ITEM DESCRIPTION 1 of only 2 made! 2mm aluminium, solid stainless lugs, brushed stainless hoops, stainless throw and butt (etched with a certain drummer's name, for whom the drum was originally designed), and stainless Vkey.
Alan van Kleef is a drum builder who works with Sheffield stainless steel as the primary material for his lugs, hoops and tension rods*. He produces drums that are as unique in appearance as they are in sound. Van Kleef is a musician-turned-drum builder. His career started in the '90s, drumming live to Drum & Bass DJs at various events, then for the next several years, running his own recording studio in London. From his current Sheffield home workshop (where he's resided since 2010), Van Kleef crafts custom snare drums and full kits from materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, copper, titanium and ply shells with a wide range of veneer finishes. MY TAKE ON IT/RECOMMENDATIONS This is truly a work of art!At Drum Center of Portsmouth, it’s important to us that you get the products that are right for your needs. We truly believe that a strong relationship with a well respected retailer is one of the most valuable tools a drummer can have in his arsenal.
