Billy Blast Drums/Cocktail Kit

Billy Blast

Billy Blast drums prides itself on making high-quality kits at very reasonable prices. The company offers a unique cocktail kit that allows for easy transportation since the drums all fit inside the 16" x 24" bass drum. To accomplish this, the drum uses two heavy-duty latches and rubber seams that allow it to separate and store the other drums, similar to the way Yamaha’s Hip Gig kits operate. That should speed up your load-in time!

The drums use Keller 100 percent maple 8-ply VSS shells with Billy’s own sound-controlled heads. The kit comprises a vertical bass drum/floor tom, two nesting single-head toms (10" x 6" and 12" x 6"), and a 12" x 6" snare drum with heavy-duty throw-off. The kit also features the proprietary Sliding Bass Drum Rail System to mount an inverted pedal under the drum. Up top you get adjustable snare and tom clamps and L-arms for easy positioning. The kit comes in a variety of wrapped finishes (metal, carbon-fiber wraps, and lacquer finishes are optional) and includes a leather gig bag for just $1,050, or you can get your own bag and nab this kit for just $875.
