This beautiful example of Coke Bottle Green features 10″x8″ and 12″x8″ rack toms with special order Yamaha-style mounts, 16″x14″ floor tom, and a killer 20″x18″ bass. Coke Bottle Green is one of the best acrylic colors around, and for good reason, check it out:
This months issue of DRUM! Magazine (July, 2010) has a great feature on Frank Knuckles Walker, the percussionist for the Roots. Frank is a killer drummer and got the gig as the Roots percussionist in 2001, after the Neda Stella tour with Erykah Badu, where he was holding the tight beat on a set of wood-hooped Phatties. Sizes included a 10″x8″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom, 24″x20″ bass, and a variety of 20-ply piccolo snares. Ten years, my how time flies…
This Deluxe Cocktail Kit features a beautiful high-gloss Tobacco Burst lacquer that looks outstanding in person. The snare and tom were airbrushed with a one-way fade that lines up with the top half of the burst on the main drum, looks stellar when setup. The photos tell the story on this one, check it out:
This unique Phattie setup featured a heavy duty Flat Black wrap with Black Nickel hardware. The sizes include 8″x7″, 10″x8″, 13″x12″ and 15″x13″ toms, with a 22″x18″ bass. This allows for a tight two-up two-down setup while keeping everything nice and close. The Flat Black wrap with glossy black nickel hardware looks killer, check it out:
Today’s clip features Danny Farrant breaking in a new set of Black Label drums before the Buzzcocks 2010 North American tour. Recorded with a ZoomQ3 with no post-processing on the sound, straight off the camera for a taste of this style of punk-rock setup and tuning. The sizes are 12″x9″, 16″x16″, 22″x14″, and 14″x5″, all with standard Black Label 8-Ply maple shells and edges, and 2.3mm hoops. Danny went on to play these from coast to coast for the last two months without complaint. Easy to mic, easy to travel with, and take a total Buzzcocks beating every night without fail. Check it out:
This is a one-off custom snare recently wrapped up for Chris Thompson with the Eli Young Band. He’s been touring with a Phattie 14″x6.5″ Black Brass snare for the last year, and was ready for something with a little more bite to it. This drum fit the bill perfectly! The shell is 14″x5″ and 1/16″ thick with rounded bearing edges. It’s tricked out with a Dunnett R2 Throw-off that features a quick release feature for quick head changes without having to take off the snare wires. Ten solid-brass tube lugs and the heavy die-cast hoops give this drum a bite that the deeper and thinner 14″x6.5″ just didn’t have. Along with the great sound it turned out to be quite the head turner, check it out:
