Phattie 12″x7″ Acid-Etched Copper/Maple Snare Drum

by Dennis
May 17th, 2011

As we count down the days until the 21st Annual Chicago Drum Show, here’s another little beauty that will be on display.  It’s a copper/maple hybrid featuring a 12″x7″ maple shell under a layer of acid etched copper.  The black hardware really brings the finish to life, and due to the organic nature of the finishing process it’s truly one-of-a-kind.  Trick GS007/PureSound Wires/Phattie bearing edges & all the other standard goodies.  Check it out:

by Dennis
April 12th, 2011

Here’s a sweet little Phattie 14″x6″ snare that features one of our new Custom Wraps.  This particular one features a glass glitter base with a black background and yellow flames, accented by red air-brushed style highlights.  It’s a great example of what’s possible, check out the custom wraps page to learn more.  Specs on this build include a 14″x6″ maple shell, Phattie bearing edges, black hardware, Evans heads, Puresound wires, Trick GS007, solid brass tube lugs and all the normal goodies.  The durability of a wrap with the look of a sparkle-lacquer custom paint job, check it out:

Copper Pearl over a 1/2″ Maple Stave

by Dennis
March 21st, 2011

This build featured a custom 13″ x 1/2″ thick stave shell that provides plenty of attack and solid, thick-sounding rim shots.  This is the first drum I’ve done using black chrome plated hardware over the copper pearl wrap, and it’s a beautiful combination.  Check it out:

Phattie 14″x7″ in a custom Modern Sparkle wrap

by Dennis
March 14th, 2011

This sweet 14″x7″ 10-Ply maple Phattie features one of the coolest sparkle wraps around.  The “Modern Sparkle” style wrap features small metallic flakes that replicate the look of an automotive paint job.  A charcoal base color with silver and blue pinstripes compliments the black hardware nicely.  To help it perform just as good as it looks a Trick GS007 strainer, Evans batter head, Puresound wires, and Phattie bearing-edge come standard.  Check it out:

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, 13″x6.5″ with matching Wood Hoops

by Dennis
March 9th, 2011

There are several new Sounds Like Art snares in the works and being prototyped; Todays post features the first 13″x6.5″ Dragon Snare to roll out of the shop.  Featuring the popular Scorched Maple satin-lacquer finish, black hardware, Trick GS007, and wood hoops in a matching Scorched Maple finish, this drum has a seriously beefy sound for a 13″.  The shell is over 3/4″ thick at the bearing edges and combined with the wood hoops the rim shots are incredibly solid and thick sounding.  Couldn’t have asked for more out of the first 13″, check it out:
