Three series’ of beveled art glass snare drums with custom etching, by John Orlich. Created for the 2007 Chicago Drum Show, 25 limited edition snare drums will be offered in each of three unique patterns:
Deco Motion
As with each of the series, the Deco Motion was named for its distinctive etching pattern. Given the inherent Art Deco-like atmosphere of Orlich's beveled art-glass design, the custom-to-this-series etching pattern of symmetrically undulating geometric forms was created to accompany and enhance the Deco
aesthetic.
Winged Messenger
This bold etching pattern is at once consistent with and reminiscent of the motifs of Modernism so prominent in the Art Deco period, and in a playful way recalls those fantastic Saturday matinee films from the first half of the 20th century. Wed with the 'futuristic' vibe of the drum itself, the strength and stature of the Winged Messenger design is engaging.
Mayan Cadence
The rectilinear design of the Mayan Cadence harks back to Art Deco's influences from antiquity and the 'exotic' cultural references in the cinema architecture of the Twenties and Thirties. Strong and spacious, this design makes great use of the beveled art-glass panels as part of the decorative motif.
Twenty-five drums in each design will be produced, each numbered and signed.
