Perfect Ply Black Walnut Drum Kit
When Hendrix told us about the Perfect Ply kits we couldn't wait to get them over to the UK. Walnut is one of the most popular shells we get asked for, normally these shells come at a premium price but Hendrix have managed to get these kits out at a fantastic price too. It also comes in a great range of configurations. The one we have here is the 5 piece with classic 2 up 2 down configuration over a 22 x 18 bass drum.
Walnut is a medium dense hardwood, in addition to its beautiful looks, it has a warm rounded deep tone with the coveted punchy low end that so many of today's drummers are looking for. Hendrix Black Walnut Perfect Ply shells are 5mm 4 ply thin shells with Maple reinforcing rings, the drums speak clearly at low volumes and the warm resonance sounds like a dream live and in the studio.
Solid Aluminum Chrome Lugs
Hendrix Drums proprietary 'HD lug' is a small single point lug. The lug body is machined from solid aluminum, as opposed to being cast from steel as most lugs are. The idea behind this lug design was to create a lug that would cause as little hindrance to the shells' resonance as possible. The solid aluminum body allows vibrations to pass through the lugs very easily, resulting in an overall more resonant drum. They are also very light weight and only require one small hole to be drilled into the shell for mounting, which further aids in allowing the drum to resonate. Each lug is plated with decorative chrome that looks great and adds protection to the aluminum body. Lastly, the threaded insert floats in the lug body allowing it to be adjusted toward or away from the shell while remaining parallel to the shell body. This ensures perfect tension rod alignment regardless of head seating.
Sleeved Washers
Sleeved Washers are a Hendrix Drums product that have exploded in popularity. They may be small but they make a big difference. They eliminate all metal on metal contact between the hoop and tension rods, produce smoother and more accurate tuning, enable lower tuning without any "rod rattle", protect the chrome on hoops and rods, and reduce backing out of tension rods so the drums stay in tune for longer. Sleeved Washers come as standard on all Archetype Series drums.
