October has featured a number of beautiful kits, and I’m happy to send out the month on a very high note!  This unique set of Phattie Drums features a deep purple stain with a Kandy black burst topped in a high gloss lacquer.  Under the beautiful clear coat is a 1/4″ silver leaf inlay that compliments the chrome hardware perfectly.  The sizes include 10″x8″, 12″x9″, and 14″x10″ rack toms, 16″x14″ floor tom, 22″x18″ bass and a matching 14″x6.5″ snare.  Custom touches include chrome Pearl Optimounts, 1/4″ silver leaf inlay, diecast hoops on the snare and tear-drop style lugs all around.  Check it out:

With a tone that’s warm, organic and highly desirable, the Steam Bent kits are also a joy to look at.  This set shows off the grain of the 1-ply maple with a simple satin lacquer finish complimented by Radio King style chrome hardware and matching chrome-wrapped maple bass hoops.  The sizes include 10″x7.5″ and 12″x7.5″ rack toms, 14″x14″ and 16″x14″ floor toms, and a 20″x16″ bass drum.  A versatile setup that’s getting a workout with drummer Lemuel Hayes.   Check it out:
