Here we have a lovely Natal Cafe Racer traditional jazz in Ebony Pinstripe Veneer.
Taking many design cues from the flagship Originals series drums such as the spurs, aluminium tom holders and sun lugs the Cafe Racer has a completely different shell design and sound. The Tulipwood shells have slightly rounded, hand-finished, 45 degree bearing edge shells. This popular shell from yesteryear often used with high end drum ranges delivers warmth and projection and a great variety of tones that will suit all drumming genres.
All the shell mounted hardware is very well built, we particularly love the mounting systems and the bass drum spurs! The tom clamps which are included (a rare thing nowadays) are probably the best approach we've seen to the ball socket type L-arm clamp type design. The roller balls are of metal construction, making them quick and easy to position and fantastic to lock.
Each tom has two die cast Natal badges featuring the 'Sun' logo. The bass drum also features a wood I.D. badge, the attractive chrome-plated zinc 'sun' lugs are another beautiful detail. Natal also offer their own integrated suspension system (same as on the Originals series) which is attached very discreetly to two of the lugs, the mount is then isolated by two rubber grommets allowing the drums to resonate freely whilst maintaining a more rigid and predictable tom mount that is far easier to use than many of the other isolation systems on the market that often have a great deal of lift that can make tom placement more of a guessing game.
