Phattie 13″x8″ Hybrid in Paua Abalone & Clear

by Dennis
September 9th, 2011

On the heels of a fair bit of abalone inlay work we’ve done recently comes a beautiful Phattie Hybrid snare that features more than just an inlay.  Featuring a 13″x8″ shell made up of two maple sections and a clear acrylic center, the 10-ply maple is finished in real Paua Abalone shell for a beautiful look unlike anything else.  Complimenting the stunning finish are solid brass tube lugs, a Trick GS007 strainer, Puresound snare wires, stainless steel fasteners and our precision craftsmanship.  A laser engraved Phattie badge completes the package, check it out:

Here’s an exciting change that has been phased in over the past six months, and is finally complete.  All drums now feature stainless steel mounting hardware for all lugs, strainers, brackets, badges, etc.  This hardware never corrodes and provides a clean and crisp look to our gear.  Now standard on all Phattie, Black Label, Cocktail, Sounds Like Art, and Steam Bent drums.  Check it out:

Classy Phattie Workhorse, 14″x7″ with inlays

by Dennis
September 7th, 2011

The 14″x7″ Phattie 10-Ply maple snare is a true workhorse and one of our most popular sizes.  It tunes up easy and has a great range, a perfect blend of sensitivity, attack, and tone.  This one classes things up with a deep Modern Mahogany satin lacquer complimented by natural maple inlays under the tube lugs.  A laser engraved badge in natural maple, Trick GS007 throw off, and Puresound snare wires complete the package for an aesthetically pleasing workhorse of a snare.  Check it out:

Chris Thompson gets a new set of Phatties for the road…

by Dennis
August 1st, 2011

With the release of their new album Life At Best only a few weeks away, Chris of the Eli Young Band recently commissioned this sweet new touring rig.  Features include a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom and 24″x14″ bass drum.  The finish is a custom mixed baby blue satin lacquer with our “perfect brown” satin lacquer wood hoops.  The hardware features a brushed-satin finish and the wooden badges feature the band logo and text engraved, a distressed “worn leather” style stain, and hand painted logo.  An air-brushed Fiberskyn head and vintage style T-rods and claws bring a touch of vintage to the bass drum, and the rope is the final touch that has become a sharp theme on Chris’ killer kits.   Beautiful kit that looks great on stage, check it out:

14″x5″ Sounds Like Art Dragon in Steel Blue

by Dennis
June 13th, 2011

The 14″x5″ Dragon Snare is a fresh new size for 2011.  This is the first one to leave the shop featuring 2.3mm hoops and the sound was spot-on, nice and crisp with beefy rim shots.  The finish is a steel-blue stain with high gloss lacquer that really pulls out the detail of the carving and contrasts well with the black hardware.  Check it out:
