Dennis — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:20:21 +0000

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:

Featuring a 10-ply Maple VSS shell, this snare had a great combination of body and attack. The 12″x7″ and 12″x8″ snares have been pretty popular lately, with their blend of small diameter and depth. Tuned up nice and high they provide quick articulation for fast playing, and a deeper sound than a traditional piccolo snare. This particular one features a red sparkle wrap with gloss black inlays, black-chrome hardware, and full-length tube lugs. Red and black, always a classy combo:

Here’s a conversion project we recently finished up, creating a rare sized bass drum. It’s a Ludwig 17 inch field drum/tenor from 1971, converted to a little jazz/bop bass drum. Building the 17 inch bass hoops was a challenge, but the end result is great. Check it out:
