A little something to brighten up your weekend

by Dennis
December 18th, 2010

Here’s something worth making a weekend post about: A 7-piece Clear Acrylic Phattie kit with full DMX controls.  This kit features 10″x8″ and 12″x8″ rack toms, 14″x14″, 15″x14″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, a 20″x18″ bass and a 13″x7″ snare (not pictured).   Built using RCI clear acrylic shells and brushed-satin hardware, this kit delivers in both sounds and looks.  The ultra low-profile LED install was designed, wired, and installed in-house for maximum brightness while keeping an almost invisible presence when not in-use.  Once the kit is setup with stands and cymbals, you’ve got no idea what’s coming until it powers up!  Check out the video for a full sampling of the different flashing/fading/chasing/crazy colors that are possible:

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:

Phattie 12″x7″ Puzzle Snare with ZoomQ3 sample

by Dennis
December 8th, 2010

This cool little 12″x7″ Phattie snare features our exclusive Puzzle Glass Glitter wrap under chrome full-length tube lugs and 2.3mm hoops. The shell is a thin 6-ply maple with Evans HD batter head and bronze snare wires. The result is a very articulate drum with a ton of pop, and very few overtones. Check out the raw ZoomQ3 sample to hear what the Phattie bearing edge is all about.

True-Gold glass gliter inlays in a perfect brown satin…

by Dennis
December 2nd, 2010

This rockin’ set of Phatties featured a unique finish that is subtle but still head turning.  The brown satin lacquer has two stripes of True Gold glass glitter inlaid directly under the tube lugs, the contrast looks great against the black chrome hardware all around.  The shells and specs are standard Phattie Classic series, featuring a 13″x9″ rack tom with optimount, 16″x16″ floor tom, and 24″x18″ bass.   A Fiberskyn head on the bass really pulls the look together on this one, check it out:
