“Open Concept” Lug DesignĪn almost “silvery” shimmer in the grain portion of the Ash design makes the wrap finish look a lot better in person than on picture. The lugs with their “open concept” design are more than a gimmick, they function very well and allow for rapid head changes by flipping the lug nut sideways out from the lug casing. Of course the unusual lug design is immediately noticed along with the finish and unorthodox tom mounting hardware. No assembly is required for the snare drum and toms, while the bass drum does require installation of the heads and rims. The contents are well packed with ample cushioning material and sturdy cardboard boxes. Like a pack of candy-fueled six-year-old kids on Christmas Eve, we tore into the single box that contains the entire CafeKit and included hardware. Odery CafeKit Review In Depth Odery CafeKit Review Read on to see how versatile this little kit really is and how it stacks up against the competition.
In this configuration the existing tom mounting hardware becomes auxiliary mounts for cymbals or percussion. More on this in the “Sound, Voice and Tone” section below.Īnother detail that sets the CafeKit apart from the pack is the ability to add an “Expansion Kit”, consisting of a 20″ bass drum and some hardware that converts the 14″ bass drum to a floor tom.
Odery proves to us that this apparently is not the case. Something assumed as necessary to compensate for the small sizes. This is in stark contrast to most of the other compact bop kit’s rather deep toms. The shallow “Extra Fast” toms are great for portability and allow for a very single-plane type setup while surprising all of us with their tuning range and full, rich sound. This might be the kit that has captured our attention the most of any drum kit ever scrutinized here at. We simply can’t seem to stop probing and playing it for long enough to get started, and that’s a good thing. Testing the tuning range of each drum, Experimenting with different heads, Configuring and re-configuring the setup and examining the quality and tolerances. We’ve been tinkering with the CafeKit for about a week before writing a single word of this review. We’ll get into this in more detail in the “Value” section below. At a Street price of merely US$399 including hardware, the Odery Cafekit is quite aggressively priced, especially after reviewing all the specs and what’s included. One of the first things to get noticed is the value. Odery Cafe Kit in Polar Tiger Pearl Expanded Odery CafeKit More on this in the “Construction and Design” section below. Rather than follow the beaten path and simply “shrink” a regular bop kit to smaller proportions, Odery have quite successfully re-invented the compact drum kit from the ground up. There are more differences than similarities between the two though. It’s really limited to just two Odery’s CafeKit and the little Sonor Martini. There aren’t a whole lot of choices in the market with a 14″ bass drum. “the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts” IntroductionĪfter the Odery CafeKit first caught my eyes some time ago, I’ve been looking forward to the opportunity to check one out.
