VK DRUMS 7EMPEST 8 PIECE DANNY CAREY DRUM KIT No.001 | DRUMAZON VIDEO

Описание: Here we have one of the most unique kits ever to come through the doors at Drumazon! We are extremely proud to present the first ever VK Drums 7empest Aluminium Drum Kit complete with a Cast Bronze 7empest Snare Drum and optional Paiste Cymbals. VK Drums are well known for their incredible metal shell drums which are often offered with their iconic laser engravings, the 7empest is a masterclass in everything Alan Van Kleef and VK drums have come to stand for.
To capture the details of this incredible set we have taken over 40 images and made a video to help give you a real feel for the enormity that is the 7EMPEST.

From Monad the 7empest was born.

During 2019 Alan Van Kleef was contacted and then commissioned by Danny Carey to create a drum kit and snare drum for him. Danny was recommended to speak to Alan via long time friend and VK snare owner John Tempesta. After many discussions Alan went about creating the Monad drum set for Danny. The 8 piece double bass drum kit was made from 2mm thick rolled and riveted Aircraft Grade Aluminum Shells. All the drums are fitted with Alan's 20mm VKast Aluminium hoops throughout. The accompanying Monad snare drum for the kit is a 5mm B12 Cast Bell Bronze shell which has matching bronze VKast hoops. Danny Carey's 7 sided logo is laser engraved on every drum and appears 7 times on each shell. Inside each bass drum is a 7 sided microphone mount designed to centrally hold the Heil PR48 bass drum microphone which is Danny's preferred bass drum microphone. Stainless steel extended tube lugs are fitted throughout the kit and finally the VK signature vent holes appear on every drum. Once completed Alan delivered the drum kit and snare drum personally to Danny at download festival back in June 2019.

7empest Snare Drum

Shortly after the Monad kit was completed, it was announced that a complete replica snare drum called The 7empest would be made available as part of a limited collection of 33 individual drums. The 7empest snare is identical to the Monad snare apart from one detail, the 7empest has Sigillum Dei Aemeth engravings instead of the 7 sided Danny Carey logo. The 7empest snare is a 14 x 8 VKast Bronze 5mm shell with matching VKast hoops. The snare also offers stainless steel extended tube lugs, engraved snare throw, butt, VKey and a set of 3 Sigillum Dei Aemeth laser marked enochian chimes. The limited package also comes with a certificate and white gloves.

7empest Drum Kit

Around the same time as the 7empest snare was announced we found out that Alan was also underway making the first ever 7empest Drum Set. Like the snare drum, the 7empest drum kit is a replica of the Monad set in every way with the one exception being the Sigillum Dei Aemeth laser engravings instead of the 7 sided logo. For the 7empest kit Alan decided to finish the shells in a stunning Black Powder coat whilst leaving the VKast hoops in their natural Aluminum colour which creates an incredibly striking look!

Every detail even down to the sizes of this kit are exactly the same is the Monad set, the kit has Aluminium 2mm shells, the same 7 sided mic mounts and XLR plugs ready for Heil PR48 mics, 20mm VKast Hoops, Stainless Steel extended tube lugs and a 7empest 14 x 8 Cast Bronze Snare Drum. Finally every drum has a metal ID tag inside detailing drum size, shell material, date of manufacture (February 2020) and serial no. (7empest Kit No.001)
