Friday Flashback! Cocktail Drum Extravaganza…

by Dennis
July 30th, 2010

The other afternoon I was looking for a file, and came across a folder of some really early cocktail drum builds. Most of these are from 2000 and 2001, when things were just starting to take off. You can see how the cocktail drums have evolved, and what they have become by checking out CocktailDrumsets.com for the latest and greatest. Here’s your old-school Friday Flashback, check it out…

Phase One of the artists page is up! Visit it here, or click the link above. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll continue to add artists to the list, and I’ll be adding videos, interviews, photos, gear specs, and more as time allows. Check it out and see who’s playing Phattie, Black Label, Cocktail, or Sounds Like Art drums.

Pre-Aged Marine Pearl on a killer 13″x7″ Phattie Snare

by Dennis
July 26th, 2010

This Phattie snare features a Pre-Aged Marine Pearl finish, a beautiful finish that looks just a little creamier than White Marine Pearl, for a classy appearance.  The 10-Ply maple shell combined with the deep 13″x7″ size sounds incredible when tuned up into the higher ranges.  Very tight & articulate sound, but with plenty of body and oomph.  A Trick strainer completes the package, as part of our push to use American made components whenever possible.  Check it out:

Friday Flashback! Rootbeer Sparkle Lacquer

by Dennis
July 23rd, 2010

This Friday Flashback features a beautiful rock setup in a Rootbeer Sparkle Lacquer finish.  Dating from sometime in early 2006, this kit features a 13″x9″, 16″x16″, 18″x16″, 26″x18″ and a matching 14″x8″ snare.  The finish is an automotive lacquer featuring House of Kolor Kandy over a base made from heavy silver flakes, and is absolutely stunning under the lights.  Our unique PhatRat lug with polished brass inserts compliments the finish perfectly, check it out:

Classy Black Label setup in True Gold Glass, headed north…

by Dennis
July 21st, 2010

This kit is on the way to our friend Jay who runs Blueberry Hill Bass.  Blueberry Hill specializes in finding the most talented, skilled, and experienced luthiers and connecting them with bass players looking for a unique world-class instrument.  I like to think that Jay’s exceptional taste in bass guitars also applies to drums, and look forward to the feedback on this beauty.  This kit features a 13″x9″ rack tom, 16″x16″ floor, and 22″x16″ bass.  Custom features include regular key-rods on the bass (vintage t-handles are standard on Black Labels), 2.3mm hoops for a fatter sound, and a Fiberskyn resonant head with 6″ Holz and custom Black Label logo.  Check it out:
