Offset Stripes, Offset Lugs & A Unique Finish

This custom wrap was a specialty made item that we may have to reorder it is so cool. It can be available for any color or wrap type. It consists of a solid black base with a 30% satin sheen topcoat with a hint of metallic, so it is not completely a matte finish and the metallic hint adds a bit of silvery glisten and contains a unique scratch resistance. Each drum has an offset red glass glitter stripe that is tightly butted up against the black and with a proportionately sized stripe per drum size. Tying the whole kit together, we added internal red glass on the inside of both bass drum hoops while we stained the wood edges with all black satin stain. Our all black nickel hardware fits perfectly, including 50% offset mini 1″ tube lugs, 2.3mm triple flanged hoops, pro spurs, heavy duty hinged brackets, 12″ DSS mount, and matching die cast claws. This Standard Series maple kit has a thunderous 20×24″ kick, 9×12″ tom, and a 16×16″ floor. A very cool kit for Mic Rawls who is already hitting the streets with his 3 bands.


Wood Hooped Kit Over Aged White Marine Pearl

This kit looks exactly as it sounds; classic and sweet. It has a nice warm tone from the thin maple shells and that classic old school sound with the wood hoops. A 4pc Standard Series Maple kit in aged white marine pearl with wood hoops in Tomacco satin stain with matching inlays. This is a great example of our Hide-a-head hoops that sit over the head collar instead of on the collars like bass drum hoops. All chrome hardware with chrome over solid brass 50% offset mini 1” tube lugs, rounded butterfly claws, pro spurs, DSS suspension mounts, heavy duty brackets and a Trick multi step throwoff. The matching Remo Fiberskyn front logo bass drum fits the theme perfectly. Sizes include 16×20” kick, 7×10” tom, 8×12” tom, 14×14” floor tom, and a 5.5×14″ snare.


6.5×13″ White Marine Pearl

A very popular size for all styles of music when you require a more focused “pop” than what you get out of a typical 14″ snare. This Standard Series 8ply maple shell coupled with this size creates a well balanced open tone with a tighter snap but plenty of depth. Great for a main snare, or in this case for Don Updike, a great addition to anyone’s snare collection. Professionally wrapped in White Marine Pearl with all chrome hardware, including full length tube lugs, a RCK throwoff, and 2.3mm triple flanged hoops.

We dressed this kit with 1″ mini tube lugs, DSS suspension mount, heavy duty round brackets, pro spurs, and 2.3mm triple flanged hoops. The snare drum has full length tube lugs x10, 2.3mm triple flanged hoops, and a Nickelworks throwoff with German brass snare wires.
