You can see how the cocktail drums have evolved, and what they have become by checking out CocktailDrumsets.com for the latest and greatest. Here’s your old-school Friday Flashback, check it out…

A Modern Cocktail Kit in classic White Marine Pearl

This unique cocktail kit features a modern vibe with it’s offset-woofer construction of the main drum and larger tom/snare sizes, but a classic White Marine Pearl finish and Radio King style lugs to keep the vintage vibe going.  The main cocktail drum consists of an 18″x16″ main bass and 18″x8″ floor tom/woofer suspended above it.  The snare is a 12″x6″ with more room for brush work over our smaller sizes, and the 12″x7″ tom offers a deeper tone more inline with the 18″ drum.  This was a special build for Slick of 3-Speed, click here to check out their website, and scroll down to check out a pic of this monster in action:
