StarGlow Acrylic Custom Phattie Set

by Dennis
November 14th, 2011

A beautiful example of StarGlow acrylic, this one comes with a video sample so you can check how smooth and even the glow of our low profile LED systems are.  The drums are standard Phattie Acrylic specs: dual 45 degree bearing edges with a smooth contact patch, solid brass tube lugs, Gauger Alloy RIMS mounts, Evans heads, etc.  The sizes include 10″x10″, 12″x11″, and 13″x12″ hanging toms, 22″x18″ bass and 14″x7″ snare drum.  This custom LED install includes double-density LED’s and a custom controller that offers independent control of individual channels.  The final result is a smooth looking kit, with or without the lights on.  Check it out:

Phattie Hybrid Kit, Black Glass over Starglow Acrylic

by Dennis
September 29th, 2011

Today’s kit is a sharp looking set of Phattie Hybrids.  StarGlow acrylic centers combined with our LED lighting provide for an awesome effect against the black glass glitter and black hardware.  The sizes on this custom setup include 8″x8″, 10″x8″, and 12″x8″ rack toms, 14″x14″ and 18″x16″ floor toms and a thumping 22″x20″ bass drum.  Pearl Optimounts were used on the rack toms, and custom machined to fit Yamaha tom brackets that were powder coated black to match.   Other custom touches include a full DMX controller with built-in light board, black Gauger Alloy RIMS cradles, a deep-dish front bass hoop, and Phattie Custom Shop badges placed discreetly so they don’t interfere with the light show.  Smooth kit that looks killer when the lights go down, check it out:

Funky Phattie Hybrid for Friday

by Dennis
March 18th, 2011

Sometimes a color combo comes out even sweeter than I’d hoped!  This hybrid mashes a purple acrylic center with red sparkle and looks killer.  Specs: 14″x6″, 10-ply maple sections with a 1/4″ thick acrylic center, solid brass tube lugs, Trick GS007 strainer, puresound wires, all the standard goodies.  Good way to start off the Friday:

A little something to brighten up your weekend

by Dennis
December 18th, 2010

Here’s something worth making a weekend post about: A 7-piece Clear Acrylic Phattie kit with full DMX controls.  This kit features 10″x8″ and 12″x8″ rack toms, 14″x14″, 15″x14″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, a 20″x18″ bass and a 13″x7″ snare (not pictured).   Built using RCI clear acrylic shells and brushed-satin hardware, this kit delivers in both sounds and looks.  The ultra low-profile LED install was designed, wired, and installed in-house for maximum brightness while keeping an almost invisible presence when not in-use.  Once the kit is setup with stands and cymbals, you’ve got no idea what’s coming until it powers up!  Check out the video for a full sampling of the different flashing/fading/chasing/crazy colors that are possible:
