Phatties with a Emerald Satin Burst, Brushed Hardware

by Dennis
July 25th, 2011

This striking set of Phattie’s features a deep emerald green satin lacquer with an airbrushed burst that carries over onto the custom wood hoops.  A brushed satin finish on the hardware is the perfect compliment to the satin lacquer.  Sizes include a 12″x9″ rack tom, 14″x14″ and 16″x16″ floor toms, a 22″x20″ bass, and a matching 14″x6″ snare drum.  All drums feature claw-style wood hoops that give them a huge, deep, and warm sound.  Great sizes, great finish, and an overall vibe that won’t be going out of style.  Check it out:

by Dennis
March 28th, 2011

With the recent Top Hat & Cane kit, we took it back to the 40′s with the finish and the 50′s with the hardware.  Today we step back another decade to the late 20′s and mid 30′s with a true Trap Kit style build.  Built with the goal of capturing the sound and style of the era with modern touches that make it tour-ready.  The sizes include a 14″x5″ main snare, 14″x12″ field drum/snare, 16″x14″ floor tom/cocktail drum, 22″x10″ bass, and an 11″ traditional Chinese tom.  The long list of custom touches includes pre-aged and inlaid wood hoops, an original 1920′s/1930′s Ludwig wood block, a clip-on tom mount, reproduction 3-point style strainers, low-boy hihat stand and much more.  For a full run-down of all the features check out this kit-tour video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LolMfua4mGw Check it out:

Avett Brothers ring in the new year on their new Black Labels

by Dennis
January 3rd, 2011

Happy New Year! Lets kick it off with some exciting news: The Avett Brothers took delivery of their new kit just in time for the sold-out New Years Eve show in Asheville, and are now rockin’ an awesome set of Black Label drums. A heavy vintage vibe was desired from this setup, both to compliment the sound and the aesthetics of their style. The result is a Black Label kit featuring 13″x9″ and 16″x16″ wood-hooped toms, a 22″x14″ bass, and a 14″x6.5″ snare. Finish is a custom mixed blend of reds and browns to create a very old-school mahogany, and the hoops have a deep amber and tobacco mix on them to give that aged vibe. Lugs are Radio King reproductions with a brushed satin nickel style finish, and coated heads were used top and bottom to get that really warm old-school sound. Even the Silver Glass Glitter inlay on the bass hoops was pre-aged and features no gloss, a perfect match to the hardware and hoops.

There couldn’t be a better way to kick off the New Year, so say hello to the Avett Brothers, Jacob Edwards on drums, on their new Black Label setup:

Peacock Pearl Cocktail…or is it a weird convertible kit?

by Dennis
September 29th, 2010

This unique cocktail was created for euGENE Wendell, and is one of the more unique and versatile cocktail kits I’ve done recently.  The finish is a rare and discontinued Peacock Pearl, I was able to snag the last few sheets from a friend in Nashville, just enough to make this versatile setup.  The main cocktail drum features a 18″x16″ main drum with an 18″x8″ woofer attached.  The tom is a 13″x9″ with custom built wood hoops, and the snare is a 13″x6″ with diecast hoops.  The list of custom touches includes Phattie badges, a Dunnett R-Class strainer with quick-release snare change ability, DW/Dunnett quick release spurs for setting up the main cocktail drum as a kick drum, and XLR jacks installed in each drum for internal mic’ing.  Lots of cool setup possibilities with this kit, check out the photos for just a couple:
