Phattie Hybrid Kit, Black Glass over Starglow Acrylic

by Dennis
September 29th, 2011

Today’s kit is a sharp looking set of Phattie Hybrids.  StarGlow acrylic centers combined with our LED lighting provide for an awesome effect against the black glass glitter and black hardware.  The sizes on this custom setup include 8″x8″, 10″x8″, and 12″x8″ rack toms, 14″x14″ and 18″x16″ floor toms and a thumping 22″x20″ bass drum.  Pearl Optimounts were used on the rack toms, and custom machined to fit Yamaha tom brackets that were powder coated black to match.   Other custom touches include a full DMX controller with built-in light board, black Gauger Alloy RIMS cradles, a deep-dish front bass hoop, and Phattie Custom Shop badges placed discreetly so they don’t interfere with the light show.  Smooth kit that looks killer when the lights go down, check it out:

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:
