Hey there John<br>
Great website. I found it about a year and a half ago and was amazed that I had never seen a cocktail drum before.<br>
I've been playing (for fun) for about 24 years.<br>
So , after seeing your site I knew that I had to have one. I ordered one from the same company that made my regular drum set, <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.rocketshells.com">www.rocketshells.com</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> Rocketshells.<br>
<br>
We went with a vintage look, blue sparkle that I love. The drum is 14 x 24 and has a Powerstroke 3 on the bottom and a Fiberskyn 3 FA on the top. I keep experimenting with the heads though.<br>
<br>
The snare that I have on there now is a 4x8<br>
So far so good, and a blast to play.<br>
Thank you for opening my eyes to a great style of drumming.<br>

Ok.....you've pulled me out of Lurker mode...I'm one of those old-timer ctail kit lovers. I've toyed around with some of the old Slingerlands and Ludwigs and now have a 1967 Slingerland hybrid cocktail set called the 286.<br>
<br>
Cool kit!<br>
Just curious to get a little more info about the inside shell. Any baffles in the middle? <br>
Any type of muffler or snare brush on the top head?<br>
Are all the clamps the hook-oh LP type or did you drill for the snare clamp?<br>
Are the tuning lugs solid composite or is it some sort of unique lug there (my eyesight is failing :^))<br>
What sort of pedal and holder...is that a Yamaha?<br>
Cost? <br>
(I wasn't able to find any reference on the Rocketshell site....course that might be my crappy dial-up connection and it's inability to handle some Shockwave code)

Hey there Jeff,<br>
There are no baffles in the drum, the top head has no muffler or snare brush. It is strictly a tom and bass drum.<br>
The clamps that I am using right now are the LP type. They give me the most flexibility without having to drill holes.<br>
The lugs are made out of a carbon composite and are unique to Rocketshells drums. <br>
The pedal, I'm sorry to say, is made in Japan by pearl. The pedal holder is a no-name I bought off of e-bay.<br>
<br>
Feel free to email me with any further questions<br>
