Description
Our premier offering here at Vertical Drum Co, the LP Kit. We’ve taken time to develop what we think is the most versatile beast of a drum kit that you could ever play in a church setting. We start off with 6-ply mahogany over poplar shells and cut in a 45-degree round-over bearing edge to give you big tone and controlled sustain. These shells are thin which gives you lots of boom plus attack while making sure you don’t have a drum that’s going to ring forever like a lot of consumer kits do. These shells matched with the edges we put on them makes them incredibly easy to tune as well, perfect for a church setting where there are a variety of drummers with a variety of experience levels.
We seal the shells with a hand-rubbed oil finish that hardens and creates a sheen over the exterior that will not yellow over time. These drums are easy to clean with just a simple wipe down since the finish is hardened.
To keep with our semi-custom approach we let you choose a few things on each LP Kit. Choose your hardware from chrome, black or brass. And to give it a more custom feel we also let you choose the depth of each drum. The kit comes in a 24, 13, 16 or 22, 12, 16 configuration, but with each, you get to choose the depths. Make your kick a 14×24 or an 18×24, its all the same to us.
Snare, cymbals, stands, pedals all not included. The LP kit comes with a kick drum, rack tom, floor tom.
Since we make all drums to order kits are a 6 to 8 week build time. Sometimes we can get them done quicker but that depends on supply chain consistency and time of the year. Thanks for being understanding! We’ll communicate with you directly for the decisions that need to be made on each kit. Ie: badge color, shell depths, etc.
We also do custom builds and can add or change things for you as needed. Want an 18″ matching floor tom? No problem. Need a 20″ kick instead? We got you. Just let us know what your needs are and we can handle it.
To help sweeten the deal we place our kits into the $45 flat fee shipping category just like our snares. These kits always cost more than $45 to ship in the US but we want to keep that part of it affordable for you so we’re happy losing a little $$ on each shipping charge. Plus, it’s flat fee per order so if you order a kit and a snare you’re just paying $45 flat for shipping on all of it. And shipping to churches is always free so contact us for a code if you’re ordering for a church.
Go give this kit a listen with some headphones on!
