Distressed Acid-Etched Copper on a 14″x7″ Phattie Snare

by Dennis
December 5th, 2011

The latest addition to the Copper Collection is this dark “Distressed Acid Etched” finish.  Featuring black undertones with shiny streaks of copper between them,  it has a much more earthy and dark look than the Blue-Etched and Drip-Etched finishes.  Featuring a 10-ply maple shell in our popular 14″x7″ size, this Phattie snare sounds as good as it looks.  Black plated hardware, a Trick GS007 strainer, Puresound wires and solid-brass tube lugs make for a stunning package.  Check it out:

Cocktail Drum Set with a Puzzling Glass Glitter

by Dennis
October 10th, 2011

This unique Cocktail kit was built with a number of custom touches.  If it looks familiar, then you’re thinking about this Phattie set we built earlier in the year.  Our exclusive Puzzle Glass Glitter, a matching shade of blue powder coated hardware, 7/8 offset tube lugs, a Trick GS007 strainer upgrade, and custom laser engraved wooden badges make this Deluxe Cocktail Kit a true one-of-a-kind.  If a cocktail kit wasn’t unique enough to begin with, this is one that would be hard to miss.  Check it out:

Phattie 13″x7″ White Sparkle with black accents & hardware

by Dennis
September 14th, 2011

The 13″x7″ has recently become one of our most popular sizes. The slightly smaller diameter with a little more depth makes for a great sounding blend of attack and depth. This one has the good looks to keep up with the sound, featuring a white sparkle wrap with black gloss inlays. Black hardware with 50% offset lugs are the perfect compliment for a smooth modern look.

Steam Bent 14″x7″ Maple Snare Drum, Paua Abalone Inlays

by Dennis
September 13th, 2011

Another drum that doubles as a beautiful work of art has rolled out of the shop!  This 14″x7″  snare drum sounds every bit as good as it looks, featuring a 1-ply maple shell with 1-ply reinforcement rings that support a wide bearing edge with a full round over.  1-Ply steam bent hoops are the perfect upgrade and give the drum a nice fat sound and a timeless look.  Custom touches include 1/4″ Paua Abalone inlays in the center of the shell and both wood hoops, brushed-satin finished hardware and matching stainless steel fasteners all around.  A Dunnett R4 strainer with quick-release, Evans heads, and Puresound wires complete this package.  Check it out:

Nesting Cocktail Kit with some Custom Shop touches

by Dennis
September 12th, 2011

Today’s Nesting Cocktail Kit features some touches from the Custom Shop that turn it into a real head turner.  Sizes include the standard 10″x6″ snare, 10″x8″ rack tom, and 16″x24″ cocktail drum.  Custom touches include a beautiful Burnt Sienna satin lacquer with a light fade that continues onto the yamaha-style wood hoops.  The nearly seamless nesting feature blends right into the finish, and tube lugs replace the usual Radio King style lugs for a modern vibe.  Check out the last photo for the contour cut spacers used on the floor tom leg brackets, airbrushed to match the fade on the shell.  It’s all about the details, and this setup pulls them together into a beautiful package that fits into one bag.
