Today’s kit is a great blend of custom drums and classy touches. The finish is a deep Modern Mahogany satin lacquer with classy True Gold glass glitter inlays spaced perfectly under the resonant side lugs. The sizes include a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor tom, 24″x16″ bass drum, and matching 14″x7″ snare. The photos really do the talking on this one, check it out:
The natural depth & color of walnut makes an outstanding background for a thin 1/4″ pinstripe of Paua Abalone. This 14″x5.5″ snare features a steam bent 1-ply shell, solid brass tube lugs, solid brass single-flanged hoops and a Dunnett R4 strainer with quick release ends. The bearing edges feature a full round over for a very old school and warm sound. This drum also features all stainless steel internal screws, something I’m doing on most snares now. Check it out:
Paua Abalone shell is one of natures most beautiful creations, with a color and depth that can’t be duplicated with mere wraps or custom paints. This Phattie Hybrid Snare is 14″x6.5″ and features 10-ply maple edges fully covered in stunning Paua Abalone shell. Other features include a custom laser engraved wooden badge, solid brass tube lugs, Trick GS007 strainer and PureSound snare wires. A longer description won’t do it justice, so lets skip right to the photos:
Hybrid Maple/Acrylic/Maple drums are a relatively new development in the drum world. Wooden inlays are timeless and have been used by luthiers for many, many years. This deep 13″x8″ Phattie snare combines the best of both worlds for a sharp modern look with a classic wood working touch. The maple sections are 10-Ply Maple with 1/2″ wide ebony, cherry and maple inlays. The center section is 1/4″ clear acrylic, check it out:
Robert George recently opened up a beautiful new studio here in Asheville. Sound Temple was designed as a “sacred recording space” that is also a world class recording studio designed by renowned studio designer Wes LaChot. The new Phattie house-kit for the studio features 10″x8″ and 12″x9″ rack toms, 14″x12″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, 22″x16″ and 18″x14″ bass drums, and a 14″x7″ snare. The drums are all maple and feature an ebony & cherry inlay around each shell that compliments the black-chrome hardware. The finish is a custom satin lacquer tinted to compliment the trim in the studio. For more info about the studio and it’s stellar setup visit www.rgproductions.net/
