Frosted Acrylic Snare w/Clear Stripes, and a little light show…

by Dennis
January 6th, 2011

Wood hoops sound great on Acrylic shells, tone down the brightness a little and add a little bit of a thicker sound.  This snare is a perfect example, in 13″x7″ it has a nice phat sound but still a bit of the brightness associated with the acrylic shell.  This shell features a frosted finish with clear racing stripes around the bottom, that really pops when it lights up.  Check out the video to see the contrast between the two.  Other features include maple hoops inlaid with White Marine Pearl, brushed-satin style hardare, Trick GS007 strainer, and Evans heads.  Check it out:

A little something to brighten up your weekend

by Dennis
December 18th, 2010

Here’s something worth making a weekend post about: A 7-piece Clear Acrylic Phattie kit with full DMX controls.  This kit features 10″x8″ and 12″x8″ rack toms, 14″x14″, 15″x14″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, a 20″x18″ bass and a 13″x7″ snare (not pictured).   Built using RCI clear acrylic shells and brushed-satin hardware, this kit delivers in both sounds and looks.  The ultra low-profile LED install was designed, wired, and installed in-house for maximum brightness while keeping an almost invisible presence when not in-use.  Once the kit is setup with stands and cymbals, you’ve got no idea what’s coming until it powers up!  Check out the video for a full sampling of the different flashing/fading/chasing/crazy colors that are possible:

Here’s a sweet little 14″x7″ Phattie Acrylic Snare that features a Starglow acrylic shell.  With the lights off it’s a smooth glossy white, but with the lights on it glows smooth and even like nothing else out there.  Check out the video for an example of some of the controls.  All black-chrome hardware, a TRICK GS007 strainer, and Evans heads wrapped up this one nicely, dig it:

Phattie Hybrids with Quick Action Drum Lugs

by Dennis
November 4th, 2010

This fresh set of Phattie Hybrids features the new Quick Action Drum Lug all around, with custom RIMS mounting and bass hoop lugs.   The Quick Action Drum Lugs are a quick-release style lug that works different than other quick release lugs on the market.  Once all the tension rods on a head have been loosened, you just turn the hoop to the side and they all slide right out of the lug.  This system is also designed to not interfere with the RIMS mounts.  Heads can be removed and swapped while the drum stays on the stand, no problem!  The lug inserts stay on the tension rod when the hoops are removed, preventing the tension rods from sliding off the hoops, getting lost, etc.  This function is the same on the bass drum hoops, when the hoop comes off the tension rods can’t slip out of the hoop lugs, they stay attached, making head swaps a piece of cake.    For more info on these lugs check out QuickActionDrumLug.com

Kit specs: 10″, 12″, 14″, and 16″ hanging rack toms with Gauger Alloy RIMS mounts, and a thumping 22″x20″ bass with heavy duty spurs.  Navy Blue acrylic center sections, Blue Glass Glitter maple sections, and Evans heads all-around, check it out:

It’s early Monday morning, and if you’re a drum fanatic that needs a cup of coffee to get moving, the video below just might work for you!

This kit is a Phattie Hybrid Series that features 10″x8″ and 12″x9″ rack toms, 14″x12″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, a thumping 22″x20″ bass, and a matching 14″x8″ snare.  The finish is Broken Glass Glitter with lightly frosted clear acrylic inserts and classic tear-drop style lugs holding it all together.  The lighting system was created in-house, and features multiple channels of control allowing different drums to be different colors, and greatly expands the light-show possibilities and programming options of the kit.  Check out the video to get a taste of the possibilities, then visit our Youtube and Facebook pages to see many more photos and videos of this kit in action.  Dig it:
