Nice Cocktail we just shipped

[Metrodrum]

Here's a Black Crushed Glass Glitter kit we just shipped out to a customer...

Came out really sweet, man those 8" toms sing!!!


Not a glamour shot, It was taken in our front office

Metro!

Nice work. It looks like both toms are 8 inches (smart move to conserve space) but one is much deeper. How do they sound? Any samples? Specs on everything?

The lugs look really silly.

Diggin' the finish, but it sure looks like you guys were pretty short on cymbals if you were forced to use that one...

Well, I shouldn't judge I guess. This could be a death metal cocktail kit for all I know.

Hey... nothing wrong with death metal cocktail drums!!

Seriously, just threw an 18" up there to get some big crashes! ;-)

The two toms are sized at 8 diameter by 6 deep for the high rack tom, and 8 x 12 for the
"mid" floor tom - they sound wonderful, and as usual- head selection make all the difference in the world on them.

Myself I prefer a double film on the top, Remo Pinstripe or a Emperor, or Evan G2's, with a G1, or similar on the resonant side.

The 8 x 12 is a wicked sounding drum, we're working on getting some audio / video on
the site soon.

As for the Lugs, beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder... I stay away from tube lugs
myself....

Here's another one we got done...

[Deathmetalconga]

Really beautiful drums. Specs on the main drum? What sort of mounting?

I like your lugs personally. Where do you get them.

[Metrodrum]

Hey -

we buy our shells directly from Keller, ( we are in Mass, they are in NH- less than an hour away ) - We use the 10 ply, Maple VSS shells for the main drum, and most often the 6 ply ( altho sometimes 8 ply for toms ) - depending on the size - we've been doing a lot of
our new "tall boy" toms - 8 dia by upto 14 deep - really interesting pitch changes and you can get quite a low frequency response using the right combo of heads.

The Lugs are available at most of the drum wholesalers, we generally order in bulk, as the supply can be spotty on these ( the whole demand during lead time thing )
