I guess if you get bored with one finish you just turn your head and stare at a different tom for a while.
This one had to have been re-wrapped, I doubt C&C would let that out of their factory ?
I believe this was during their abalone phase. They did have some striking kits, but this is probably not one they put in the catalogue. Seems a little put together.

Still, that wrap job seems pretty patchy.
Knowing C&C, I doubt this is factory installed.
This may be cute or interesting for a bit, but I know I would grow very tired of soon. My taste is no better or worse than any one elses, but unless that is a NAMM sell kit, I don't think so.Weren't these like ridiculously expensive when they came out? Seems like I remember wincing at the price tag when I first saw them.
I think jellybean kits are really cool, but there's something about the Spaun posted by the OP I don't like. Maybe it's the mix 'n match hardware that makes it so ugly. Maybe if all of the hardware was white powder coat or just chrome it'd look better.
Pork Pie did one called "clown puke" that I like.
Raymond Loewy used to Say : ugliness doesn't sell well.
It's kind of true there. Over personallized drum kit with funky wrap, or stupid sizes (shallow toms and over deep bass)... won't fit many drummer, and won't sound good either...
I theorized it’s because you have relatively new drummers not thinking long term about WHERE they’d be playing their drums down the road and they realize they need a more conservative look and end up dumping their masterpieces.
I brought this exact same thing up in another thread on why the second hand market of DW Collectors drums was saturated with weird sizes and finishes.

I remember this thread !
I posted a situation I tumbled in : an interesting ad for a second hand DW collector, at a correct price. Black oyster : nice ; 24 13 16 : very nice, but in detail the bass drum was a huge 24x20 ! a big downer isn't it ?

Two inches shorter on that bass drum and I would have bought them!
Here we don't have big cars and big houses :-D.
Whaaaaa ?
It's all about castles and bentleys over there, no ?
