CS-Micro Compact Nesting (3 of 5)
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 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. The 8-ply/2.3mm hooped version 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 and a new "Unreal" one-headed snare with wires under the head. It's SHOCKING how big these drums sound! 6x10, 7x13, 8x16; plied maple; satin wax.
