by Dennis
June 10th, 2011

Todays post is another great example of the range of custom finishing techniques available on the Sounds Like Art line of carved drums.  This 14″x7″ Dragon Snare features a metallic finish that gives the appearance of burnished pewter over the 1″ thick maple shell.  You can learn more about the Sounds Like Art series by clicking here.  Check it out:

Dragon Snare with a touch of gold

by Dennis
May 27th, 2011

Recently displayed at the 2011 Chicago Drum Show, this beautiful Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare turned a lot of heads.  This model features a 14″x7″ maple shell finished in dark emerald green stain topped with a light brushing of gold.  The protective clear coat is a semi-gloss satin lacquer, and black plated hardware rounds out this drum so it looks just as good as it sounds.  The gold features a light metallic shimmer that accents the depth and detail of the wood carving, check it out:

Friday Flashback! Deep Blue Satin Burst over maple…

by Dennis
June 18th, 2010

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!
