Josh Touchton from Natal Drums explains about Tulip Poplar wood used for the Café Racer and shows the drum sets that got three new colors in 2017: Oxblood, Seafoam Green and Solid Black.
The Café Racer's high quality lacquer finishes recall classic speedsters and vintage drums sure to turn the eyes and ears of everyone on the other side of your bass drum. Café Racer's tulip shell is dry and focused with the perfect amount of warmth and projection for any mic'd or unmic'd performance gig to gig, stage to studio, or café to café.
The shell has a slightly rounded, hand finished 45o bearing edge. And with Tru-Tune tension rods, high mass chrome-plated zinc sun lugs, NRM aluminum ball tom mounting system and ultra sturdy telescopic bass drum spurs, Café Racer's cool precision puts you in control.
Café Racer finishes are:
- Gold Sparkle with Black Sparkle Stripe
- Red Sparkle with Silver Sparkle Stripe
- Champagne Sparkle
- British Racing Green Sparkle
- Seafoam Green Suede
- Oxblood Suede
- Black Suede
Available as US Fusion 22 and Traditional Jazz configurations.
