Phattie 14″x12″ Marching Snare

by Dennis
May 4th, 2011

Beefy and light weight aluminum tube lugs, laser engraved wooden badge and custom painted Yamaha style wood hoops make this drum the most unique marching snare we’ve done in a while.  The shell is a 14″x12″ 8-Ply maple finished in Pre-Aged Marine Pearl.  The beefy aluminum tube lugs are powder coated in a satin chrome style finish that goes well with the aluminum finish on the Trick GS007 strainer.  Yamaha style wood hoops finished in our Perfect Brown Satin Lacquer complete the sweet look and sound of this drum.  On the back of the drum there is also a d-ring and strap mounted for marching & playing.  Definitely a cool piece that’s going to get a lot of use, 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:

Phattie 14″x7″ in a custom Modern Sparkle wrap

by Dennis
March 14th, 2011

This sweet 14″x7″ 10-Ply maple Phattie features one of the coolest sparkle wraps around.  The “Modern Sparkle” style wrap features small metallic flakes that replicate the look of an automotive paint job.  A charcoal base color with silver and blue pinstripes compliments the black hardware nicely.  To help it perform just as good as it looks a Trick GS007 strainer, Evans batter head, Puresound wires, and Phattie bearing-edge come standard.  Check it out:

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, 13″x6.5″ with matching Wood Hoops

by Dennis
March 9th, 2011

There are several new Sounds Like Art snares in the works and being prototyped; Todays post features the first 13″x6.5″ Dragon Snare to roll out of the shop.  Featuring the popular Scorched Maple satin-lacquer finish, black hardware, Trick GS007, and wood hoops in a matching Scorched Maple finish, this drum has a seriously beefy sound for a 13″.  The shell is over 3/4″ thick at the bearing edges and combined with the wood hoops the rim shots are incredibly solid and thick sounding.  Couldn’t have asked for more out of the first 13″, check it out:

Steam-bent Purple Heart Phattie Snare

by Dennis
December 15th, 2010

Purple Heart is a unique wood that is very dense and has beautiful natural coloring.  These two features make it an ideal wood for building great snare drums.  The density of the wood combined with a nice rounded bearing edge and the die-cast hoops give this drum a thick rimshot that you can feel in your chest.  The natural coloring of the wood requires nothing but a satin clear coat to pull out it’s beauty, and black hardware to add to the contrast.  A stunning little snare drum, check it out:
