Cocktail kit, or bop kit, or both?

Dennis — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:33:47 +0000

This unique setup takes the nesting option and pushes it one step further than we’ve gone before. A dual latch system on the cocktail drum allows it to be used as a 16″x24″ upright cocktail drum or as a 16″x14″ bop bass drum. The addition of a 13″ floor tom compliments the standard 10″x8″ rack tom perfectly, for a great bop or cocktail combo. A wide variety of ratcheting clamps, l-rods, and cymbal arms make the setup possibilities as wild as your imagination. Something this cool deserves some attention, and the bright Tangerine Glass Glitter finish definitely stands out. Check it:

Dennis — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:45:10 +0000

There’s nothing quite like being able to cart your drumset from gig to gig in just one bag. This kit is another great example of the quality and sound possible with our nesting drum sets. Featuring a 10″x8″ rack tom, 14″x11″ floor tom, 18″x21″ bass drum and a matching 14″x5″ snare, this whole setup fits into one nice travel case. The seams are expertly cut and feature a reinforcement ring that adds structural rigidity and keeps the sections of the drum in-round to each other. The result is a big sound from a little package. Custom features on this kit include the Modern Mahogany satin lacquer, Tear-Drop style lugs, DW Rail mount, and the adjustable latches on the nesting drums. Check it out:

Nested kits travel with each drum in a Protection Racket soft case. Photo below shows them without cases, just to illustrate how it works. I don’t recommend carting them around town like this, would be a little rough on the beautiful finish:
