Back from Nashville, what a show!

The Southern Drum Show this past weekend in Nashville was a great success! Tons of drummers came in from surrounding states and joined the heavy local scene to make for a great show. It was a blast to meet some new guys, catch up with some old industry pals, and get amazing reviews on our gear. If you couldn’t make the show, here’s some shots of what we had on display:

The Stauffer Percussion Booth, right next to the great Vaughcraft guys:

This kit was a show-stopper, with many saying it was the classiest old-school style setup there. Pre-aged marine pearl with inlayed wood hoops, a real beauty:

The Black Label jazz setup in Burnt Sienna satin lacquer. Classic hardware, sizes, and a rail mount. “Modern Classic” gear for the vintage lovers that need a drum built with modern durability and precision:

The worlds first Hybrid/Chamber Kit, featuring the Phattie CustomShop Badge:

Each shell features 23-ply bearing edges with a custom 3-ply Birch inner shell, and a quarter-inch hair chamber between the acrylic and birch sections of the shell. Within the chamber is hand-stenciled artwork accented by color-matched custom powder coating. Amazing sounding drums that turned heads all weekend:

You can never go wrong with a little Tangerine Glass Glitter:

Props to Hutch for letting us steal his kit for the weekend, this was another eye-catcher:

Nothing pulls people into a booth quite like flashing drums…aside from glowing red, this kit features a custom triggered LED setup that strobes when the drums are hit. Throw in a glowing hood ornament, and nobody will notice if you drop your sticks while rockin’ this beauty:

The original Dragon Snare #1 from the Sounds Like Art lineup made an appearance. We’ll be sure to bring the full lineup of different finish options next time around, this was definitely the most asked about snare in our booth:

The original Sounds Like Art Series I snare made an appearance as well:

Thanks to George at Not So Modern Drummer for putting together such a great show, and for all those that attended and hung out over the weekend. We had a great time, saw some great gear, and can’t wait until next year!
