by Dennis
February 15th, 2011

Check out the latest single from the Eli Young Band, with Chris Thompson holding it down on a sweet set of Phatties. The single will be available March 8th, with the EP to follow. The kit features a 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 20″x14 in Pre-Aged White Pearl with inlaid wood hoops and Phattie Black-Brass 14″x6.5″ snare. Turned out to be the perfect color combo for the video, check it out:

Eli Young Band - Country Throwdown Tour

The Eli Young Band is currently pounding the pavement on the Country Throwdown Tour, hitting cities all over the U.S. with a ton of incredibly talented artists.  Click the image above for a list of dates and get yourself there if you’re a fan of rockin’ country music!  Last week I had the opportunity to catch a show and deliver a new snare to Chris Thompson, drummer for the Eli Young Band.  The snare is 14″x6.5″ clear acrylic with frosted EYB and Phattie logos, and a custom lighting system with remote control.  This snare turns heads unlike anything else, watch the video below to get a full sampling of the different colors/fades/flashes/etc. that it is capable of.  Very cool stuff, look for several full kits later this summer with similar systems we are currently engineering (or click here to check out one we recently did featuring low-profile LED Black Lights!) Dig it:

Friday Flashback! First kit for the Eli Young Band…

by Dennis
May 28th, 2010

This week we had the opportunity to supply some cool prototypes to Chris Thompson of the Eli Young Band.  He’s got some cool new snares to try out on the road…but more on those next week!  Today’s Friday Flashback is the first kit we built for the Eli Young Band sometime in early 2006.  This kit featured a 12″ rack tom, 14″ and 16″ hanging floor toms, and a deep 22″ bass.  The finish is a red glass glitter with silver sparkle stars, and custom silver metallic/sparkle powder coating that shimmered under the lights.  This was the first of many cool kits we’ve built for them so far, check it out:
