I've been so waiting for this. Now it seems like Christmas has begun!
Merry Christmas! For a compilation video, this took way longer than expected to make. Thanks for watching, Paul.
Nice to see that the only Yamaha kit to make appearance is the Hybrid Oak Custom. Mine is on order and should be with me the end of next week! Thanks for giving up all your time to make such great videos, really appreciate all the hard work and time that it must take to put something like this together!
Strangely, I thought the Ludwig Legacy Mahogany sounded muffled. Maybe it was the choice of drumheads but maybe it was the drums themselves. Kind of "meh", at least to my ears.
@@drumcenternh How many Trees died to make this video, it was worth it+)!.Ha! Would like to know if the Pearl Master double bass kit had coated ambassador or coated emperors on the toms as that's the sound I love! Know I just need to rob a bank!
@@johncollins5552 Ambassadors!
This video should be titled “Drum Sets I’ll never Be Able to Afford!!!” 😂😂😂
... unless I won a lottery 😁
Well, I heard the black market will buy any unused bodily organs... ;-)
Maybe I could paint something for the guys at DCP and we could do a trade?! I am an abstract acrylic painter!
I’m with you there !!!!
You have to purchase a kit like a car; meaning, pay it off monthly. Otherwise, you end up settling on one of the most important things in your life and doing more damage to your technique and growth because of playing a cheap kit that you have to break your limbs to get a great sound out of. Do you wanna do that?
So excited to have seen the Tama Star on the top of the list. Absolutely exceptional drums, not even a surprise! This was a fantastic video! 😊👍🏻
Thanks for anther great video. I love all the kits (especially the big sound of that Gretsch, but maybe a different color!). Thanks DCP yet again for raising the bar with another product comparison video that is exceptionally well planned, executed and produced/edited. You guys are literally the best there is at this.
Thanks for watching! It's awesome to hear that people appreciate the hard work we put into this. Happy holidays.
I'm saving up for the Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Oak! The sound and projection of these drums are absolutely amazing! Stunning! I've been playing 40+ years...
Proud owner of the SQ1. Beautiful kit and a joy to play. Best kit I've ever played hands down.
Great video as always, and I want to compliment you on the funny intro, where Shane throw's out the team's hard work and delivers the real list. Love me some Sonor SQ1!
Thanks for watching, Eric!
Pearl Masters Maple Gum was my fave.
This video is AWESOME!!
Really well done.
Wow you sure put some time and effort into this one. Congratulations I watched the whole thing!
Just goes to show what mics can do for your kit . And a great sound guy. You never get to really appreciate your own drum kit until you hear it mic'd the right way out in front. Bravo!
Sets just kept getting better, I think you guys nailed it!
You guys did an incredible job. You were fun, talking about serious and important criteria and information. Nobody needs to be boring just because they're talking about technical stuff. Just excellent material! 😍
Thanks, man. We appreciate the kind words!
Great list from a great store! Brilliant stuff from DCP.
That Masterworks kit is incredible. That sick Pearl tubbiness is cranked all the way up on this one
What a sweet video. All amazing kits! While watching the video I was wondering if my kit was gonna be on the list...and it was!! I love my Yamaha LCHO kit.
Awesome job Shane on your playing these amazing sounding kits! Loved it! Great demos! 👍
Thank you Randy!
Fantastic video once again! Hendrix is very interesting to my ears! Pearl Maple / Gum is very tasty and I think my favorite for 2019. But this Tama Bubinga yes is the greatest, it's true! Thanks Dcp!!!
Thank you for your amazing reviews!😃
Thank you for watching, Arin!
I couldn't rank them in any particular order, however, I would imagine the BDC Legend series moving up in 2020 after this video. Overall this kit had the perfect tone and sustain. Being a Ludwig fan for years, I was a bit surprised that I didn't see a Legacy Maple kit on the list although the snare used with the mahogany kit sounded the best of all snares used imo. Thanks again for all you do guys. I'm sure this was a major undertaking to accomplish but this is why you're the best in the biz! Happy Holidays!! Now we need a 10 best snares for 2019. :)
Thanks, Douglas. It's hard work, but there's no work we'd rather be doing. We appreciate your support, and you are spot on when it comes to the BDC Legend kit. A few of us had it as #1 on our list.
The Sonor kit was awesome. BDC was a close second for me.
Great work guys. Have a great Christmas and New Year ! 🎶🎶
glad that amazing broadkaster made it! thanks for what you guys do and happy holidays
We couldn't do it without people like you. Thank you for watching!
The Hendrix and Legend kits sounded great!
Very Very Good made ! This Team did everything Professionally, nice to see you Play! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That British was immense! I have to look up their page! Im impressed how many great drumsets came out this year!
Have a nice holiday
A few of us actually had the British as number 1. Thanks for watching, cheers!
BDC is my number 1
Yeah I agree!..They sound so full and great tone for a smaller kit!..I also really like the sound of the DW kit !!!!
Those Tom Tom chops starting at 18:07 on that DW kit was IMO your best ever. Pure thunder in motion ⚡⚡
All are huge! Specially liked Ludwig Mahogany Legacy, DW and Gretsch ... but CANOPUS YAIBA is my best surprise! just bought one and really sounds amazing!! thanks DCP!!
This video was a real treat! So many great kits. After hearing the British Drum Company kit I can understand why Nicko switched. But for me I still can't get over the Pearl Stadium Shell and the Grestch Broadcaster. Loved them then and I still love em now. Lol.
As I’m aware, All of these Kits are Good, But What really Shows off a Drum kit, Is the Drummer. Great Video! Please Buy More from DCP so We can All Enjoy Videos like These!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Mati. We appreciate your support! Happy New Year.
Thx for all your hard work in production
That means a lot to us. Thanks for watching, Michael.
That pearl masterworks stadium was a game changer ! Big kit !
The Tama Star bubinga, SQ1, British co, and the Hendrix sounded amazing!!! Great vid!!! Awesome drummers!!
On the room mics the Tama and the DW’s sang to me. The Pearls are no slouch either. That Big Gretch kit is so cool.
I like the way you play drums! Thanks for the review.
My favorite is SONOR SQ1 WOOOW
That SQ1 sound massive
Another great video! Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching!
Loved the Hendrix kit. Also the Gretsch kit sounds very good.
Great list...Your #4 is by far my #1, though! That Pearl Masterworks Stadium kit is a beast!!!
Great work on tuning these instruments!
Yamaha Oak, British Drum Legend and Pearl Masters Maple. I used to sell for Sam Ash in Vegas (2003-4) and always liked the Pearl 4-ply Maple.
Very nice. All the kits sounded awesome. Great job of playing Boss-man. I had never heard the Hendrix drums demo'ed before, have read about them. Really impressed, sounded like they would be great in any musical situation. Is that Bill Ludwig the 3rd drum line? Those WFL III did sound good. The No1 on the list excellent sound and great look too. Enjoyed this very much. Hope all goes well for the Holdiay season for Drum Center.
Sending Christmas greetings to all at DCP and all drumming fans everywhere. Keep that tempo steady all and all good things for the new year!!!
The Pearl stadium would be on my list too! Sounds amazing!
Pearls are absolutely bullet proof. I play a masterworks on the road and even with the thin shells they're virtually unbreakable. That said a lot of guys just use the masters (Chad Smith for example) because they're even more durable. And you don't always need 2 kick drums and 5 toms.
Rankings are always subjective AND good job here. I own Sonor Prolite and Ludwig Legacy Mahogany, and in the past have had DW Ltd Ed, Yamaha RC, Gretsch, Pearl Reference, Other Ludwigs, etc. I am very very curious about Tama Star Maple. This video was full of surprises, most notably: Hendrix, British Drum Co., Pearl Gum, and oh my goodness those Broadkasters (size matters).
I love my TAMA bubinga kit!!!!! My next pick or equal choice would be without a doubt the DW, just an amazing kit!!!!!
I play a Sonor SQ2 and a Pearl Masterworks depending on whether I'm playing a show (Pearl) or in the studio (Sonor). That said, I was pretty impressed with both DWs and the Tama, but given the choice of all of them? I'll take the Ludwig. With a full set of A Customs, (K's would be equally good) coated Powerstroke batters and Pinstripe resonants. I'll put that in my spare room, cheers! Thanks for another fantastic video!
Pearl/Gretsch/Sonor/Yamaha/Tama/Ludwig/Mapex/A&F/DW
That 12" tom on the Ludwig kit KILLED! What a tone! :)
Great job, I love watching these videos. I'm a DW drummer myself and I feel like they held their own. I love Tama drums as well but that presentation was not their best imo. Great drums all around, thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for watching, and for the feedback, Brandon.
That Gretsch Broadcaster on the Room Mix is everything!!! I'm in love
Hi DCP,
First, congrats for this great review. What a bunch of amazing kits you guys have chosen ! Of course it remains all subjective...
