My New C&C Custom kit - in Progress (more to come)

I haven't been here for a while and I apologize. A heavy schedule has kept me away for some time. I am happy to report I now have an endorsement with C&C Custom Drums.

OK... I know this is just a picture of my shells. But, I wanted to share my excitement for my new kit. C&C sends me updated pictures of my kit in production and this is the first one I received. This is right before staining.

The kit specs will be: Flat black with marine pearl inlays and tube lugs. The snare finish is up to them and is going to be a complete surprise when I pick them up. The sizes are 9"x12" mounted tom, 14"x16" floor tom, 16"x24" kick and 6.5"x14" snare (their 6 ply re-ring snares.)

More pictures to come and when I pick up the finished product; I PROMISE to take some pics before I leave on tour (which is coming up quicker than I expected). I PROMISE!!! I know we all love drum "porn", well I do.

Cheers mates!

wow man endorsed by c.c. drums congratulations by far my favorite custom drum builders, cant wait to see the finished product, the wait must be tough.
 
The wait is awful in so many ways. First off it will be an awesome kit that will sound amazing, second some of my friends are already leaving or have left on tour with their new C&C kits for the spring schedule and third I get to hear my friend's kits mic'ed live and I just drool over how fantastic they sound. C&C Custom Drums has been so good to me and I am very proud to say I endorse their drums.

p.s. zepplin92 thanks for recognizing how insanely excited I am to get my hands on these drums.
 
very nice deal and drums, any links to your band? also do you know if C&C offers Stave kits?

The drums look pretty good naked!

I am betting those cutout stripes are going to be abalone inlay....

Cool!

So far so good! C n C are making some classy kits. Expensive, but classy.
 
I fell in love with the green abalone 6"x14" snare. Derek Grant's new snare was pretty sweet as well. I think it was 8"x14". Did you happen to check out the lace finish C&C did? WOW!
 
Just got this last night from C&C.

Here is my kit being stained flat black along with a few others. Oh yeah and Jake with his iPhone.

congrats on the endorsement that's awesome!

That kit is looking great can't wait to see it with the inlays, as I'm sure you can't wait either ;-)


how cool they send you pics of the build!
 
The guys at C&C are AMAZING!!!! Without blabbering on and on about how well they treat me; the last sentence sums it up. HUGE THANKS to JC, Jake and Bill.
 
Yet another update from C&C. Ready for hardware. The inlays look sweet. I can't wait to see them in person. The snare finish is still a surprise. So, the excitement builds as they reach completion.

Very nice. The inlays are very tasteful and bring a lot of attention to the drum. Which, of course, is what life is all about.
