Black Label set with a Birds Eye Maple veneer and Paua Abalone inlay

by Dennis
October 27th, 2011

Today’s kit combines a beautiful birds eye maple veneer, deep golden amber stain, and a 1/2″ Paua Abalone inlay all buried under a high gloss lacquer.  The sizes include 10″x7″ and 12″x7″ rack toms, a 14″x12″ floor tom, and 20″X14″ bass drum.  Custom touches include DW brackets, a double tom holder mounted on the bass drum, and die cast hoops.  This one turned out to be quite a head turner, check it out:

Black Label jazz kit in light Birds Eye with Abalone inlays

by Dennis
October 25th, 2011

This Black Label set recently came back through the shop on it’s way to a new owner.  The finish was freshened up and the beautiful results can be seen below.  At the core are the 100% maple 8-ply shells in a 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 20″x16″.  A veneer of light Birds Eye Maple and a 1/4″ strip of Abalone are protected beneath many layers of a perfect satin lacquer for a stunning, yet subtle finish.  Radio King style hardware and heavy duty spurs complete the package, for a “retro-mod” style kit.  The best of what’s old combined with the best of what’s new, in a very classy package.  Check it out:

Exotic Red Oak Burl on a little Phattie jazz setup

by Dennis
January 9th, 2010

This particular kit featured a red oak burl veneer created by book-matching the veneer from small sheets from the same log.  This involves carefully slicing the veneer to match up the grain lines, to create mirror images of it around the drum.  The labor is intensive, but the final product is beautiful.  The sizes are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, 18″x14″, and a matching 14″x4″ snare.  The veneer is finished with a thick layer of polyester, buffed to a mirror shine.  There is no coloring or staining, that is the natural hue of the red oak burl.  A great sounding jazz kit suitable for the classiest gig:
