Black Label Bop Kit in Vintage Gold Glass Glitter

by Dennis
November 30th, 2010

This smooth Black Label bop kit is enroute to it’s new home in Norway.  Featuring several custom touches that really lock in the vintage vibe, this kit sounded just as good as it looked.  The wrap is actual vintage gold glass glitter, made from a different type of crushed glass than the current glitters that are manufactured.  The result is a deeper shimmer under bright lights that looks amazing in person.  Vintage Gretsch-Style spurs, straight floor tom legs, Radio King style lugs, and die cast hoops compliment the finish perfectly on this one.  Sizes are 12″x8″, 14″x14″, and 18″x14″.  Check it out:

Here’s a sweet little 14″x7″ dragon snare that was recently custom ordered with die cast hoops.  The thick 1″ stave-style shell combined with the stiffer hoops really give this drum a nice crisp tone.  Here’s a few photos, and a Zoom Q3 sound clip of it.  Great sounding snare, check it out:

Steam bent 1-Ply maple sound clip…

Since posting up the beautiful Abalone Inlaid Steam-Bent 1-Ply maple set of Black Label drums, I’ve been hit with a ton of requests to hear a sound sample.  Local drummer Springs was happy to swing them back by to make a Zoom Q3 recording.  The drums are tuned up nice and low, with Ambassador X batters, and a Superkick II/Fiberskyn combo on the bass drum.  As with all our Zoom Q3 sound clips, there is no post-processing, this is the raw sound right off the camera.  There are several more 1-ply kits in the works right now, so check back for some samples tuned up a little higher.  In the mean time, check out this sample of the thunderous 13/16/26 setup:
