Building VT Fusion Drums

November 19th, 2009

I am launching our new VT Fusion kit shortly which is based on changing the ply count depending on the diameter and depth of drum.

This is a technique that is already known of but I really believe drummers are alot more wiser and educated in the builds of drums and techniques these days. It becomes a topic of conversation when customers are browsing round our workshop especially when they see some of the shells we are producing currently.

Our VT Fusion kit is based on 10×8, 12×9, 14×12, 20×18 with a choice of 13″ or 14″ snare and depth.

Other configurations are available and will be published in the near future within our website.
