Hi everyone!

I'm having a kit built for me by Odery. They are a company out of Brazil who make incredible drums. They arent very well known in the states or readily available - YET. I thought Id post some progress pictures for all to enjoy, since we all crave constant drum porn

The kit: 20x20 / 8x7 / 10x8 / 12x9 / 14x12. The shells are made of 4ply Araucaria wood from the Brazilian rain forest. I am having them finished in radica (curly) maple with Italian inlays, brushed brass lugs with the rest of the hardware in chrome. I am having a custom fade Ive worked on with Odery called mocha imbui. The fade will be from the bottoms up to the inlay. The fade on the kick will be from the floor up, as opposed to starting from the front or back of the kick. Odery makes all of their own lugs, hardware and suspension systems. Should be a real peach of a kit. Here are some of the progress pics they have sent me so far. Ill add more as I get them.

Enjoy!

These are after the shells were made:





These are after the veneers and inlays have been applied. Next step is the fade lacquer:

Those are Italian inlays. They are different types of wood that make up a design. Completely for aesthetic value and does not affect the sound.

post more dam it steve! i was so close to finishing and u just cut me off! they're beautiful man, i love the inlay its one of those things that if it could talk would say "I know, im amazing, but u know... i try to play it down cause i try to be modest about it" And let me get this straight... the lugs are brass lugs, but the rims, etc in chrome? if so they will look awesome especially with the array of different colors in the timber and u dont really see it often. I think thats going to be one of the coolest kits i have ever seen when its done... looking forward to more of ur erotic posts

Greetings down under!

Erotic post??? Ha ha! That made my day!

As far as the the brass lugs chrome harware thing. Its all personal preference. To me, powder coated hardware sometimes just looks odd against the chrome of stands. I have a white kit with white powder coated hardware that looks cool to my eye. With this kit, Im going for the classy look. I think the brushed brass sits well against the grain of the wood and the fade Im having done (I ran a lot of different options in photoshop before making a final decision) By having the rims and all the other hardware in chrome, I think it will tie in with the chrome stands and be more aesthetically pleasing. Again, its my personal taste and preference. Others may not have gone the same route, but then they arent the ones smackin down the big $$$

I also decided at the last minute to have the kick cut back from a 20x20 to a 20x17. Got lots of input from all sorts of folks and it seems like I am making the right decision if I want a more versitile kick, which I do.

Here is one of the designs Ive done for the front drum head. Still waiting to get pics of the fade so I can make adjustments to the final colours. This design has an "erotic" component to it

I got the baby pic off the web, but photoshoped in the baby smiling, the colours and the images in the sunglasses. Some other subtle things as well.

I see you are from Rochester. If all goes well and Zen posts the logistics for the DRT, I may be bringin them to the DRT. I dont know what the criteria is for bringing kits to the thing.

Have you played the Oderys before? Ive only come across a very small handful of people who have actually played them and a few more who have seen them at trade shows. Im pretty stoked.

Yeah me too man. haha.

That would be amazing if you brought those to DRT. Just be careful getting them here!
I was lucky enough to play an odery snare. It was sooo nice. Crispy goodness.

I'm stoked for you dude

lol... thats one horny baby! so ur going to have chrome hoops, brass lugs & lug holders (whatever the proper name is) or just the lugs and the holders are going to be chrome? cause personally i would have the lug holders chrome so only the lugs are brass, but as u said, not my kit. And u better not be going soft on me steve (thats not a reference to our last posts about eroticism) what happened to wooden hoops!? u going for them on the snare if not... why not!?

also on what the last guy said... if i "happen" to go on holidays to America and we mysteriously are "looking" at this kit at the same time i shotgun the bass drum and floor tom cause at the moment my bass drum only has the capacity to hold 1 skin!

Ha ha - you guys are funny! Ill have to introduce you to my friends Smith & Wesson

Just the lugs are in brushed brass. Hoops, suspension system, spurs, everything else is on chrome. I did not order a snare at this time with the kit. I bought a Dunnett snare at the same time I ordered the kit. I will more than likely get a non-matching snare after I put some more gig money into the fun fund I am in between bands currently, so its going to be a little while. I think these new toys will hold me over. I have 5 snares now as it is and finally with the purchase of the Dunnett, I can cover pretty much any playing situation. I want to replace two of my signature crashes next.

Wood hoops. Ive only played one set with wood hoops before. It looks nice and sounds nice, but I couldnt justify the extra expense of the hoops. It would have added somewhere around another $1000 to the kit. Wood hoops sit a bit higher than triple flange hoops and that was another consideration.

I posted these pics in another thread, but in case you havent seen them, here are all my snares but the Pearl MLX:







Enjoy! Drum P O R N = yummmmmmmm

i've never seen a kit with only brass lugs, come to think of it i've never seen a drum with any brass on it in real life, but im imagining it and it is gonna be awesome! i can understand why u arfent getting wood hoops now, and i kinda ment on the snare but it didnt click with me that u werent getting a snare with it i was too busy absorbed in the inlay. What kind of cymbls are u getting to REPLACE signatures!? either u guys have too much crap or i dont have enough... probably the second one... i enjoy ur posts steve, u know what ur tlaking about but arent an arsehole about it, keep it real...

I just received the latest update pics from Odery. The next thing I get from them will be a set of wonderfully stuffed boxes full of drums. Should be shipping next week.

Try to imagine these with brushed brass lugs, chrome rims and suspension system. Also notice the fade on the kick is from the ground up. You may also notice I had the 20x20 kick cut back to a 20x17.

Its going to be cutting it close for DRT, but Ill do my best to have them with me. I know I cant barely stand waiting any longer. Enjoy!

Yo...my man from down under! Hope you're doin well friend.

Let's see...good questions! The 4 ply is a thin to moderate thickness; approx. 6mm. The auracaria wood is a dense Brazillian pine. Slightly softer than maple. Everyone who has played or reviewed them descpribes their sound as deep and resonant, especially for their size. I have only heard sound samples and talked to few guys here in the states that have experienced them first hand. Wil Calhoun (living colour) is the only name player in the states who plays them I know of. The guys I asked for input have seen them at the trade shows, played them, toured the actual factory in Brazil or know the Oderys personally. The guy who made my snare highly recommended them and that was the final decision maker for me. He makes incredible instruments and knows Mauricio Odery. So its a bit of a risk for me but I feel very good about them. They hold their value and are a unique set with the woods and all custom hardware etc.

I've also been in direct consultation from start to finish with the main guy at Odery and that has been amazing and reassuring. They have bent over backwards to make sure I'm satisfied. They tried 3 different times on the fade colour to get it right, cut back the kick and modified their suspension mounts to fit my DW arms for no extra charge. Its been a pleasure working with them.

That's about it...probably more than you wanted to know haha! I'm happy to answer any questions as best I can.

Take care!

~S

PS...thanks for the kind words everyone.

Boooooong I explained DRT to Mauricio and he's putting rush on them and told me in his Portuguese way to "hang in there" I know he is doing his best. He says mid week. 3 days Fedex door to door will put them here 6/24-26? Its gonna be really close. He wants the DRT exposure. I might have some swag for everyone, but can't make a promise.

Duuuuude.

DRT is gonna be beastly with all these monster kits.

Yeah, I saw an Odery snare in Steve's (Montreal, CA). Damn, it looked goood, but I didn't get a chance to play it.

Also saw a Dunnett that looked just like the one you have Steve.

I'm really hoping they're ready for DRT, that would be ace.
