Black Label 30′s style Trap Kit

by Dennis
March 28th, 2011

With the recent Top Hat & Cane kit, we took it back to the 40′s with the finish and the 50′s with the hardware.  Today we step back another decade to the late 20′s and mid 30′s with a true Trap Kit style build.  Built with the goal of capturing the sound and style of the era with modern touches that make it tour-ready.  The sizes include a 14″x5″ main snare, 14″x12″ field drum/snare, 16″x14″ floor tom/cocktail drum, 22″x10″ bass, and an 11″ traditional Chinese tom.  The long list of custom touches includes pre-aged and inlaid wood hoops, an original 1920′s/1930′s Ludwig wood block, a clip-on tom mount, reproduction 3-point style strainers, low-boy hihat stand and much more.  For a full run-down of all the features check out this kit-tour video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LolMfua4mGw Check it out:

Avett Brothers ring in the new year on their new Black Labels

by Dennis
January 3rd, 2011

Happy New Year! Lets kick it off with some exciting news: The Avett Brothers took delivery of their new kit just in time for the sold-out New Years Eve show in Asheville, and are now rockin’ an awesome set of Black Label drums. A heavy vintage vibe was desired from this setup, both to compliment the sound and the aesthetics of their style. The result is a Black Label kit featuring 13″x9″ and 16″x16″ wood-hooped toms, a 22″x14″ bass, and a 14″x6.5″ snare. Finish is a custom mixed blend of reds and browns to create a very old-school mahogany, and the hoops have a deep amber and tobacco mix on them to give that aged vibe. Lugs are Radio King reproductions with a brushed satin nickel style finish, and coated heads were used top and bottom to get that really warm old-school sound. Even the Silver Glass Glitter inlay on the bass hoops was pre-aged and features no gloss, a perfect match to the hardware and hoops.

There couldn’t be a better way to kick off the New Year, so say hello to the Avett Brothers, Jacob Edwards on drums, on their new Black Label setup:

Black Label Bop Kit in Vintage Gold Glass Glitter

by Dennis
November 30th, 2010

This smooth Black Label bop kit is enroute to it’s new home in Norway.  Featuring several custom touches that really lock in the vintage vibe, this kit sounded just as good as it looked.  The wrap is actual vintage gold glass glitter, made from a different type of crushed glass than the current glitters that are manufactured.  The result is a deeper shimmer under bright lights that looks amazing in person.  Vintage Gretsch-Style spurs, straight floor tom legs, Radio King style lugs, and die cast hoops compliment the finish perfectly on this one.  Sizes are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 18″x14″.  Check it out:
