I'm still rocking a pearl export series I bought new 30 years ago. I've traveled and played this kit at gigs in a lot of different places and it does a good enough job for what it is. Upgraded heads and dampers can really make a difference in the sound of "cheaper kits". I hope to build a "dream" kit some day. Thanks for the great content!
Same here
Those old exports are fantastic!
True
I got a Pearl Forum which is just a rebrand of the export, it’s a sturdy bitch that I splurged on the heads 😂
Also still using my Pearl Forum series I bought in 2001 and after many gigs and road trips over the decades it's still sounding good!
Such a good sounding kit, and Samus, I keep being impressed with your audio production as well!
I didn't mix the audio for these Pearl videos haha I hired Declan White :)
he rules!!!!!
Nice to hear you on this kit, had Portnoy (Porntoy?) levels of sexy tone.
Bur that is you on guitar and everything else, or just drums?@@66Samus
@@66Samus Entertaining as always brother! The mixes though...the drums could be a little louder and more pure sounding IMO. Other than that.....great and hilarious reviews....Great playing too!
Have you ever been on Meinl Cymbals channel to showcase their cymbals? The kit sounds awesome and I love the sound of the cymbals 👍
Can't wait for the day you release your drumyal library
The snare sounds amazing...
Last time I checked my guy had almost 400k subscribers. He deserved way more than that ! Even 800k is not enough. Let's get him to a million and we'll see then if we can catch the second one! I loved your channel since you posted your first video.
P.s : this is one of the best drumkits out there. Enjoy brother.
wow dude, thank you so much!!!
I agree!!! ❤ He is the best
I recorded a drummer that had a Pearl Reference kit 15 years ago, and it was the best sounding drum kit I've ever recorded! The toms sound like there is EQ already applied (you know the typical bass up, treble up, midrange down. It is the most ideal recorded drum sound in my opinion (if you can afford one). Great performance and unveil 66Samus!
I used to be the Southern Area Sales Manager for Pearl Music Europe in the UK. Honestly, the factories and the craftsmen where these are produced are absolutely phenomenal.
It was an absolute pleasure being consulted on the Joey kit from Slipknot, various Masterwork finishes and the Reference kits back then. Absolutely sublime. People often overlook just how good the Pearl Hardware is too. PPM for the ingots used for all the hardware is better than any other drum manufacturer.
What an enjoyable video! Hats off, to your playing too.
that is awesome!! and thank you, cheers!
Really cool story of how they came about making the kit a standard offering. Also equally awesome how dialed in the composition of woods are, and how they make the drums sound. I never realized there was so much more art to creating a drum than a round piece with two skins on each end 😂(but seriously woah)
I just gotta say, looking back at you channel a couple of years ago compared to today, it's impressive the massive improvements in quality and content, your videos keep sounding and looking better and better. These reviews you've been posting are very fun to watch and listen to! Keep up the good work Samus oh yurrrr
One word for you and this kit. AWESOME! Thanks
I played Pearl drums when i was "Semi-Pro" player.I end up with 3 drum set over a period of 12 years...to me Pearl is where i belong.I talk in terms of having a Based sounds where you start your choices of skins,sticks and Beaters...Pearl was where i Was comfortable with what delivery was ask me to give.....mainly rock,hard rock,punk,punk ska and even Prog metal......basicaly Pearl gave me the Opportunity to Work various project.....to be a semi pro i defenetly needed the quality from Pearl Custom Orders....Thank you Pearl Drums Company....beyond awesome product really.
simple... PEARL.. THE BEST REASON TO PLAY DRUMS...I LOVE IT!!
For anyone wondering, backing track list,
Evil Rise-instrumental
Fire and Sword
Cacophonous (thought it said Cacophony lmao I wish)
Thanks Shazam. Great vid samus
I thought the last one was Screamer from Speeddealer (featured in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game)?
@@gamercop911 could be. This is all according to Shazam and Spotify.
Beautiful kit, I have a 2018 Reference kit, and have never been happier.
Your playing is so great, accurate and free flowing man. I can wait to get to a level close to you 💪🥁
I'm always impressed by how good some people are at playing the drums😯👏🏼🥁
Great sounding drums. Great playing...as always.
I love how Pearl blends their woods for the various sizes. Such a cool thing!!
Ima get me one of those Reference One drum kits!!
It’s so fun to watch you play. So creative and clean.. thanks for all you do man.. so appreciated
this kit sounds just incredible
So many years of listening to great drummers treat each drum as a celebration, this kit sounds phenomenal!! Ty for keeping the cymbals low in the mix. That top tom is an opera singer!🤘🥁
Sick kit!!!! Love the channel man. Keep it coming. Cheers
Such a GREAT SOUNDING KIT Samus!!
Dare I say even more delicious than Susan's offerings?
OMG that sounds AWESOME!
That snare sound is fucking killer!!!! What a beautiful kit. And the toms. WOW!!!!
That kit sounds/looks wicked cool Pearl nailed it on this one this just shows Pearl is definitely the best reason to play drums 😁
Without a doubt this may be the best informative video on the Reference kit. I learned a bunch from this video and I just wanted to give you a thumbs up for this..thanks!
thank you dude!!
Ohhhh yuuur! That's a sweet set there Samus!
That’s the best sounding drum set I’ve ever heard. Good job Pearl
That set sounds incredible
When that funk groove came on i swear i never thought this guy would lock in like he did🔥 straight killed this and very very vibrant sounding and stellar fuckin mix🙌🖤
The drums are sweet sounding aswell, i never really thought about the wood too much imo good to know
Just wanted to say, " I loved the blue kit you reviewed a while back" the sound was phenomenal coming through the mix.
That funky tune sounded like something from Sonic CD. Love it.
Really like the diversity of styles during the Pearl kit reviews. As usual, your playing is outstanding! I had never thought about different wood types for different drums, I love the idea! The sound from this kit is really really nice. I am anxiously waiting to see which one you like best. See you Friday!
Drums sound incredible, dude!
Love the sound from the floor tom. Nice video Sam
Wow what a powerful sounding Kit, especially that kick......
Beautiful kit!! Great video man! OHH YURR!
Pearl Reference is up there with Sonor SQ2, Gretsch Renown/U.S.A. Customs, and Tama Star Classic.
Started out with a Forum series many years ago. Heard of the Reference series many years ago as well. I always found the choice of so many options of plies of wood to be so overwhelming with all the different options, but I like how this Reference model just picks the optimal combinations for you. Love Pearl!! I hope to have a Maple Masters series one day!
That was f'n badass! Great choices in music to jam with.
🤘😛🤘
I'm in love with my new Pearl Demon XR 3502D, changes everything..
Lovely sounds
Samus is becoming Pearl’s Nick D'Virgilio. 😂
Good for man! Awesome job.
Man this is SICK!!
Killer dude sick drums and drumming🤘
This kit is awesome… The review, even better.
I think that was legit a video game montage 😂
The Pearl Reference series has always been my favorite, but these drums brought the quality to a whole new level
God that set looks so nice!!!
love your work!!
This is one of the best kits I have seen wow
Ohhhhh yurrrrr!
That snare sounds great!
Thanks for explaining the shell compositions as well as the bearing edges. Makes sense a rounded edge will hug the head better than the traditional 45*
Thanks again dude! Just wanted to say I look forward to your vids and they have reignited my passion for playing 🤘
dude, thank you!!
Those drums do sound very crispy!
🤘 Sounds killer!
That snare, oh yurrrrr!!! 🔥🔥🔥
You are f’in awesome, brother!! 🤩🤩
Play that funky beat. Samus
Dude, love that your rocking the 5 piece lately. All you really need and still groovey and heavy. Love it
I hope you will still like it when I get my custom kit hahahaha ;)
Sounds killer and those pedals are pretty af!! Love ya dawg.
Awesome set 🥁🔥💯❤️
That kit looks the . Even more than and s combined
Great review. Nice sounding drums. And delicato playing! Yaoza Yaoza 😂
Frickin awesome!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁🥁📀📀📀📀📀📀🥸
Sounds great !
such a versatile kit
Like this first message I gave you when I followed, I said I'm not a drummer, so you'll have to let me know if I'm picking up on this correctly. But even just as a guitarist with no drumming experience, I felt like I immediately heard a more pronounced clarity in each of the hits. I think the different woods designed specifically for each tonal sound really made a massive difference!
That Kit looks and sounds amazing
another great video samus, been watching your content for a while and its always informative and fun to watch.
and please tell me we are getting shart week 2023 soon
This kit sounds really good
the song at the beginning is amazing
Those lugs looking great!!!!
Thanks for the video
Love the content! 🙏
very refreshing to see you behind a real kit again!
Waw...sound amajiiing, drummer is great🥁🔥👍
I need a kit like this
You know, this guy is such a light-hearted goofball that it's easy to forget he's a highly skilled drummer
I know you make an effort to make these kits sound great but holy fahkin jeebus these mixed ply shells sound killer. Thanks for a great vid review and for demoing them with different song styles.
Those toms sound so good
Love that kit! One day it will be mine!
Wicked sounding set. Ohhhhh Yuuuurrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Got the new Pearl pedals too! Sweet! Hope the doggos and Carrie are doing well!
it blasts!
Glad you're back
Gorgeous kit! Intro song is Devils dynasty H.H. Holmes wrestling entrance music.
Cacophonous Martin Klem was another cover.
Playing on the kit must be a treat.
Good shit Sam
Wow those drums sound amazing.....it don't hurt that you know how to use them good sir 👍
Pearl just works.. I have a World Series setup from the early 90s and they sound massive..
that sounded so phukking good in the intro wow
Love the kit but damn those cymbals and hi hats sound SO good too!
Samus, you're the best dude! Smokin' grooves and great toilet humor, just my kind. I'm an old guy trying to learn some of your great metal fills and also listen to some jazz to intertwine into my style. Never change brother!
thank you so much man!!
Great sounding kit, but... I was focused more the longer I got into the vid at how beautiful the cymbals sounded. I want them....
I play a Reference Kit with a granite sparkle finish. I must say it’s the best kit I ever played. The 20ply snare has a huge cracking pop to it. The 18in floor Tom is thunderish along with the 22x18 bass drum. Best Kick drum I’ve ever heard. I’d put it up against any kit out there. The whole tone of each piece is spot on. They tune easily, and match up well amongst each other. The mix of different tone woods is like having a heated blanket on a snowy day. Can’t go wrong with this line. Will keep it till I’m gone or handicap. Great video!!!!
Personally I don't think anyone should ever sell any of their kits or equipment. I always feel bad for people when they do. Even myself. lol But luckily picked up a nice kit recently and back in the game after being out far too long in my book. Life without Music (and drums) would be a Mistake!
OH YURRRR🤘🤘. One of if not my favorite color fade that Pearl does. My Vision series is the same color. Amber Fade is the name if Im not mistaken.
I play a pearl Master custom. Sunrise fade, bought it 20 years ago. Sounds good but nothing like this!
At first glance I thought you were playing the pro digital kit because it sounded so damn good!!! The sound and the tone is unbelievable. .
The tune is ON POINT!!! Lol! Fuck yeah man! 🤘🏾🔥🤘🏾 Sounds like a Lamb of God b-sidex
Very nice! Attention to detail, bring the quality to another level! I would be curious to hear it with clear heads
love your videos
Great video man! Proud owner of a pearl Masters kit and i love every bit of it! i would love to see a review of a sonor SQ kit, i was left speechless when i played it a few years ago.
