Condition Note: The kick drum has scuffs and scratches in various locations, especially on the hardware.
Taking their cue from the drum shells that started it all in the 50s and 60s, C&C Player Date series drums are being built by the same crew, and in the same shop as their highly regarded custom series. They are built to be a more affordable, yet still high quality series of drums.
The Player Date 2 series are built with maple/mahogany shells. All Player Dates feature C&C double-ended center lugs and “full contact” bearing edges, which resemble 50s Gretsch edges. These allow the drums to be tuned extra low, and give them plenty of range and warmth. The 1″ shorter depth of the toms allows for lower tuning ranges than standard sizes, without bottoming out or sounding flat. These drums can be seen being played out by the drummers for The Shins, My Morning Jacket, and Modest Mouse, amongst others.
