The other afternoon I was looking for a file, and came across a folder of some really early cocktail drum builds. Most of these are from 2000 and 2001, when things were just starting to take off. You can see how the cocktail drums have evolved, and what they have become by checking out CocktailDrumsets.com for the latest and greatest. Here’s your old-school Friday Flashback, check it out…
This Phattie snare features a Pre-Aged Marine Pearl finish, a beautiful finish that looks just a little creamier than White Marine Pearl, for a classy appearance. The 10-Ply maple shell combined with the deep 13″x7″ size sounds incredible when tuned up into the higher ranges. Very tight & articulate sound, but with plenty of body and oomph. A Trick strainer completes the package, as part of our push to use American made components whenever possible. Check it out:
This unique set of Phattie drums features a puzzle finish made from sparkle drum wrap. The sizes on this kit are 10″x6″, 12″x7″, 16″x14″, 24″x20″, and a matching 13″x7″ snare. This is an exclusive finish to Phattie, and we’ve got another kit in the works right now that features different colors and is built from Glass Glitter, not sparkle, which has a different look to it with a lot more pop. Check back for photos of that kit in a couple of weeks. In the mean time, here’s a few good shots of our unique puzzle finish made from a sparkle base:
Today’s clip features Danny Farrant breaking in a new set of Black Label drums before the Buzzcocks 2010 North American tour. Recorded with a ZoomQ3 with no post-processing on the sound, straight off the camera for a taste of this style of punk-rock setup and tuning. The sizes are 12″x9″, 16″x16″, 22″x14″, and 14″x5″, all with standard Black Label 8-Ply maple shells and edges, and 2.3mm hoops. Danny went on to play these from coast to coast for the last two months without complaint. Easy to mic, easy to travel with, and take a total Buzzcocks beating every night without fail. Check it out:
Black Sparkle with Black Hardware always looks good, especially on this little 12″x5.5″ Phattie side-snare, check it out:
