Friday Flashback! Deep Blue Satin Burst over maple…

This Friday Flashback kit goes way back to late 2003, and is a set of Phattie Classic Series that featured a smooth deep blue-to-black burst.  The sizes were 8″x7″, 10″x8″, 12″x9″, and 14″x14″, with a beefy 24″x18″ bass.  All with chrome tear-drop lugs and Pearl BT3 style suspension mounts.  Great looking kit…if it happens to be your kit now, send in some action photos!

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, some detail shots…

Several Dragon Snares shipped out this week, all 14″x7″ with Maple shells.  This one has our “Scorched Maple” finish with all chrome hardware.  The shell is just a hair under 1″ thick and is made using stave construction before carving.  The result is an amazing piece of art that has an perfect blend of attack and warmth.  Check out these close-ups of the detail that goes into construction:

Phattie Bronze Acrylic Kit, One up and two down…

Bronze Acrylic is perhaps one of the perfect colors for Acrylic kits, up there with our popular Coke Bottle Green.  Lighter than the Smoke acrylic, it lets more light through for a great stage presence, but dark enough that its not totally transparent.  This kit features a 12″x9″ rack tom, 14″x12″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, and a thumping 24″x18″ bass drum.  Finished with chrome hardware and chrome-wrapped maple hoops, it’s one smooth looking setup:
