Carrera kits

The kit featured on this page is a Classic Custom kit made for Simon Mellish of Percussion Works.

Simon had very exacting requirements for a particular sound he wanted for the forthcoming tour to promote his new album.

The kit is 100% vertical grain birch finished in Ocean blue, with hand applied French polish. More than 20 coats of polish are applied to each drum.The kit as a whole has a bright, defined sound with lots of attack and sustain, delivering clear tones and presenting each drum clearly in its own sound space
