.  The finish is a stunning Tangerine Glass Glitter, and looks extra classy with the Radio King style lugs, check it out:

New Black Label snare for The Movement

by Dennis
January 25th, 2010

Gary Jackson of The Movement just picked up his 14″x5.5″ Black Label work-horse snare while they were stopped over in Asheville.  This is the standard “work horse” model featuring a 100% maple shell, 8 Radio King style lugs, 2.3mm hoops, wrapped finish, and the Dunnett R-Class strainer.  Tunes up very nice, check out our youtube link to the left for some clips of this snare in action, and check out TheMovementVibe.com to hear more beats from Gary and his Black Label drums.
