It is safe to say this drum is the bomb.
The Atomic Bomb snare drums by RCI were created by accident: During the engineering process in making a specialty color for a customer, a special chemical color enhancer was held back by mistake and a different enhancer was put in. The end result created a completely new finish, giving the edges a struck-by-radiation type look that makes them glow in the daylight. The material was used in a RCI drum set that was shipped to a drum shop in the UK. When the owner of the shop opened the package, the first thing he said was "Man, it glows like it's atomic."
The Atomic Bomb snare drum has a combination of RCI Starlites original processes. It utilizes the specialty RCI acrylic, RCI's precision cut and polished bearing edges, a laser and Diamond tipped engraved Atomic Blast badge, precision inlayed in solid black atomic warning signs (not decals), specialty aircraft aluminum bomb lugs, Puresound 24 strand custom Snares, Trick strainer and RCI Starlites specialty acrylic drums heads (made for acrylic shells. Triple flanged hoops for even tuning around the shell without choking it. If you want sensitivity, attack, volume and a drum for live & studio recordings, the Atomic bomb snare drum is the choice.
