October has featured a number of beautiful kits, and I’m happy to send out the month on a very high note!  This unique set of Phattie Drums features a deep purple stain with a Kandy black burst topped in a high gloss lacquer.  Under the beautiful clear coat is a 1/4″ silver leaf inlay that compliments the chrome hardware perfectly.  The sizes include 10″x8″, 12″x9″, and 14″x10″ rack toms, 16″x14″ floor tom, 22″x18″ bass and a matching 14″x6.5″ snare.  Custom touches include chrome Pearl Optimounts, 1/4″ silver leaf inlay, diecast hoops on the snare and tear-drop style lugs all around.  Check it out:

A little vintage eye candy…

I’ve got a special Black Label project that’s been in the works for a long time, that you’ll get to see in the next month or so as all the little details come together and it gets wrapped up.  This one has required some special parts sourcing and design work on a number of levels, from the very custom finish to getting exactly the right vintage hardware.  The vintage gear heads will appreciate the quality of the chrome on this Rogers mount, one of the special pieces to the puzzle of this killer project:
