Travis Smith: BUILDING A MONSTER
Exclusive Video of the New Signature Kit
In preparation for The Black Crusade Tour with Machine Head and the
official unveiling of his new Ddrum Signature Kit, Trivium drummer
Travis Smith stopped by Ddrum HQ to design a rack worthy of supporting a
MONSTER! We happened to have our camcorder with us that day and captured
the whole thing on video.

Travis unveiled the kit during the
2007 Family Values tour, and has
since taken it with him for the Black Crusade, a cross-continental tour
featuring Machine Head (with Ddrum Artist Dave McClain on drums) and a
host of some of the most brutal acts in metal.
A limited number of Travis' Signature Drum Kits and snare drums are now
available at select Ddrum dealers in the USA and Europe. The kit
features birch/basswood shells, our Arrowhead lug with gun-metal-plated
hardware, and a custom rusted metal graphic that Travis personally
designed (wrapped on each drum with the help of our friends at
Rockenwraps).
Included in this shell pack are:
- two 20"x24" kick drums (with "T"-logo front heads)
- 16"x18" and 14"x16" floor toms
- 7"x8", 8"x10", 9"x12" and 10"x14" rack toms
- Travis Smith Signature Snare (a 7"x14", 15-ply snare with 14 vent
holes)
These kits and snares are available while supplies last through the
following dealers:
