Mick Fleetwood's "The Cherry Picked"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2013
- Ever wonder what it would be like to develop your next Custom DW Drum Kit with John Good? This in-depth story takes you from start-to-finish as Mick and John discuss, develop, build, and play Mick's 2013 Fleetwood Mac touring kit. Mick said it best, "The Cherry is on top, and the Cherry has been picked." That's right, new for 2013, we have added a new shell type to the Collector's Series...ALL-CHERRY (HVLT Shell Construction), and "it does a thing." John explains how Cherry's unique nature and grain structures afford it a luscious warm sound with tons of bottom end, yet well-defined attack, and most of all...a very clearly defined note. Mick described it best as like "a loaf of bread" with a hard crispy crust on top and a soft warm body underneath. DRC1

Mick is totally taking the piss out of this whole event. I love it. As I think he is sincere in appreciating the process of drum making, he couldn't care less about the technicalities and details of these drums. His entire career is based off his FEEL for playing drums and what is appropriate for the song. I am a carpenter, a drummer and a DW drum kit owner and even still, some of this seems ridiculous in relation to the pure emotion that Mick can evoke in his playing.
DW has taken making Drums to a new level. Mick Fleetwood is one of my favourite drummers of all time. The drums looked beautiful and sound great. Thanks for sharing the collaboration and process with us.
Please. The only thing going to the next level is the price.
DW are over priced trash.

TAMA are infinetly superior ;)
When those drums are finished, I'm overwhelmed with a desire to eat them.. strange.. they look incredible.
Incr-edible
Well, keep in mind the work they put into those drums. They go through and match the drum shells by note, hand paint the shells, and tune them before they send them out. That's not even the half of it. These aren't made in some foreign country overseas. They're made right here in America. That's something to be immensely proud of. The custom series aren't for everyone. That's okay. That's why DW is putting out other series like the performance and design series.
Mike Fleetwood is such an under appreciated drummer. He is such a master of playing within the song to support the music. He doesn't put on a gymnastics exhibition he just plays great grooves with tons of feel.
John Good is soooo in love with woods and materials of all sorts... it's amazing!! :)
Ridiculously cool! Fascinating to hear how the orientation of the plies affects the tone of the shells. The kit looks amazing and sounds every bit as good as it looks.
Thank you gregmporter
Man! How cool was that video!! What an honor being able to watch the concept come to life!
Thank you
Very nice to see and hear what comes from tested and re-tested physical results. That is, as opposed to just phoning it in and tweaking it in post-production with pro-tools on a computer. Keep it honest with the right materials combined with hard-tested honest talent. Mick Fleetwood seems to know and honour that art + science. Good on ya mate. P.S. So sorry and RIP Christine McVie.
every time I think about my ultimate new drums I dream myself sitting in John good's office and laying it down in scrutinizing preference, the sizes, the details, tonality and finish... but then short after I wake up...
How can you knock Mick? Technical muscle is not the only measure of a great drummer. Think of songs like "Gold Dust Woman," "Tusk," "The Chain" and you can hear how Mick colors the music. He has a style. He's an original.
He's fucking basic.
The only reason he stayed with them is the band has his name.
I love this musician's approach from Mick...He has that exponent of hearing what his audience looks for in sound appreciation. And for DW to accommodate that is phenomenal. I just got an old Chinese model set for free and there is no comparison to DW's made and look. So, I can appreciate a great sound from the drum characteristic's in the type of wood and granulation application that is renown
..."OUTSTANDING"...Now I know which drums to want for Christmas...
We'd love to have you out! We have a factory tour almost every Thursday at 2 pm! The kits look the way they do because of some great, hard working people here!
We are all so lucky and we appreciate the opportunity we've been given! We'll keep making videos for as long we can so you watch more DW's being made!
wow, DW just keeps getting better and better.
even,i,don't,buy,that,are,you,on,commission?
DW you guys are a class act! The fact you take the time to very kindly monitor and reply to people's comments, is something that I appreciate and regard highly! That's also a smart business move, as I feel more compelled to deal with a company that shows consideration as such.
Man!! What an awesome video!! I've been such a huge fan of DW and videos like these make me more and more of a fan. Just seeing all the detail and thought that Mr. Good puts into making every single kit is incredible. I just recently received my Collectors kit and I cannot tell you enough how awesome this kit is. I long for the day that I will be able to order an exotic kit. It would be awesome to sit down and discuss the construction of it with Mr. Good himself. One can only dream...
I remember reading a coment a fan posted in one of your videos saying it would be great to record a whole drum kit being made for a famous drummer, and now you gave us this video. I want to congratulate you for being such a great company, for caring so much for your clients, and pouring so much love in every single thing you guys do, you're without a dubt one of the best companys in the world. May god keep bleesing you, and keep up the great work you already do.
im just enjoying the emotion John and Mic are sharing OMG how inspiring to see these two cut gring and chop their way through the steps to produce such an amazing experiment of this concept into such an acheivement. Wizards in production willing to share their knowledge. Thank you both so much
Awesome you got to meet him! A very gracious, informative guy for sure! Thanks for choosing the Concept series and letting is know what you think! Enjoy! What finish type did you get??
Let me first say, I'm not a drummer. I do admire them!!! And to watch the creation of this instrument by this company was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! As a never-ending novice woodworker, my jaw dropped!!!!
Companies like Tama and Pearl make drums for Drummers. DW makes drums for musicians. So much detail put into these beautiful kits and this video truely demonstrates that. Thanks for this upload.
The best sounding drums ,attention to detail and obsession !We all win ,I've had 25 different kits and just got a collector's series ,they are the best drums I've had ,cheers
Great bass drums go unnoticed to often! We appreciate your request and we will take note of it!
Thanks Marco. Glad to hear it's transparent that way. We are indeed obsessed with this instrument
16:30 Love it! John Good's passion for drums shines through lol. That definitely put a smile on my face. Now I really REALLY want a DW kit.
Thanks so much! Glad we caught your attention!
It really incredible too see someone absolutely in love with what they do. Jon Good is absolutely all in, and it's amazing.
We love hard working people and it sounds like that's who you are!
I love seeing cats like John Good have that kind of enthusiasm because then I don't feel so crazy. . .I get him 100%: I live for all things music, drums, guitar, recording, etc ...
We are proud to have you as a part of our family! JG is the woodology Uncle for many generations!
We are happy to hear you think that! Thanks!
Those are some DEEP sounding drums! Well done DW!
Fair enough our friend! Thanks for choosing DW!!
Ok! either way we really appreciate your enthusiasm and enjoy your beautiful country and drumming in the meantime! :)
His kit he played on "The Dance" sounded amazing.
John Good is a genius! I had the pleasure of meeting him personally at Sweetwater Gearfest 2013 in Fort Wayne, IN. What a super nice guy. Lovin' my Concept Series 7 pc. and the price! Keep it up folks!!!
Seriously Guys.. Why are you kits so damn beautiful???!!
Another amazing accomplishment by JG and DW Drums. I love these videos. The craftsmanship, beauty, and connoisseur qualities so meticulously integrated into such gorgeous and precise musical instruments overwhelms me each time I view these clips. The full, deep, and warm pitch they harvest from this cherry engulfs the very soul. I so wish I could afford such a kit. Yes - I have imagined "being the one" lucky enough to sit down with Mr. Good for that life-changing journey. But then I wake up ... and tell myself how my Performance kit is STILL very nice.
Mick is the reason I play DW. I’ve watched this video a hundred times!
We love your profile name our friend! That is a unique snare you got from Dale's. Those guys rule over there! We are very happy to hear you are enjoying the sound and looks of your 8x14 Cherry snare. thanks so much for choosing DW!!
Had to revisit this video after looking at a few "comparison/shootouts" and I love the look and sound of this kit Mick is playing.
Gorgeous kit. This is why i love DW! John knows drums and his passion shows. Keep the videos coming, i enjoy them all.
Overpriced shit
Good Lord! How awesome do those drums sound! ? Awesome and unique , wow ! I'm at a loss for words..... just wow!
Absolutely beautiful kit!!! The cherry wood drums sound amazing, warm and dark rich tones. The Gold hardware is striking and makes the kits shine. DW technology and passion for amazing sound definitely comes through. Mick is a brilliant drummer, this year with Dreams being rediscovered showed exactly his excellent time, metronome perfection on that song. Even the Roland logo is gold on Mick’s pd-7 rubber pads, nice touch.
We love you, too! We will keep on keeping on!
John Good is such a nerd in the best possible way!! He's done so much for drums and it shows in the massive success of DW. I've been playing DWs since 1991 and they were the best then and they are still the best now!! Thank you Don and John for the unparalleled drums and hardware!!
👏
That's a unique shell, hardware and finish combo! We love you, too!
It speaks in a sweet way! Thanks!
This video really helped solidify me with my selection of my Cherry Kit that I ordered earlier this year. I love the kit more than my Maple Kit! Thanks again DW!!!
It is very clear that dw drums conceived to introduce each drum with a unique idea and philosophy. lovingly he devotes his time to all drummers on the planet. I feel very afortunido use the best kit in the world ... there is just one Dw =)
great video guys, taking us through the process etc...I'm a terrible carpenter and musician but i adore drums and their construction, materials !
I love these drums. The wood is just gorgeous.
Great drums, great story and fabulous video
Cherry is a beautiful wood, and DW drums make such durable and beautiful drums. They're quite possibly the best drums on the market.
I fangirl sqealed a few times when John started tapping those raw shells. BTW, I got my 9500TB two-leg Hi-Hat stand in yesterday, and I LOVE IT! Lots of neat little details like the design in the middle that also acts as a memory lock, the spurs, the two different top rods, the adjustable tension, the comfortable heel plate, even the drum key that it comes with is burly and amazing. You guys did the thing 1000-fold, and I will be buying more products from you guys in the near future =)
I'm loving that cocktail kit !!
Holy smokes what a gorgeous kit!
I am definitely going to go Tour the Shop! Seeing it on Video is one thing, but seeing it in person with your own eyes, smelling the Wood, hearing the Tapping with your own ears and feeling the History is quite another! Wish I could afford Pizza for you and your whole Crew John! See You Soon!
Thanks for your comments! Enjoy your drumming for now and we look forward to making you a kit!
wow... that was cool. John Good is an artist and scientist!
That kick is amazing. I will own one of these kits one day. Don't discontinue the Cherry in the next 10 years lol
beautiful sound this kit has
Thanks so much! JG and Mick are the men with the plan!
That cocktail kit sounds phenomenal!
Awesome! We're sure it was a great show! Thanks!
Thanks for your kind words! Glad you are liking this video!
Wow that must be so cool to have your custom drums made exactly for you to match your style I recently played a DW kit for the first time im now saving my money dreams can come true
This video helped me to decide upon purchasing an amazing 8x14 cherry HVLT 13 ply at Dale's Drums. John Good hand-signed the drum so perhaps it was a prototype. Anyway, the drum has the fattest backbeat I've ever heard. Such body and it doesn't hurt that it's drop dead gorgeous.
Happy you did! Thanks for watching!
JG inspires for sure!!!
Nothing to report of at the moment about JG's business practice but we can say he is completely involved with all things production and R&D that are DW's. The guy is non stop and works with his team on a daily basis to insure the best quality drums and hardware while staying very active with his new ideas!
Amazing kit. Wow!
Incredible sounding kit.
Sounds like shit. No tone.
DW are rubbish
no worries! that doesn't get us down. we're stoked to be able to offer different sounds for different tastes. It would be super boring if everyone liked the same thing. Great to hear how much you love the M/Ms though. Can't go wrong!
that desk is straight from the 80's! desk calendar and a rolodex!! holy moly.
hehe
John's Keeping it Old School! LoL! His Innovations over the Years have been Amazing!
And then there's the big accounting calculator lol.
While watching your other videos I saw you used a banana ply which blew my mind.On my honeymoon in St.Lucia we stopped with some locals and saw the banana trees and learned about there rapid growth and there single crop...then they are cut down and there sucker plants begin new growth. It was amazing and quickly became one of my favorite trees. You guys blow my mind. Maybe one day I could be finishing your drums instead of staircases!!!
I really wish in my heart of hearts that I wouldn't have to shell out 12 grand for a kit...I'd give these a go anytime... Kudos to DW for your love and investment in the art and craftsmanship of drum making!
It was very cool to receive a reply to my comment. I love the passion this company has for making drums and the timbre matching and putting the note in the shell to tune to if you choose to its genius. I tune to notes. I've went from a pearl export to mapex saturn to now a sonorsclassix kit but one day soon I know I'll have a custom kit from DW! I wish I could create drums for a living you are all very admired by me!!
How professional these guys are..!! Damn Amazing😍
Hello Austin! We are so excited to make you a Cherry kit. The finish you have found is simply a Natural Lacquer over the Cherry shells. Thanks!
Our pleasure! We do all we can to get to every single comment! Sounds like you know your stuff with finishing! Thanks so much for your story and congrats on the marriage!
We hear you! We'll see what we can do!
Mick looked like a kid at Christmas playing his new kit.
Thanks for the reply. I went with the 6 piece Ruby Glass and chrome hardware. 8x10 and 9x12 rack toms (standard maple shells), 12x14 and 14x16 floor toms (VLT shells), 18x22 bass drum (X-Shell) and 6x13 snare (10+6 ply) all shells with reinforcement hoops. They look and sound amazing!!
Awesome tones geez i think i've found a new kind of wood to love, first was mahogany now is cherry. Some day i will be a proud owner o a DW cherry kit. Thank you guys for making such killer drums.
Sounds like a good finish idea!
awesome videos you should do this with every other kit you make, at least the first part so i can drool all over my laptop again
great video, amazing drums, without a doubt Mr. John is an amazing teacher, taking all drummers to school every time!!
thank you!!!
I love watching the videos where the factory makes an appearance, it puts a smile on my face knowing that my beloved DW is being made in this (most likely hasn't been made yet, although has been ordered) factory. I also have a fantastic sickening feeling that as soon as my kit arrives, I'm going to order another one straight away... haha. The only cherry that I could possibly get now is John personally holding up my 16" floor tom to a camera and giving it a signature tap...... one can dream.
I loved seeing mick get his drums before his kissing the wood was so sweet
God damn this makes me want a DW so bad
Go for it Harry!! It wont disappoint! I just bought a Performance Kit....I cant stop playing it!!!and it looks absolutely amazing. Definitely the best sounding kit I have ever played in over 45 years....
Thanks, thanks and thanks! And thanks for watching!
We hear you our friend and we are never trying to claim that we are the best and so much better then anyone else in these price ranges. All drum companies have great sounding drums for sure but we are of the opinion there are differences in shell making that can change the sound. Have a great weekend!
I could watch DW drums being made ALL DAY LONG. I wish there was a way for a guy like me to get into a job working at that factory! Any type of job at a place like that would freakin' awesome!
The technicalities and nuances escape me. I do however admire the knowledge, skill and dedication that
results in such a beautiful product.
That kick sounds FREAK'N AWESOME!!!
His passion is in surmountable! We would love to make you a kit when you're ready!
One of the most solid drummers, I've ever heard..... Human metronome ☝️✌️🤟
That cherry kit sounds incredible
You are amazing Mirkko! Sounds like an original idea but the Edge rings are darn heavy and would prove tough to mount. Although we are confident we have mounts or snare stands that could handle the weight. The sound has proven not up to par through R&D also. Thanks for asking!
Very productive in working together entertaining to average these goals consist of artists and builders .... flexibidad steps due to the great job. thanks for being my big family ..
