If they become a drummer later, that first kit usually becomes useless, because it’s impossible to play professionally with a starter instrument. The project was ready to go! Cafekit was created initially with children in mind. We became even more excited, because we could instantly see the logo, the cup, and everything was coming into place. They immediately yelled, excited, “CafeKit!!” During a conversation at the 2014 NAMM show, I told them we were designing a compact kit, and needed to find a name. Starting with the name: we do love to relax, cup of coffee in hand, among good friends! Actually, the name was an idea of our American drumming friends, Anthony King and Lyle Brown.

Some nudging of the kit quickly eased my mind as it felt stable, despite the mounting of the toms and snare (which I will go into later). Despite knowing Odery’s brilliant record of quality, I must say I was suspicious of how I would find this kit, particularly the hardware, in the knowledge that it was originally planned to be a beginner kit. Looking first at the price, only £349 with hardware included, this kit is seriously competitive. First ImpressionsI have had the pleasure of hearing both Odery’s more entry-level kits, and also their high-end custom series, but their diversity means I didn’t know exactly what to expect from the CafeKit. At the 2014 NAMM show, the name CafeKit was finally born, and as Compact Drums put it “Odery have quite successfully re-invented the compact drum kit from the ground up”. After some development, the plan changed, and Odery were now looking to build a compact kit like no other.
