It must be the classic look and feel of yesteryear coupled with smooth, modern appointments that make C&C drums so warm and inviting. Any time I get one of these beauties into the shop, I can’t help but feel excited. They are simply addicting to play. This kit in particular is pretty unique; with it's 6 lug 22x12 Gladstone bass drum (Maple) and 13"/16” 12th & Vine toms (Mahogany/Poplar), it really caters to both studio and live environments. This is a one owner kit that has lived in a studio for it's whole life. No issues whatsoever.

12th & Vine:

"5-Ply Mahogany/Poplar/Mahogany: A reference to the classic sounds of the 1950s, our Mahogany/Poplar ply configuration is one of the warmest C&C shell configurations. Depth and character are more pronounced in quieter, softer musical settings, while fat, round tones come out when things get louder."

Gladstone:

"With thicker cuts than the industry standard, our Maple ply configuration is a refined version of the shell construction that put us on the map. The Gladstone series features 7 plies of North American Rock Maple, our single-ended Deco Lug, and proprietary Bread and Butter bearing edges. This edge allows full, open, resonant tone. It also promotes more body than what is typical of a modern maple shell, making for a versatile sound."
