Gladstone Shells
The Player Dates 7-ply mahogany shells are produced by C&C. We wanted to focus on one main objective: more wood, less glue. Becaus of that our thicker plys give a lower fundamental tone, which in turn gives a warmer sound. The shells offer a wide tuning range Gladstone’s objective is simple.

2 Sizes
The C&C Player Date is offered in 2 size configurations: „Big Beat“ and „Be-Bop“. The „Big Beat“ configuration comes in the sizes 22“ x 14“, 13“ x 8“, 16“ x 14“ and can be ordered with an optional 14“ x 6.5“ snare drum. The „Be-Bop“ model sizes are 20“ x 14“, 12“ x 8“, 14“ x 14“ and its matching optional snare drum size is 14“ x 5.5“. We also offer single drums by special order in both 18“ x 12“ and 24“ x 14“ for bass drums as well as a 18“ x 14“ floor tom.
3 Finishes
The Player Date is available in 3 finishes: „honey“, „mahogany“ and „silver sparkle“. Both„honey“ und „mahogany“ are lacquer finishes, while the „silver sparkle“ is a wrap finish. It up to you which finish you chose. For once, this acutally is a matter of taste.
The perfect Wood
All our drums start from wood. Not round, perfectly formed pre-fabricated shells, but flat sheets of the most beautiful, perfect wood one can acquire. The Player-Date is made out of 7-plies of the reowned mahogany coming from the “Gladstone Woods” (Kansas City, USA). If you want to know more about how our drums are made, take a look at the link our Gladstone Shells Page.
"Radio King" Reissue Hardware
Auch bei der Auswahl der Player Date-Hardware orientiert sich C&C an klassischen Vintage Drumkits der 50er/60er Jahre. Alle Kessel werden mit „Radio King“-Reissue-Hardware versehen, dazu wurden als Bassdrum-Füße passende „Vintage Spurs“ ausgesucht. Während sowohl das Holz, als auch die Größenkonfigurationen dem Player Date zu seinem einzigartigen Klang verhelfen, sorgt die bewusste Entscheidung zur gewählten Hardware der Kits für ihr – im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes – ausgezeichnetes Äußeres.
Matched Woodhoops
While designing the bass drum, we thought of something which fits perfectly to the overall concept of the Player Date. Every bass drum comes equipped with perfectly combined wood hoops, which depending on the finish of the drum kit, come in black, brown or a natural finish. The centerd white marine pearl inlay in every wood hoop complements the Player Dates overall appereance.
