Special-edition Shell Pack from the SJC Crew
Get to know the minds behind SJC with the Builder's Choice Limited Edition series. The inaugural Kit #1 comes to Sweetwater courtesy of SJC lead assembler Pat Burns. Its fusion-sized shells and satiny purple-to-black finish are a touring drummer's dream come true, promising SJC's signature looks and big, bold tones in an easy-traveling size. 6- and 8-ply maple shells with hand-honed bearing edges give these US-made boutique drums tremendous resonance and tuning potential, while special-edition Builder's Choice wood badges give it collectible appeal. Lightweight black nickel hardware and pre-tuned Evans USA heads crown every shell for a rich, resonant character.

"Purple is my favorite color, and [this kit] looks amazing burst and blended into black....The sizes are small enough to carry around, fit in any car, and you still get that large SJC sound."
— Pat Burns, lead assembler for SJC
Select maple shells with hand-cut edges
As discriminating drummers know, not all maple plies are created equal. That's why your SJC Builder's Choice Limited Edition shell pack is built from select plies of North American maple. These woods, in concert with SJC's nearly two decades of custom drum expertise, deliver the powerful projection and crisp, even tone that today's drummers demand. SJC's hand-cut bearing edges allow shells and heads to resonate to their full potential.
Lightweight black nickel hardware
This kit's black nickel hardware doesn't just look killer; it's kept light to reduce shell weight for maximum potential, whatever your tuning preference. Triple-flanged tom hoops invite an open, classic attack. And SJC's proprietary, spring-less Shield Lugs perform quietly in the studio with solid tuning integrity.
Tuned up with Evans USA heads
Your SJC Builder's Choice Limited Edition is ready to play out the day it arrives. Evans G2 Coateds and Genera Resonants, tuned to perfection, crown every tom shell. And the bass drum's complement of an EMAD2 kick batter with an EQ4 Calftone reso delivers a modern contour with endless tuning potential.
