Friday Flashback! Deep Blue Satin Burst over maple…

This Friday Flashback kit goes way back to late 2003, and is a set of Phattie Classic Series that featured a smooth deep blue-to-black burst.  The sizes were 8″x7″, 10″x8″, 12″x9″, and 14″x14″, with a beefy 24″x18″ bass.  All with chrome tear-drop lugs and Pearl BT3 style suspension mounts.  Great looking kit…if it happens to be your kit now, send in some action photos!

Burnt Sienna Phatties, with matching wood hoops…

This drop dead gorgeous kit features our popular Burnt Sienna burst with satin lacquer top coats.  The finish extends onto the Yamaha-style wood hoops for a smooth look, and really sets this kit apart from the off-the-shell alternatives.  The sizes are 12″x7″ rack tom with Chrome Optimount, 14″x12″ floor tom with legs, and a 22″x20″ bass with a custom Phattie logo on the head.  The heads are Remo Black Suede Ambassadors, the perfect compliment to the beautiful finish, check it out:

Friday Flashback, a funky Orange Satin Lacquer set of Phatties…

This Friday Flashback dates from early 2003…geeze time flies!  This kit included 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″, and 16″ hanging toms and a 22″ bass, all finished in a bright orange satin lacquer with black hardware.  This was also one of the first kits that rocked our new Phattie logo in the bubble-badge that we used until switching to the chrome-plated badges.  The matching orange Phattie logo on the bass was a nice touch, check it out:

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, some detail shots…

Several Dragon Snares shipped out this week, all 14″x7″ with Maple shells.  This one has our “Scorched Maple” finish with all chrome hardware.  The shell is just a hair under 1″ thick and is made using stave construction before carving.  The result is an amazing piece of art that has an perfect blend of attack and warmth.  Check out these close-ups of the detail that goes into construction:
