Definitely one of the cooler drumming origin stories I’ve ever heard. I’m a big fan of Art of Drumming, and now I’m very excited to see what Pascal does next.
Great Drummer, great channel & great kit. after 30+ years of playing, I decided to treat myself to a 'proper' kit. I looked at everything that was important to me - Sound, feel, quality hardware, a look I'm proud of and a connection to history. Those were my personal requirements. After going through everything, there was only one brand left. The Brooklyn then gave me the high end satisfaction at the most accessible price. 6 years later and I love it more than ever (longest I've ever had a kit). I can therefore see why he made this move. Everyone has their reasons, those were mine.
GEWA is a german company distributing multiple US Brands (in large parts of Europe I think) they have Gretsch, Remo, Latin Percussion, Paiste, Gibraltar to name a few.
Well, gee, all I did was play drums for 50 years, practice for countless hours and play thousands of gigs with actual musicians. And I BOUGHT all my Gretsch drums.😒
@@supraphonic88 That’s not my point. It used to be that you had to be a known quantity with a name to get an endorsement. Steve Smith tried to get with Sonor when he was with Jean Luc Ponty but was turned down. It wasn’t until he got the Journey gig that they signed him. Steve Smith! Now he could have had a few hundred followers on UA-cam and he’s a star? I just don’t get it. Call me stupid or old if you must. I don’t want free stuff. Cause then it doesn’t have the same value. I am proud of the instruments I play and every dollar I spend on them is my own choice. I’m afraid I just don’t understand the A&R strategy of these companies. It doesn’t make any sense to an old moron like me.
@@terrydrums It's just economics Terry. Gretsch are a drum manufacturer - they want to sell drums. Pascal is the face of 'Art of Drumming', a hugely successful, widely followed series. By taking a Gretsch endorsement, he is saying these drums have the flexibility to cover all the styles, then he demonstrates it to an audience of drummers. Gretsch takes the economic 'risk' of providing him with free (or reduced price) gear in exchange for exposure that they hope will lead to sales. It begins and ends there. Nobody gets anything because they 'deserve' it, they get stuff when the numbers stack up. I think Pascal is excellent, so it the channel & so is the Gretsch Brooklyn (my kit!)

Pascal is a great player. Nails everything.
Congratulations Pascal, more than well deserved 👏🏻🥳
Very well deserved! Great partnership.
So glad to hear Pascal expressing his own style. He’s an incredibly talented drummer.
High cymbal gang 🤜🏻
We get to hear Pascals voice for the first time!! hahaha
Not if you watch AOD...
IKR???
Wonderful drummer!

awesome drummer!
How do they mix these drums to sound this way???
John Deere signature snare ?
What series is he playing? Sounds great.
Looks like Brooklyn in Grey Oyster to me
@@Khempejjer Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s a Brooklyn kit. This kind of Oyster wrap is offered only in the Brooklyn series.
@@MassimoDagostin yes, pretty sure it's a Brooklyn since it has the silver Gretsch badge...USA Custom and Broadkaster have a golden badge.
Brooklyn
I'm confused... this channel is GEWA DRUMS , but they are promoting Gretsch drums?

We all pay for our stuff so get in line Terry. Build your own social media platform if you want free stuff
And how many people worldwide are you putting the Gretsch logo in front of every day?
