An actual demonstration with an actual drum woulda been great...
Amen, brother
I mean, they had to know players would be super confused by this thing. It should always be about the sound but after watching Russ Miller try to stumble through how to adjust this thing, doesn't seem to be too convenient out at a gig. I see this program lasting a year.
Still alive after 3 years.
Its not for everyone but it does what it needs to do, and does helps us drummers.
conveniently forgot to mention how its actually attached to the drum shell
It has to be welded on 👍
It's attached to the bottom lugs on the tom. It's a great idea for sure. the only problem is you kind of have to buy Mapex Drums, which aren't my favorite. It would be nice if there was a way to retrofit to other brands of drums and you can use their mounting system with other brands.
Its probably cheaper to pay separate people to stand there and hold every peice of your drum set in place. Would look more visually appealing too
The most Rediculous thing I ever saw associated with a drumkit!
asi son los chinos, hay cosas que deben quedar como son...
And Lars is a close second.
magnets loose their power after some time. Will they be provided when they don't function anymore?
btw, the thing is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and ugly
It takes decades for magnets to lose strength so your concern is a non issue. As far as huge and ugly that's a different story all together.
So far it Only works on the brand new unreleased Mapex drums.Its also a nightmare to work with on tour.
Overkill !!
I thing I've always liked about my older Saturn Series kit circa 2010 are the suspended floor toms. I hate floor tom legs and prefer to set them up on my side rack in the same position night after night. Nice to see that concept returning with the MAATS mount accepting up to an 18" tom.
Huh? I don't really know more than I did before I watched the video.
To all those people skeptical about the mounting system, try it first before coming to conclusion. Also I'm not in any way, shape or form saying that I like the mounting system. It's just a matter of trying it out.
Hey Russ what's up fella, I love watching you discover the technical dynamics The beauty of the system once you come to understand what a leap this is in Studio Sound(not to mention muffling characteristics that are nothing short of Brilliant) I would endorse these in a hot second. I saw your other video at Sweetwater as well mate. I didn't have to dig far to put my engineer on point to get me this system. Thanks for the Vid ~ Your Future looking accomplice Scott♠
What a bad video overview! I barely understand a thing. Where does the tom goes for instance?
I have one. it's not as bad in person as you think. Totally over engineered. the main issue is that you have to have a cymbal stand with a 1" diameter lower section and them a mystery diameter top section. you'll need a mapex stand if you don't have one. the HALO system on the evolution drums is much better i think.
I was really hoping that the drum would be suspended in a magnetic field with nothing touching it! That design would probably wreak havoc on the mics though.
Holy crap. I thought this was a parody video at first when I saw how HUGE these mounts were! I don't think an increase in sustain (no matter how significant) would be worth using those beasts. LOL
Jazz fusion music plus technical instructions were a bit much.
Call me when it's half that size.
And half the price
I'm sorry Mapex but you CANNOT be serious. This is just laughable. What regularly gigging drummer would ever want to haul these things around? About 85% of the drum sound is the drum head, therefore a very big reason why people choose the drums they do is cosmetics. Who the hell will see these and say "yes, that's the look I want to go for and I'd love to carry all that extra weight around"?? They are so big and ugly, and heavy I imagine. If you think this is what people are looking for when buying drums then I'm sorry but you have completely lost touch with reality. Here are some more comments I have on the video:
1:46 NO ONE wants to worry about having an Allen key on a gig. This is over-engineering to the point where your average drummer will be alienated instantly.
2:48 Honestly, I'd much rather have the feel of the drum be affected by dampening than have the audience have to look at those tom holders. As an audience member, I'd rather the tom's feel be affected than have to look at these holders. The audience doesn't care what the tom's feel is like but they know when they see something ugly.
3:10 Again, who's going to want to deal with adjusting the holder to the correct weight of the tom? Drummers have enough to worry about already. This will alienate about 95% of drummers.
4:21 If Mapex is so confident about these tom holders being great, then why is there no mention of them anywhere on their tom holders or multi-stands pages on their official website??

4:56 If Russ Miller loves these tom holders so much then why is it that since this video he took them off his own Design Lab kit and replaced them with rim mounts?... ua-cam.com/video/7YY37NopVJQ/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo
I like innovation but not at the sacrifice of practicality. These tom holders would cause far more problems than they would solve for your average drummer and even for many professional drummers. I can't believe Mapex has their head so far up their ass that they can't see that. I hope they learn from this.
I understand the science of this mount but it just seems rather clunky looking, not really impressed.
Completely unnecessary.
This video is is not correctly categorized as Comedy.
The system chokes the resonant side of the drum. Should have been placed on the batter side lugs. As long as there is gravity, weight and physics still apply to toms no matter the isolation.
It can be attached to either end of the drum as you can see here ua-cam.com/video/-au2hRYskz8/v-deo.html
Not true.
A lot of systems and drummers are using the bottom part.
I woudl even say it chockes less as a regular rims type of mount puts all the pressure on the top rim which affects the batter head even more.
Also this hangs from the (center part of the) lug, so no heads or even rods are touched, compared to other systems that do hang from rods.
@@musiqsoundsproductions good point
Can't wait to put moon gels on these...😂
I would never want to gig that thing. Big, big, big. My rig just went in the opposite direction. I gig with Yamaha Crosstown hardware, and my rack Tom rings like a bell on the standard Yamaha mount. I play mostly 60s-80s pop music, so it’s almost all kick and snare anyway.
That thing looks like a Train Car Coupler. LOL!
Another USELESS gear trying to suck out money more money. Dont believe the hype.
wow, this looks expensive
I'm sure it adds another 3 to $400 per Mount per kit. Nah, I'll pass.
Randall May... the king of over engineered expensive garbage. See May Mics...
Way over designed. Sonor has a similar thing in their toms, does basically nothing
Que clase de porquería es esa?
oh ... very ugly ....
