Check out this video! Not only are these guys really great musicians, but the drummer is using a mongrel cocktail kit that just kills. Talented bunch of guys. They call themselves; Steven'N'Seagulls, I guess it's a spoof on 'Steven Seagal'. Check out this kit and how well the drummer employs it. Does anybody here play a similar hybrid/mongrel kit? Fun stuff. Enjoy.

That's a cool video. He has a rubber pad on the floor tom and uses it as a trap table. I've been slowly putting together the pieces for a sit down cocktail kit. I may get it finished in the next couple months.
Wow! Very cool remake.
I've kept my eye out for a cocktail kit that's not outrageously priced. Someday . ..
That kit looks very similar to one I bought recently and converted to a sit down kit. It was$250 plus shipping from Ebay and has good sound and quality.
Jerry - Post up some shots when you get it done!
Dionne - Yep, cocktail kits and drums are pricey. A buddy of mine on a limited budget took years to find an affordable vintage kit, but even then, he had to do a lot of work to get them back up to snuff. CL and ebay are about the only places I ever see them and not too often at that.
Tinman - Cool! I like the cymbal set-up. Is it MIJ or American made?
John
Cool video. That anvil sounds pretty nice too. I love the sound and he plays it with a wrench which is awesome!! Good stuff thanks John. These guys are really good!
I love that ! Thanks for posting it John. Cant believe those brushes sound just like sticks to me.
John, not sure where it was made but is GAMMON Percussion USA.
Gammons are Asian kits marketed in the USA and other countries. What kind of wood are the shells made of? Does the grain run vertical/up & down? Could you take a photo of the inside of one of the drums for me?
John
I had a knowledgable friend look at these and he said they are birch with a lacquer finish. The grain runs from top to bottom on what I have. I'll try and get a picture.
