Black Label rock kit in Vintage Gold Glass Glitter

by Dennis
January 5th, 2012

The hue of this Vintage Gold Glass Glitter shows great with the classic styling of the Black Label series.  The sizes on this big rock kit include a 14″x10″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom, and 24″x18″ bass drum.  Classic touches include the inlaid black-lacquer bass hoops, Radio King style lugs and rail mount.  Modern touches include the deeper bass drum, Gauger Alloy RIMS mount and Pearl-style fold out spurs.  The result is custom kit that is a perfect blend of new and old, check it out:

A Phattie kit with an abundance of Puzzle

by Dennis
March 24th, 2011

Here’s another great example of our exclusive Puzzle Glass Glitter, this time combined with themed wooden badges and powder coated hardware that really compliments the overall vibe.  Drum sizes include fast rack toms in 8″x6″, 10″x6.5″, and 12″x7″ with Alloy RIMS mounts; 14″x12″ and 16″x14″ floor toms with Alloy RIMS cradles; a thumping 24″x20″ bass and a 14″x8″ 30-Ply snare drum.  The hardware is powder coated solid high-gloss blue and the badges are laser engraved and profile-cut to match the kit.  Click here to check out more of our custom glass glitters and videos of some of the possibilities. It’s a shame, but I can honestly say the photos don’t capture just how much this finish sparkles in person, check it out:

Solid Maple Black Label with Abalone Inlay

by Dennis
November 2nd, 2010

This is one of the classiest kits I’ve been given the opportunity to build recently, and I couldn’t be more excited about how it looks and sounds!  The foundation started with Vaughncraft single-ply steam bent maple shells.  Then a 1/4″ strip of real abalone shell was inlaid around the center of each shell and then coated in a satin-lacquer finish.  Classic Radio King style hardware was used all around, but with a twist:  All the hardware on this kit was hand finished to a vintage brushed-nickel style feel to compliment the satin finish and vintage vibe.  The final sizes included a 13″ rack tom w/alloy RIMS mount, 16″ floor tom with alloy RIMS cradle, and a 26″ bass with heavy duty spurs.  While I could wax eloquent for paragraphs about it, lets skip to some photos:

Half way through the week, and oh what a week…

by Dennis
July 29th, 2009

Here’s one of the hotter projects to leave the Custom Shop this week. The toms are 10×8, 12×8, 14×14, 15×14, with a matching 24×16 bass and 14×6 snare. The fade is a custom satin lacquer, featuring oxblood over a dark walnut base, faded to ebony over oxblood on the hoops. The snare features a Yamaha batter hoop painted to match the fade. The contrast with the black nickel hardware turned out great, and the Gauger Alloy RIMS and Gibraltar STL-3 leg mounts really set it off. Check it out:
