I’ve been drumming since I was 4 but my family doesn’t have the money to buy a new kit so I’m still playing a 10 year old gear for music kit. Still saving for a better kit though. Hopefully I’ll get one one day.
The great thing about drum kits is you don’t need the best of the best to sound good. Some new heads and some good tuning most things will sound good. Also when you do buy a new kit your money goes a lot further than it used to. You can get a good 4 piece kit for around 500-600 dollars which is insane! I had been saving almost every check I got from work to get this one. Good luck to you. You’ll get there soon.
@@robertredford4332 hay man! Since this comment I managed to find a job and save up for a kit. I found a second hand Pearl session custom on eBay and it sounds great. Btw I checked out your channel you’re sick!!!
Just bought the PDP maple bop with wood hoops and love it. The Remo heads that come with it are DW’s designed for the sound that fits the drums construction. Fantastic. Hardware is excellent. In black ebony.
I have a Concept maple and it's great! Have recorded material with my band on it and played a few gigs on it and I love it. I find the snare a little hard to tune good but it does sound great once you finally get it!
If it came through FedEx just be happy and grateful that it arrived in one piece and the huge box for the tension rods the purpose of it was to take up space to help things not move around so much
Nice video, and beautiful drum set! I'm a 55 year old guy, been playing drums since about age 11. I debated long and hard a few years ago about which 7 pc kit i was gonna buy. It came down to the PDP Concept Maple and the Tama Superstar Classic.....I went with the Tama, and very happy with it, but I probably would have been equally happy with the PDP. Thanks for the cool unboxing video. You seemed like a kid on Christmas morning!
Hey Keith. I also considered the tama when trying to find a good kit. Pretty much the thing that made me choose this one since they were basically the same shells was the finish and the snare drum. both are great kits for the value. And yea, I absolutly felt like a kid on christmas!
Yep. I think they are both a great bang for the buck. And when i was looking at the PDPs, the Silver to Black Fade was my ONLY choice! Gorgeous drums! Can you post a follow up with them all tuned up and tweaked?? That would be cool! Rock on, brother!
Empezaré a ahorrar desde mañana y la tendré a finales de año, editare el comentario cuando la tenga ❤ Edit: al final me compré una pearl roadshow , pero seguiré ahorrando con las calma para esta pdp en un futuro ☺️
I have a 11 Piece kit, two bass, doble Gibraltar rack to hold the cymbals, dw 9000 double pedal and two pedals separate for each bass. I was shocked when i was unboxing, just Like you.
When I saw kids watching videos of other kids unwrapping toys I was like, what’s the point of this?!!!! I guess I understand now 😂 this is awesome! Congrats on your new set! I hoping for one soon. I was also drinking coffee while watching like Ivan Bajović Lol
My dad just bought some for my brother. We found out the hard way that there aren't any snare stands or cymbal stands. The way it was advertised, it looked like a complete set ready to play. It was lies!!
Heads are included, but I bought new ones because I know the sound I wanted. It does come with heads that will get you by until you want to experiment with some new sounds.
I bought this set for my daughter and they didn't put the foam between the bass drum and the tom that fit inside of it so i had to return it and it was a pain in the ass to return it. What are the chances that PDP sends me another set of drums that were not packed correctly and I end up with another set of damaged drums? These are a gift for my daugher.
Chris I'm sorry to hear that. In my expoerience with manufactururs like this, those chances arent very high. Pdp and DW are normally very intentional, and have good quality, but mistakes sadly happen. If you ordered it through sweetwater like I did I would talk to your sales engineer and see what they can make happen. Drum manufactururs make mistakes but sweetwater pretty much always makes them right in the end.
Hi, I bought this beautiful set last week, ebony stain finish ($1400 here in Ecuador :O ). I had to sell my Mapex Horizon kit, my guitar amp and a guitar hardcase to reach the money lol. Of course also saving money last months how much I can. I am very happy to own finally a PDP 7 pieces kit. In my city I only can buy Remo Pinstripe drum heads and I have a few cymbals to make noise in my neighbourhood. Any advice to keep my drum set in epic conditions I am grateful to you. Sorry my english and greetings from Ecuador! :)
Hey. Congratulations on your new kit! As for taking care of it, just be sure you wipe the dust off every once in a while, loosen bolts before you adjust them, lubricate the tension nuts every other time you change heads. Basic stuff. Have fun man!
Between these and the stage customs
They are the two best deals in drums
Congrats on your new kit, bud! I've got a PDP X7 seven piece as well and I love them!
I'm drinking my coffee and watching this drum unboxing video. Priceless
The life we all strive for.
For the Tom's and snare do they come in tuned in already?
Ivan: Croatian or Serbian ...... I'm doing the same right now...

Sweet! PDP are surprisingly good sounding! I just got a concept maple red to black fade and put Remo pinstripes on and the sound is great!

To me this snare sounds easier a bit cranked. Not super high but up for sure. It’s a great kit. More recordings soon to come.
Love from India bro
I have a beginner mapex tornado.
Looking to upgrade to this one.
Long time dream , still can't get it.
Happy to see your drum

How exciting! I want one. I have made one with random drums I've bought.
I see this is from a year ago.. Are these the European Maple shells? They sound rad with the Emps.
Remo drumheads are the best hands down .
Thank you for sharing! Best regards from Northern Germany
Those toms sound great
He knows his PDP. The one way they keep cost down is putting cheap heads on. Changing the heads is a dramatic difference on those kits.
That thing sounds gorgeous

do you remember if the kick drum tension rods had washers?

I know right. I watch my little nephews on UA-cam seeing toys and I’m thinking “how weird is this” then I go and make this video. 😂
it is beautiful
I love em. They sound great.
Nice sounding kit
Did you get any dint's on the bearing edge of the floor toms, i did ,small but still they should have protected them more.
No dents but I had a small crack in my floor Tom. But nothing so bad I felt I needed to send it back.
You really do deserve more views and subscribers this production and sound quality is incredible
Thanks Rufus! Glad you like it.
My dad just bought some for my brother. We found out the hard way that there aren't any snare stands or cymbal stands. The way it was advertised, it looked like a complete set ready to play. It was lies!!
Its a beauty, what do they supply with the shell pack? all heads are included?
Heads are included, but I bought new ones because I know the sound I wanted. It does come with heads that will get you by until you want to experiment with some new sounds.
@@kyleblair Oh I was just curious, I totally agree, stock heads are never good.. goodluck to you...
Did floor toms and bass drum heads come with the set
They did

🎼🇮🇹 Sono le migliori qualità prezzo 🇮🇹🎼
When you bought it did it just say shell pack? I want to make sure before I buy it.
Yep, Just shell pack.
