Gorgeous kit. I totally love the look and lugs but either the toms were not mic's right or this Kapur wood is too dark of a sound because I never felt like I heard them. I have a superstar hyperdrive kit in similar sizes (all birch) and there's no mistaking the toms mic'd or not.
BionicleSaurus I'm not sure I'd like that, personally. I found the Dynamic Bronze too dry. I still think the G Bubinga was the best SLP snare they made, followed by Black Brass. Obviously subjective to taste.
Une batterie au son "fûts courts", avec le son correspondant aux peaux "Evans G1 pour Tama" ni très ouvertes, ni très étouffées. Un hardware Tama globalement sans reproche. Un bois aux veinures très jolies sous le vernis. Qui pousse sûrement dans les contrées des pays producteurs? Renforcé par résine et vibre de verre. De là à y entendre le son du bois, voir de le comparer à de l'acajou (africain ou d'amérique du sud??) ou carrément du bubinga... Bon. Du coeur ou de l'aubier?
Janne Väätäinen why? I think they are awesome and I wish my tom depths were shallower! They allow way more flexibility when positioning your toms over the bass Drum without a major loss in sound! I've tried everything to get my standard 10x8 and 12x9 rack toms lower like I want them but they are literally less than an inch away from the kick and the only thing that would allow me to lower them more is if I had shallow tom sizes like these! I don't want to change any of the diameters of the drums like going down to a 20" kick because that will most definitely result in a huge change in sound where as changing the depth does not affect the drum near as much
There should be choices. Every drum maker makes the same kind of drums. To me, sound is the most important thing, and for heavy metal, deeper and bigger is better. Deep toms must be put on an angle. When you get used to it, that is not a problem at all.
As a Keller DW and GMS owner in standard depths, I can without a doubt, 100% disagree with you. I have an Odery tigerwood birch in 10×6.5n 12x7, 14x11 and 16x13 w/20 inch kick. All shallow and that kit BURIES the other two which cost 3 to 4 times the amount. Also prefer it to my Canopus Birch in standard depths. Easier to tune, quicker and ROUNDER. It is the shallower depth that brings out the superior tone imo. I have bigger, deeper and darker sounding kits but tone-wise it's the fast sizes without question
This has such a punchy powerful dynamic it'd be excellent for metal.
Rodney Holmes is the truth!

Rodney Holmes!!! We need full performance! Please!!!)
can't comment as to the sound of the drums, because i'm watching on a smart phone, but nice playing 👍🏼
Never heard of the wood, but very nice indeed.
The toms sound a bit flat to me. I imagine they'd sound better with different heads. Not a big fan of Evans G1s.
I prefer g2 clears or even G12/G14.
This guy is awesome
2:10 - 2:30 Pure genius!
Do the SLP snares come in mahogany.?
Are there going to be any more slp kits to go with all the snares or are these the only kits?
Imagine an entire kit to go with the SLP Bronze snare!

Fair enough. I just have a thing for metal kits, rare as they are.
I'd love something not as warm as the studio maple, but still maple, maybe like a g-maple kit
Less cymbals and more kit. With that said, your one bad mama jama!
This kit is like dark. It’s do dark. It’s like a dark sound
Rodney sits at a weird angle behind the kit. Bizarre, but he pulls it off.
I always wonder why these drums never come with Remo heads, or at least give the buyer a choice.
I believe Tama has some kind of deal with Evans. The only high end tamas that have remos shipped with them are the Star drums.

Should have played it with more variation of styles, jazz, classical etc, you basically just played fusion.
Beautiful kit but I am not loving the spurs on the kick.
Rodney is total bad azzz!
Enough of the shallow and small toms.

You're personal preference doesn't determine the direction any given company should or shouldn't go for one of their kits.
