I have been playing music for a long time, but I play bass, so I have an appreciation and a sense of drums but I certainly fall into the rookie category
You can use a stool to play it also, or position it near a wall to lean against, like in the corner of a stage. But it can get tiring after s 1/2 hours or so
My left leg couldn't take the standing for any real length of time. My hip & back just couldn't do it. I got to see Bernie Dressel rock one of these with Brian Setzer once & even he had a hard time.
Very innovative though. Shorten the Floor kick & find a way to make it work seated and I'm all over it.
@MrYeswecan14 Remo does lots of partnerships with drum companies to supply heads with an additional logo of the brand of drums. If you see a Gretsch kit with a Remo head, it doesn't mean the drum is a Remo. Don't be an idiot.
Yes, I still have it and use it a lot. I love the sound too. I know these cost about $650 excluding cymbals, but I bought it for about half that from someone who bought it and never even opened it. It was brand new. You will like it, I guarantee it.
Do you still love your kit? I am thinking of buying the same exact one this week. Also, do you mind telling me what you paid? Trying to get a bearing on a fair price.
Not really because there is actually a 1" thick rubber pad on the top head of the bass drum which dampens the bass drum and doesn't interfere with the snare. Unless you really play hard, it works pretty well.
Nice kit man! they sound pretty fine as well , they seem to have a more open 60s sound which is good becasue of the smaller config! The finish is great to ...can you tell me if you can get them ina beatles Ringo black oyster type finish!
They are not metal but metallic mirror wrapped wood drums. Most of the cocktail drums have a small side snare that does not sound very good. The full size snare makes all the difference. The vintage ones sound good but need a baffle between the heads. they are stand up drums but you can sit on a bar stool to play it also.

Seems like you would always have a snare feedback problem with this configuration.

Question, are the drums metal or is that a metallic wrap? It looks pretty nice. Been looking into getting a cocktail kit.

I believe you pour it into the drum somewhere but I haven't figured it out yet.
I assume stirred with the drumsticks :)

I see the drum but I'm not seeing the cocktail. Is it shaken, not stirred?
