Phattie Hybrids with Quick Action Drum Lugs

by Dennis
November 4th, 2010

This fresh set of Phattie Hybrids features the new Quick Action Drum Lug all around, with custom RIMS mounting and bass hoop lugs.   The Quick Action Drum Lugs are a quick-release style lug that works different than other quick release lugs on the market.  Once all the tension rods on a head have been loosened, you just turn the hoop to the side and they all slide right out of the lug.  This system is also designed to not interfere with the RIMS mounts.  Heads can be removed and swapped while the drum stays on the stand, no problem!  The lug inserts stay on the tension rod when the hoops are removed, preventing the tension rods from sliding off the hoops, getting lost, etc.  This function is the same on the bass drum hoops, when the hoop comes off the tension rods can’t slip out of the hoop lugs, they stay attached, making head swaps a piece of cake.    For more info on these lugs check out QuickActionDrumLug.com

Kit specs: 10″, 12″, 14″, and 16″ hanging rack toms with Gauger Alloy RIMS mounts, and a thumping 22″x20″ bass with heavy duty spurs.  Navy Blue acrylic center sections, Blue Glass Glitter maple sections, and Evans heads all-around, check it out:

Friday Flashback! Rootbeer Sparkle Lacquer

by Dennis
July 23rd, 2010

This Friday Flashback features a beautiful rock setup in a Rootbeer Sparkle Lacquer finish.  Dating from sometime in early 2006, this kit features a 13″x9″, 16″x16″, 18″x16″, 26″x18″ and a matching 14″x8″ snare.  The finish is an automotive lacquer featuring House of Kolor Kandy over a base made from heavy silver flakes, and is absolutely stunning under the lights.  Our unique PhatRat lug with polished brass inserts compliments the finish perfectly, check it out:

Welcome in the new year, with this Sounds Like Art gem

by Dennis
December 31st, 2009

As 2009 slips away and we jump into 2010, lets go out on one of my favorite snares from this past year.  This is a Sounds Like Art snare, Series I.  The shell started out as a 1″ thick maple stave shell, and was precision carved to what you see below.  The lugs are a custom machined art deco design with solid brass tuning inserts, the hoops are Slingerland Stick-Saver reproductions, and the strainer is the Dunnett R-Class.   My favorite feature of this drum was the paint job.   Created using Dodge Viper Silver Metallic as a base over the wood working, it was then sealed and coated in Toyota Scion XB Black, which was antiqued to get a nice weathered effect, and then clear coated in a high-gloss.  The final drum is an awesome work of art, the photos really don’t do it justice…but here’s a farewell to ’09, and a big Happy New Year to all:
