Aged/Distressed Copper Dragon Snare

by Dennis
June 29th, 2011

This 14″x7″ dragon snare features a unique multi-layer finishing process that gives it a perfectly worn finish.  Black-chrome tube lugs, color-matched hoops, a 1″ thick maple shell, and a Trick GS007 strainer round it out for a killer look & sound.  Check it out:

14″x5″ Sounds Like Art Dragon in Steel Blue

by Dennis
June 13th, 2011

The 14″x5″ Dragon Snare is a fresh new size for 2011.  This is the first one to leave the shop featuring 2.3mm hoops and the sound was spot-on, nice and crisp with beefy rim shots.  The finish is a steel-blue stain with high gloss lacquer that really pulls out the detail of the carving and contrasts well with the black hardware.  Check it out:

Beautiful High Gloss Phattie in manly sizes…

by Dennis
June 8th, 2011

Big is beautiful!  Todays kit features a 13″x12″ rack tom, 16″x14″ and 18″x16″ floor toms, and a 26″x14″ bass.  All Phattie 100% maple specs with black hardware and a high gloss lacquered paint job.  Aside from being silky smooth with a mirror like reflection this finish is also entirely water based.   Less solvents and pollution go into the air, and the final finish buffs out to an amazing shine.  The black-chrome hardware looks great against the custom mixed deep blue stain, check it out:

Dragon Snare with a touch of gold

by Dennis
May 27th, 2011

Recently displayed at the 2011 Chicago Drum Show, this beautiful Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare turned a lot of heads.  This model features a 14″x7″ maple shell finished in dark emerald green stain topped with a light brushing of gold.  The protective clear coat is a semi-gloss satin lacquer, and black plated hardware rounds out this drum so it looks just as good as it sounds.  The gold features a light metallic shimmer that accents the depth and detail of the wood carving, check it out:
