Drummer Matt Flacche, based in Marlton, New Jersey, custom-ordered and built this month’s monster setup, a 2017 Tama Starclassic Bubinga kit in satin natural cordia finish. With previous appearances in the September 2003, July 2007, and January 2009 issues, this marks the fourth time one of Flacche’s sets has been featured as MD’s Kit of the Month. The drummer feels that this particular outfit is his finest creation to date.