As a maple DW Collector''s Series kit owner since 2004, this year, I was ready to try something else. After months of research, I concluded that birch will be my next choice. BTW, thanks for your BEST BIRCH KIT review, it helped me out a lot.
Obviously I've been blasted out by the British Drum Company Legend kit ! But I ordered the Sonor SQ1 two weeks ago... Still extremely happy of my choice ! As a canadian resident, the USD rate exchange could'nt allowed me to buy it in the U.S. but still, cheers to your amazing work.
I agree with some people that said you should use the same drumheads and the same mics as a matter of standardization, as far as possible !
Great list and great work, guys.
Thanks, Peter. Happy holidays.
@@drumcenternh Thanks! You, too! I'll see you guys soon.
You literally brought ten different shirts to work that day, Shane? 😁
Great overview, quality production again too
More wardrobe changes than Cher.
Your #1, and the DW Cherry Mahogany were my favorites.
The British kit is awesome!
Man!!! Every one of you are superb drummers!!! I enjoy the different styles. It’s fascinating.
That's very nice of you to say, Blake. Thank you!
I just love this kit and the sound
Great kits for sure. I am leaning towards the Gretsch or the British. I currently play both a Tama BB and an older Rockstar kit as well.
All sound very good and are well made but TAMA has unique balance in sound and tone. Drum Center of Portsmouth happy holidays.
Same to you, Salvy. Thanks for watching!
Cool
The WFL snare is a standout. Pearl Maple/Gum sounded amazing. Not sure why the Tama Walnut/Birch sounded so small and constricted in this demo as we already heard it sound absolutely amazing in the first demo of the year. And yeah that Tama Star Kit is just WOW!
I'm lusting after several of the snare drums. The Sonor, British Drum Company, and the second DW all had amazing snares. I also really liked the mixed brand cymbal combo you had for one of them. I think it was the Ludwig.
Great compilation, even though my list would be slightly different. Your video quality is outstanding!
New years resolution: make a drum gear podcast!
Thanks so much, Tobias. We've considered the podcast thing, but we're pretty sure our mouths would get us into trouble. Happy holidays!
@@drumcenternh Give it a shot, at least once! And you know the intro of Drumeo Gab, just do the same thing ;)
They all sound good in my opinion but I was particularly impressed with the BDC kit!
That Hendrix kit was in a league of its own! Amazing! A burning performance by Shane. Too hot for da hot tub 👍. British kit super good too.
Loved the sound of the Pearl Masterworks Stadium kit.... Daumn!
Seriously, my favorite one probably. Sounded awesome.
As a TAMA guy myself, I was glad to see them take the top prize (as they rightly should), but I was both blown away with & thoroughly impressed by how awesome that Gretsch Kit sounded !!! Thank you for turning me on to those ...
That British Drum Company kit sounds amazing!
They all sound great , the tama s were pretty incredible ,but I’m still lovin on my dw pure tasmanians I got last year , thank you John good and nick d virgilio , the back story and demo by nick sold me , “tas “ is currently serving at Highview east campus church in Louisville ky , mic’d up , gorgeous and sounding amazing every week ,thx for the demo guys !!
It's Shane's list for sure when you see Sonor SQ1 as the first drum set, haha!
John EvRage And Tama as #1 :p
Wow. I totally agree! . I'm lucky to have the Star Bubinga Australian Blackwood kit !. What a joy to play these drums ! I could not be happier!. (maybe a star Maple for the future ;-)
The Pearl MasterWorks Stadium kit has my vote - though all are drool-worthy 🤤🤤
Love the DW mahogany/cherry, followed closely by the Yammies...
That pearl masterworks double bass was the best sounding one of them all.
Agreed, my 1st choice... Incredible sound, just so big.. hmmmm, that sound.
Wow, how strange, that one stood out to me as the least one out of the whole bunch... Very flat sounding to me.
Funny how tastes can differ so much!
I agree the masterworks sounded incredible, but the DW private reserve was a very close second for me.
Forget about the drums - I found myself captivated by some of the cymbals! Loving the big thin Sabian AAX crashes and AAX hats Shane was playing with a few of these kits. But like many others have said here - my fav is the Pearl Maple Gum. If I ever get a birch kit for something different, I liked the Sonor SQ1.
So many nice kits. I think the Yamaha kick sounded awesome! As a complete package, the BDC is the one for me.
The folks at tama know how to make a fine drum kit! How bout that yamaha oak? Loved that kit
my top 3 is
1- British , toms are sweet music and the kick does match the toms
2-Tama Star Bubinga, perfect everywhere
3-Hendrix, the sounds seems like a canon, and it's a hell of a looking drum.
Im having a blast looking Shane smash those crash !!! thank's again for those videos
Ian Touzel I agree.
That ludwig bass drum was an a whole nother level compared to the rest
the set was sweet sounding all around that ludwig.
I think it not being ported has a lot to do with it. Ludwig bass drums sound so full un-ported
Amen. A buddy of mine had a Ludwig Power Tom set which cut through loud amps like it was nothing.
The gretsch 26 was better imo
Some good ass drums! I live in WA but when im ready to buy a set im taking the trip all the way out there. I feel like every one of you guys could identify what sounds I am looking for quickly since you carry the right amount of inventory and experience.
1- British
2- Hendrix
3- Sonor sq1
Awesome drum kits
Sonor SQ1 got me the most excited! All sound excellent.
That Gretsch Broadkaster kit is AWESOME!!!!!!
I already knew the Tama star was the winner before even watching. The way Shane looked when he played it was the first and only time I’ve seen his face just in awe while sitting behind it on camera playing the toms. It literally is the perfect kit and wish I could have it. Too expensive for me but I love watching high quality videos like this to really hear the star drums. I mean it’s literally impossible to have a kit sing like that with that much tone yet still have crazy good low end attack and bite. No matter what tuning the star drums just shine. But I do think the Tama starclassic w/b should’ve been on the list. It’s a great great kid for the price and really has made a splash in the drumming world since it’s come out and to replace a classic like the Bb’s is very hard to do but Tama pulled it off.
I have to agree with your *1 choice...I recently saw Billy Cobham with his Bubingas at a small club in Buffalo and it was, hands down, the most beautiful drum sound Ive heard in my life...and Im getting up there!...lol
Pearl Masters Maple/Gum look and sound the best.
Its begging for some rippin fast long drum rolls.
Excellent video!!!!!
Vídeo of so many great snares! Starting with #10 Sonor SQ1...
The low round sound of the BDC toms is a standout ,must be something about the scandinavian birch and how they are put together ,won me over !
Thanks guys for the comparison all great kits and I liked some better than others, yes it's subjective. So being highly subjective I absolutely Love my Yamaha Recording Custom kit in Surf Green I bought at DCP last January, it's my #1! Merry Christmas.
British Drum Co, Pearl Masterworks and the DW Cherry/Mahogany (surprisingly for me) were my top picks. Yamaha was pretty amazing too, always are! They all sounded the most consistent overall between full mix, overheads and room mic
Yeah,that British Drum Co was amazing .
The mahogany Ludiwg kit sounded very sweet. It's also affordable compared to some of the other kits that cost twice as much.
You guys are coo coo for drjms... and I love it.
OK, I stand corrected. Just re-listened to the British Drum portion, and that kit sounds incredibly *clean* in its tone and sustain. Very controlled, but in a good way. Wow. I wonder how the toms would sound if those on-shell mounts were replaced with INDe drum tunable tom mounts, to give the toms more "bounce." Hmmm...
Loved that red 3 piece. The Sonor SQ1.
Love the SQ1 and the British Legend also the Pearl Maple/Gum was really really nice sounding as well. But I would have to agree that the Tama Bubinga was #1
That Red Viking kit is awesome. Followed by the Ludwig Legacy. Great comparison.
U love the winner. That Tama kit was fantastic. Also loved the Pearl kit. Sonor was good. Do sounds ok but I personally think they are slightly over rated. Beautiful no doubt. That's just one opinion. So many incredible sounding kits these days. And we have a lot of drummers out there that hear things they maybe like better. But that's what's fun about it all. It's a blast hearing all the different experiences and styles that make each drummer unique. To each and all drumheads out there on there journey. Keep on pounding.
Great list! but you forgot the Mapex Black Panther design lab Versatus. Such an amazing sounding kit. Besides that those British drum company cold pressed birch sound awesome and the Pearl stadiums are great as well. But the real win is that Yamaha live oak Hybrid’s bass drum. That thing sounds insane!
Acknowledging that all these kits are superb and that no drummer with ears could possibly be disappointed with any of them I have to say the Ludwig Legacy Mahogany outshone everything else by leaps and bounds as far as I'm concerned. The warmth and roundness of the tone and the immense depth of these drums is mind blowing.
A lot of great kits here. The sq1, the British, the dw, that WFL kit surprised me
I liked that Legend set. sounded great. they all did but that one stood out to me.
#1 and #2 are the best sets there....sound great, both beautiful....i am ordering a tama.....because of the die cast hoops, tom holders, finish, and cost a touch less......but both awesome drum companies !!!
