Mango's Champagne Sparkle Kit

John, can I send pics of my kit to you and get you to post them? Maybe, I can get my wife to take them tomorrow. Thanks, Mangorockfish

--------------------------

The main drum is 14X24 the snare is 12X5 and the tom is 10X8. Dennis at Phattie built them for me using old style Pearl type lugs to match the ones on the old Pearl concert toms I already had, which are 6 & 8". They are all covered in Champagne sparkle which my wife picked out. All the mounts, brackets, and arms are Gibralter. The main drum also has four legs rather than the usual three.

Future plans call for a dual snare setup on the main drum and maybe a baffle.
Thanks again,
Rocky

Pictures and description added!

The kit looks fantastic! With that setup I'll bet it is pretty comfortable playing sitting down.

Great job

Very cool looking set

I like the concert tom setting very much.

I think it's look even better with a Cable Hi-Hat!

Check out Dinkus' website for a great discussion and cool photos on setting up cable-operated high hats with a cocktail drum. Just go to this website, scroll down, and click on Remote Hi Hat.
