Cocktail kit, or bop kit, or both?

by Dennis
December 7th, 2011

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:

Friday Flashback! First kit for the Eli Young Band…

by Dennis
May 28th, 2010

This week we had the opportunity to supply some cool prototypes to Chris Thompson of the Eli Young Band.  He’s got some cool new snares to try out on the road…but more on those next week!  Today’s Friday Flashback is the first kit we built for the Eli Young Band sometime in early 2006.  This kit featured a 12″ rack tom, 14″ and 16″ hanging floor toms, and a deep 22″ bass.  The finish is a red glass glitter with silver sparkle stars, and custom silver metallic/sparkle powder coating that shimmered under the lights.  This was the first of many cool kits we’ve built for them so far, check it out:
