Tell us about that new kit, it looks great!

“All drums are 6mm seamless cast acrylic except for the bass drum which is 8mm, black nickel hoops, Chequerplate stainless steel C-Thru lugs.

“The lug is a unique design. The power is distributed to each lug through the hoops.

“It requires very low power and can be powered off a 9V battery. We run 12V so the LEDs are slightly brighter. We’re working on a system now to have different colours and colour-changing schemes.

“We give this kit to our lighting guy and via DMX he can fade it and control it. It’s opening up a whole new bunch of possibilities. We’ve done a similar concept with the rack and cymbal accent lights too.

“We’ve launched a website, where you can find out more.”
