The drummer for the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Bernie Dresel, sometimes plays with a custom DW C0CKTAIL set. It has a traditional main 24x16 drum with a 10" tom on the right and a 13" snare on the left. Other than the custom blue sparkle with flames finish this set is pretty much standard. You can see it at www.briansetzer.com. Just go to the gallery and it's in the pic in the 7th row 2nd from the right. (Right above Brian's flaming '32 Ford) It's not a great pic but you get the idea. If you're really interested pick up the Brian Setzer Orchestra "Live from Japan" DVD, Bernie uses it on the tunes "Mystery Train" and "Gene & Eddie." Before Bernie had DW make the set he used a '50s WFL WMP set. I could probably find some links to pics of that set but I forget where they are.<br>

That brain Setzer DVD is amazing.Its the first time I had seen a cocktail kit being played and I loved it. The 2 songs he uses it on are fantastic, the band are just having so much fun and all 3 are such great musicians.

Needless to say I have just ardered a cockatil kit and it should arrive in a week or two.
