Sounds Like Art 14″x7″ Dragon with black hardware…

Today’s drum is a 14″x7″ Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare that recently made it’s way to Australia.  The Sounds Like Art snares feature stave-construction shells out of various woods, and detailed 3D carvings that set them apart from anything else.  This snare features a maple shell nearly 1″ thick, for a tight sound with lots of projection and cut.  The 7″ depth makes sure the drum still has a lot of body and a thick sound to it, so it’s not just the cut/attack you hear.  Black chrome hardware, a black Trick strainer, and custom ordered Evans heads round out this package for an awesome look, check it out:

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:

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, with natural flames…

This 14″x7″ Dragon Snare features unique coloring that allowed the main shell to be stained a deep red, while the flames remained a natural maple that accents the detail in the carving.  Black Chrome hardware and a Dunnett R-Class strainer provide function that goes great with the form, dig it:
