OOH! OOH! These are SUPERCOOL!! Inspired by a customer's desire for the smallest, lightest way to play a great kit at a jazz gig, these sizes showed themselves to check off all the boxes! The mounted nests into the floor, they both nest into the bass. Ever the experimentalist, I decided to make two: one with 8-ply shells & 2.3mm hoops (this drumset) and another with 6-ply shells & 1.6mm hoops just to get an idea of how different/same they sound and to see how far apart they'd be on the scale. This one weighs in at 21.9 lbs for the three nested drums, versus 18 lbs for the 6-ply/1.6mm hooped version! Oh, and I worked up a couple of optional 12" snare drums that match -- a "Real" snare (shown with this drumset) and a new "Unreal" one-headed snare with wires under the head. It's SHOCKING how big these drums sound! 6x10, 7x13, 8x16, 3¾x12; plied maple; satin wax.
