NAMM 2014 .... what color were those 2Box drums?

[Murgen]

Grey, black makes them less outstanding. I wonder how White would look.

[nocturnodrummer]

Yeah, just like a typical Roland kit..  I've tried white but with my skills it looked so bad that I've decided not to post the results  I wonder how sparkle finishes would look like  orange sparkle would be awesome !

I wonder how White would look.

A 'Pure White' finish will probably bilge (turn yellow) too fast, over time (in the same fashion Roland's silver-colored cymbals did). - that might be a problem...

I'd go with something 'Off-White'-finished to begin with - like an 'Ivory' color!

Depends on environment and quality of the paint. I guess the color White on aluminium will stick longer then the plastic coloured stuff from Roland.

Powdercoat on metal is much more robust that plastic wrap...that's why the use it on motorcycle frames and such. Most  any color using that system would probly outlast the pads themselves.

Thanks guys, I owe you something.   
...Just had a go at it and did a little fumbling around with the colors, as well...


Pure White:



Off-White:



...and here's a 'Cream'-colored finish:



I guess my imagination of 'Ivory' would be somewhere in the middle between 'Off-White' and 'Cream'...!

For me the bright white will work, maybe a tat cream.

I agree, I think the white would look good. Not that I don't like some of the multiple color choices you guys have shown in this thread, I do. But from a retail sales point I think something like white, black, or brushed nickel/aluminum ......something that didn't glow in the dark   would equate to a lot more sales.

Here's Nocturnodrummer's initial kit in 'Black', then a 'Dark Grey' done by me,
followed by a 'Lighter Grey', and the same 'Pure White' as above for reference:










Enjoy!

All nice choices IMO

The black and white look spectacular! Personally I would like to see full chrome. That's kinda what always caught my eye with the Hart Hammered series.....and chrome snares or wrap. Chrome always looks great and very high end.

[hemiboy]

Yeah as long as we are putting in our pic orders, how about a chrome snare and module with  a black kit and chrome snare and module  with the standard  orange,  and while we are at it, chrome snare and module with a dark wine, bet they all would look hot! Boy, this thread is getting more action than  a 22 year old chick with a nice set of roto toms and a fat bass throne thumper! Gotta keep laughing , right?

[Dänoh]

Now is probably a good time to say that 'Bare Aluminum' (...or 'Chrome' for that matter) is a b*tch to execute! 




Hemiboy,
your suggestions will have to wait 'till a bit later tomorrow. ...Give me 12 hours, or so!

[digitalDrummer]

I suspect that if Hoshino has any influence over product design, we will see two additional colours - black and white.

[hemiboy]

Danoh, that chrome looks cool, what do you think guys?
