We are very pleased to welcome Varus Drums to Drumazon. Here we have one of the new Power Series drum kits. This was custom made to order for us and features a Blue to Black Satin Fade Finish, a mix of Black Nickel and Gold Hardware and 100% Chestnut Shells.
The story of Varus Drums starts in 2013 with Thomas Mantovani (owner and founder). Thomas wanted to produce drums with an appearance that is more sophisticated, modern and casual, inspired by the great Italian motor racing brands and the passion reflected in their products. In addition, Varus offers beautiful, high quality, natural wood finishes.
The toms and floor toms on the power series are 6 ply 5.4mm whilst the bass drum is a slightly thicker 8 ply 7.2mm construction. The Chestnut shell delivers similar power and definition to Maple drums but with even more warmth and low end depth making it a perfect choice for drummers who like lots of body and tone from their drums. This depth is apparent even when the drums are set in higher tunings but the sub low harmonics really kick in when the set is tuned low, the bass drum acoustically is huge!
There are some really nice touches on this kit which are very much part of the Varus signature aesthetic. The bass drum gets an extra deep front hoop and custom design 'Lion Door' bass drum head, the bass drum claws and lugs are Black Nickel with contrasting Gold tension rods and bass drum spurs. The Toms have Black Nickel hoops and lugs with contrasting Gold RIMS mounts and tension rods. The Floor Toms get the same Black Nickel hoops and lugs, the floor tom brackets are also Black Nickel whilst the tension rods and floor tom legs are gold. All five drums have Gold Varus badges.
The Blue to Black Satin fade is expertly executed and looks incredible against the hardware combination, the custom drum head and extra deep front hoop really enhance the looks.
