Cocktail Drum Set with a Puzzling Glass Glitter

by Dennis
October 10th, 2011

This unique Cocktail kit was built with a number of custom touches.  If it looks familiar, then you’re thinking about this Phattie set we built earlier in the year.  Our exclusive Puzzle Glass Glitter, a matching shade of blue powder coated hardware, 7/8 offset tube lugs, a Trick GS007 strainer upgrade, and custom laser engraved wooden badges make this Deluxe Cocktail Kit a true one-of-a-kind.  If a cocktail kit wasn’t unique enough to begin with, this is one that would be hard to miss.  Check it out:

The previous blog post featured the crazy 7-piece Phattie Puzzle Kit.  Today we take a close-up look at the snare, a 14″x8″ 30-ply beast with an incredible amount of projection and killer rim shots.  All the standard goodies were included on this build: Trick GS007 strainer, Puresound wires, Evans heads, VSS maple shell, etc.  Custom touches include the laser engraved & personalized wood badge, 7/8 offset lugs, die cast hoops, stainless steel allen bolts inside, and the 30-ply shell construction.  Check it out:

Friday Flashback! Interesting stain and hardware combo…

by Dennis
October 29th, 2010

This Friday Flashback is a Phattie maple kit featuring a deep red/modern mahogany type satin stain with Gunmetal Gray powder coated hardware, similar to the Gretsch Broadkaster hardware finish.  The sizes included 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″, and 16″ suspended toms, a 14″x4″ snare, and a 20″ bass and woofer combo.  This combination of sizes and woofer allowed for many setup possibilities, from the full rock kit to a little coffee-house style portable setup, check it out:

Friday Flashback! Blue Glass with a little white powder coating…

by Dennis
October 22nd, 2010

Today’s Friday Flashback is from early 2003, best I can recall.  Phattie kit in Blue Glass Glitter with Adonis lugs, and white powder coating all around.  The sizes were (or were close to) 10″x7″, 12″x8″, 14″x12″, 16″x14″ and a thumping 20″x20″ bass.  The blue & white combo is sharp looking, and you could never go wrong with Adonis lugs, check it out:
