      This video is fab!!! NDV is da man!! What an elegant, groovy and absolute star of a drummer he is!! And a top bloke!!! I was there for the whole BBT tour and especially the Halifax gig was pretty magic and of course the final outburst of energy at Hackney Empire was too!!! Keep those vids coming!!

    • @TXMusicDrummer
      @TXMusicDrummer 4 роки тому +1

      @@james10890 Personally I don't know. Only difference I can discern is that my version is from 2012, three years before it was included in the product line. I got mine at PASIC in Austin, and there were several Organic Ride prototypes. Some were more lively than others. I picked one that had plenty of stick but had a touch more spread to it. That bell though really cuts through. No problems being heard over loud guitar amps. My only thing about the Organic is that it's more for medium to louder rock in larger venues verses softer low volume jazz or church in smaller venues. Since I now play more small venue shows, it doesn't get much use, though I did use it last month for a fill-in rock gig.

    Great video, love seeing stuff like this. I’d just like to know what Big Big Train songs were used in this video, I am starting to get into their music as of recently. Also, I’d love to see Sweetwater make some videos on the Gretsch Renown (since it has a new finish this year and there hasn’t been a video of the RN2 yet) and some of the Full Range series snare drums, the new bass drum pedals from Pearl (Redline and Solo Eliminators) and Gibraltar, and maybe even a video on how to order a custom drum set through Sweetwater (like a Pearl Music City Custom, Gretsch USA Custom, DW Collectors or SJC, I know Nick did the video on the Music City kit for Snow Live but I’d love to see a video on how to get a custom kit through Sweetwater). And big shoutout to my sales rep Josh Strid for always being a great help, and to the people in pro audio who helped my dad out last week when he called about something for a Bluetooth adapter for a speaker system and made his first official Sweetwater purchase. You guys are the best!!
