Nesting Cocktail Kit with some vintage-style class

by Dennis
January 4th, 2012

Finished in White Pearl, this nesting cocktail kit features a vintage style shield logo on the front of the drum that adds a great touch of class.  The 10″x8″ rack tom, pedal, and hardware fit inside the main 16″x24″ nesting cocktail drum.  The special order 13″x6″ snare resides in it’s own case, for an easy one-trip load in.  Radio King style lugs compliment the vintage style finish for a timeless package, check it out:

Steam Bent 1-Ply in Natural Satin Lacquer

by Dennis
October 28th, 2011

With a tone that’s warm, organic and highly desirable, the Steam Bent kits are also a joy to look at.  This set shows off the grain of the 1-ply maple with a simple satin lacquer finish complimented by Radio King style chrome hardware and matching chrome-wrapped maple bass hoops.  The sizes include 10″x7.5″ and 12″x7.5″ rack toms, 14″x14″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, and a 20″x16″ bass drum.  A versatile setup that’s getting a workout with drummer Lemuel Hayes.   Check it out:

Black Label jazz kit in light Birds Eye with Abalone inlays

by Dennis
October 25th, 2011

This Black Label set recently came back through the shop on it’s way to a new owner.  The finish was freshened up and the beautiful results can be seen below.  At the core are the 100% maple 8-ply shells in a 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 20″x16″.  A veneer of light Birds Eye Maple and a 1/4″ strip of Abalone are protected beneath many layers of a perfect satin lacquer for a stunning, yet subtle finish.  Radio King style hardware and heavy duty spurs complete the package, for a “retro-mod” style kit.  The best of what’s old combined with the best of what’s new, in a very classy package.  Check it out:

A Modern Cocktail Kit in classic White Marine Pearl

by Dennis
June 3rd, 2010

This unique cocktail kit features a modern vibe with it’s offset-woofer construction of the main drum and larger tom/snare sizes, but a classic White Marine Pearl finish and Radio King style lugs to keep the vintage vibe going.  The main cocktail drum consists of an 18″x16″ main bass and 18″x8″ floor tom/woofer suspended above it.  The snare is a 12″x6″ with more room for brush work over our smaller sizes, and the 12″x7″ tom offers a deeper tone more inline with the 18″ drum.  This was a special build for Slick of 3-Speed, click here to check out their website, and scroll down to check out a pic of this monster in action:

Vintage style “Big Band” kit, with the HCL bass system installed…

by Dennis
January 20th, 2010

We first began producing the HCL bass system in early 2008 with great results and positive reviews from drummers near and far.  The HCL system is based on the Haskell theory of sound waves, providing a drum that acts as both a small bass drum and a large woofer, and is tuned for optimal low-end response.  The 20″ Batter head on the 28″ bass is positioned to provide the same pedal feel and response as a 22″ bass drum.  To learn more about the system visit the Innovations page at PhattieDrums.com by clicking here.

This kit was created to capture the feel of a Big Band kit from the era when Radio Kings and Rolling Bombers were the drums of choice.  The toms are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 16″x16″, each with inlayed wood hoops.  The bass is a 28″ HCL system, and the snare 14″x7″ with single-flanged hoops.  Pre-Aged White Pearl and Radio King lugs round out the package for an exceptionally classy setup.
