Black Label Bop Kit in Vintage Gold Glass Glitter

by Dennis
November 30th, 2010

This smooth Black Label bop kit is enroute to it’s new home in Norway.  Featuring several custom touches that really lock in the vintage vibe, this kit sounded just as good as it looked.  The wrap is actual vintage gold glass glitter, made from a different type of crushed glass than the current glitters that are manufactured.  The result is a deeper shimmer under bright lights that looks amazing in person.  Vintage Gretsch-Style spurs, straight floor tom legs, Radio King style lugs, and die cast hoops compliment the finish perfectly on this one.  Sizes are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 18″x14″.  Check it out:

Black Label kit in the most popular color…

by Dennis
October 14th, 2010

The deep and sparkly True Black Glass Glitter is quickly becoming the color to have this year.  Black Label kits look beautiful in this color when combined with the traditional Radio King style hardware, this kit being no exception.  Specially ordered with some unique sizes, a 10″x8.5″ rack tom, 14″x14″ floor, and a thumping 22″x20″ bass make up this drum set.  Diecast hoops and Dunnett spurs round it out for that old-school vibe with a modern touch.  Check it out:

Peacock Pearl Cocktail…or is it a weird convertible kit?

by Dennis
September 29th, 2010

This unique cocktail was created for euGENE Wendell, and is one of the more unique and versatile cocktail kits I’ve done recently.  The finish is a rare and discontinued Peacock Pearl, I was able to snag the last few sheets from a friend in Nashville, just enough to make this versatile setup.  The main cocktail drum features a 18″x16″ main drum with an 18″x8″ woofer attached.  The tom is a 13″x9″ with custom built wood hoops, and the snare is a 13″x6″ with diecast hoops.  The list of custom touches includes Phattie badges, a Dunnett R-Class strainer with quick-release snare change ability, DW/Dunnett quick release spurs for setting up the main cocktail drum as a kick drum, and XLR jacks installed in each drum for internal mic’ing.  Lots of cool setup possibilities with this kit, check out the photos for just a couple:
