Lowrider Crush Custom Drum Set

June 6, 2014 The NSMD Staff
CDOTM-0614_01.jpg

From Lowrider Magazine...

When it comes to the Lowrider influence and style, drummer and bike owner Austin Comnick shows us that he travels to the beat of a different drum as he says "I have to admit, I love chrome on cars and bikes like a woman loves diamonds. So the first time I saw an all-chrome lowrider bike on white walls my mind was officially blown! As a former touring musician I am always thinking of ways to make a live show as amazing as I can through the eyes of a spectator. So what better way than blowing peoples minds with a custom trike drum kit?"

Built around a 20-inch lowrider trike is a 4-piece clear acrylic Crush drum set. A chrome piccolo snare sits mounted to the bikes frame just in front of the custom ape hangar handlebars that double as a mount for two crash cymbals, a rack tom and an all chrome (of course) cowbell. A 22-inch kick drum, 16-inch floor tom and a ride cymbal sit next to the trike. The kit is fully functional and as easy to play as a normal kit but instead of sitting on a drum throne, you"re upon a lowrider.

I feel I met my goal to combine style and live music; the only problem is do you want to ride it, play it or stare at it?

Zickos Clear Cast Acrylic Drums

The first company to ever produce clear cast acrylic drums, Zickos nearly had Keith Moon as an endorser. Apparently, he did not like the sound of the drums. He was known to have played them on just a handful of gigs.
