Today’s drum is a 14″x7″ Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare that recently made it’s way to Australia. The Sounds Like Art snares feature stave-construction shells out of various woods, and detailed 3D carvings that set them apart from anything else. This snare features a maple shell nearly 1″ thick, for a tight sound with lots of projection and cut. The 7″ depth makes sure the drum still has a lot of body and a thick sound to it, so it’s not just the cut/attack you hear. Black chrome hardware, a black Trick strainer, and custom ordered Evans heads round out this package for an awesome look, check it out:

Effective today all new orders will have a lead time of between 10 and 16 weekends, depending on the style of build. Wrapped drums from the Phattie Classic Series, wrapped Black Label drums, and Cocktail drums will ship in 10 to 12 weeks. Phattie Acrylic drums will ship within 14 weeks, and Phattie Hybrid kits will ship within 16 weeks. Custom lacquers, exotic finishes, and extremely custom builds will be quoted on an individual basis. We’d like to thank everyone who has helped make this a great year so far, and forced us to extend lead times despite the economic down turn. What a great problem to have!
In other news, here’s a solid rosewood Sounds Like Art Series I drum we recently retrofit with solid brass tube lugs for a customer. She’s a beauty:
