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:

Artist Video highlights of 2011

by Dennis
December 23rd, 2011

2011 has been a great year filled with many awesome experiences!  We’ve been able to work with a ton of great drummers with great ideas, and turn those ideas into amazing kits.  The best part is watching these guys exercise their talent on a set of drums we built, and see the enjoyment they get out of a finely crafted instrument.  Here are a couple of video highlights from the year, from two of my favorite artists:

The Eli Young Band has had an amazing year, with Chris Thompson driving the beat from his Phatties.  Their hit Crazy Girl made it to #1!  Here’s the official video, featuring a beautiful set of Phattie Drums in pre-aged pearl with inlaid wood hoops:

Later in the year the Eli Young Band had the opportunity to play Letterman.  At this point Chris was playing his new baby-blue Phatties, and Letterman gives the drums a little shout-out at the end of the performance, check it out:

This year almost marked a banner year for the Avett Brothers.  Here’s a clip of them playing the Grammys in a very cool performance that included Mumford & Sons and Bob Dylan.  Drummer Jacob Edwards was using his Black Label 14″x6.5″ snare:

Most recently the Avett Brothers played Laundry Room on the CMT Artist of the Year Awards.  Jacob rocked his full Black Label outfit with the vintage style mahogany finish and pre-aged wood hoops.  Check it out:

Hope you enjoyed these select highlights from the year. Many more video appearances from our artists are already in the works for 2012. Stay tuned!

Black Label 14″x7″ Workhorse with Cold Rolled hoops

by Dennis
November 7th, 2011

This 14″x7 Black Label snare drum features 4mm thick cold rolled steel hoops for a great wide-open sound.  Thicker than traditional single-flanged hoops, these 4mm steel hoops provide a great wide-open tone but have thick rim shots similar to a diecast hoop.  Combined with vintage-style claws over a perfect brown satin lacquer, this is one classic looking beauty.  Check it out:

by Dennis
October 27th, 2011

Today’s kit combines a beautiful birds eye maple veneer, deep golden amber stain, and a 1/2″ Paua Abalone inlay all buried under a high gloss lacquer.  The sizes include 10″x7″ and 12″x7″ rack toms, a 14″x12″ floor tom, and 20″X14″ bass drum.  Custom touches include DW brackets, a double tom holder mounted on the bass drum, and die cast hoops.  This one turned out to be quite a head turner, check it out:
