They don't sound too bad. The Evans sticker was a hilarious touch. I like your sense of humor. I'm curious to hear what they sound like using Evans Hydraulic heads.
@@silvermineband2719I definitely am SURE they will have more body with the Pinstripes. A fuller sound than the Evans. I remember this kitten now I want one. The Tama pancake kit is way overpriced. I feel like this kit probably has a little more body then the Tama kit as well
I like how the snare sounds dry and punchy without sounding really cranked tight. It also has really clean overtones which might just be from the tuning. And you were right about the kit sounding very eighties, I was reminded of the drum sound on "I'll Wait."
BEFORE the Tama Club Jam/Cocktail Jam, the DW Low Pro, or even the Ludwig Questlove Breakbeats kit ... there was this. So goofy. But a lot of fun. Glad to see you shining light on (and enjoying) these drums, Dave!
They sound good. The thing with any pancake kit is the shell material really doesn’t matter. There is so little of it and no bottom head that it just isn’t doing much. I’ve got a bunch of random shells lying around, I need to make a kit like this to leave at our practice space.
OMG I'm in freakn tears here! That Magazine! I got given a pair of drumsticks, and a Modern Drummer magazine for Christmas, with a promise of a kit for my birthday. THAT"S THE MAGAZINE! I read that thing front to back 5000 times! There's a spread of HUGE kits in there from Pearl if memory is right. OMG DUDE!!! I cannot believe this.
I recently refurbished a 1980s REMO Encore double bass kit that I scored for $300. REMO drums go for cheap money but they are for sure a hidden gem in the drumworld.
Now this brings back memories. Playing at my childhood church in the mid 90’s on this same exact kit. Now you’re making me want to find one!! It sounds amazing!!
So excited to see this!! theres not many good recordings of Remo stuff out there but it normally sounds so good! I have 2 master touch snares and an 18, 10, 12, 14 master touch kit! love it!
I do have that issue of MD and I played those REMOS back in the day at Atlanta Pro Percussion.... Oh the memories and the percussion shellless drum kit actually had a great sound. Gotta love the late 80s early 90s!
Damn, I'm impressed by the sound! :O The sound and mix of the toms is pretty 80's, but it's way better than I expected. Kick sounds solid. Snare sounds super!
I own one, love it! Takes a little to get used too, but great for small gigs. I also put mesh heads on it and it's the best practice kit for an apartment. I own a 90s Slingerland that was also made with Remo Acousticon shells. They can sound absolutely amazing with the right tuning and head combo.
Nice! The people I knew who’d actually played Acousticon kits said they were amazing. That tom sound you got was killer for any brand or era. There is something just right about Pins on 80s and 90s kits.
I gigged with one of these kits for years in bars and clubs back in the 1990s and while no sound engineer ever thanked me for the paltry depth of the kick drum, it sounded great to me and was the best logistical decision I ever made as a working drummer. I went from being the first to arrive and last to leave guy to being mid-tier load in/out gent with the rest of the band. 100% satisfied with my purchase and thrilled to hear again the sound those shells made when being pulled out of the soft case.
Sounds great and the snare takes the cake. Back in ‘92, I bought a 5” deep Remo snare. It was a no-frills standard snare made out of their composite fiber and epoxy, but it was one of the best sounding and most versatile snares I’ve ever owned.
I bought some Toms and a Snare at a Goodwill for quite cheap, fourty something dollars! Years earlier, my dad bought me some drums at a Goodwill: One Floor Tom, One Snare, One Mounted Tom, One Bass Drum, One Crash/Ride Cymbal, and One Hi-Hat, along with a Snare Stand, Cymbal Stand, and Kick Pedal. Now I have a full on drum kit!Unfortunately though, I only have one Cymbal and it’s boring to play drums with one cymbal.
I have one of these and it’s amazing. I’ve used it on many gigs with great results. Use a REMO Muffl ring on the bass drum. Pinstripes on the toms. I upgraded the tom mounts to INDe mounts and L-arms.
AL FIN !!, thanks David ... i didn´t found one video dedicated to listen the remo legero. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE. thanks to put it again on eyes from everyone. SOUNDS KILLER.
Wow those sound killer, or as always David makes them sound killer. I love concert toms and they're having a bit of a revival these days. Excellent video as always! 🤘😎🤘
Man, between David and Wade over at The Drum Thing/Garbage Stream they are keeping the world of cool, unusual and vintage gear alive and I love it. Always thought Remo made some really interesting drums but haven't had a chance to play any myself yet
im so glad to finally see that snare somewhere! I have one and I actually love it. I choose it over high end snares for gigs and studio sessions all the time. such a weird drum but you can get it to pop!
I like this one more due to the sound & compact sizes of the drums more then those huge other 80's single headed kits you have featured, Cool find & video.
I had a drum instructor/high school band director in the 90’s that had this kit. He had wooden prosthetics due to losing his legs in a car wreck, and could still transport and set these up himself (he kept his purple Premier’s from the 70’s at home). They sounded really nice and the concept was pretty well executed. Remo Acousticon drums are actually great sounding. Their later offerings were really nice kits, and they would custom make a wrap from any image you sent them. I really wish they’d taken off.
So good!! I had a grey Remo Discovery kit back in the day, but a buddy had the dark red Mastertouch. Always jealous. Cool kit man, and you got it sounding epic!
Amzing snare sound! I owned two Remo kits WAY back, so I can attest to their nice sound. The kit records exceptionally well. I'd say you have a WINNER!
I've wanted one of these: it's the Pearl Rhythm Traveler way before that kit existed. And yours came with Pinstripes pre-fitted! And you're right: 3" is the smallest diameter difference that allows drums with regular hoops to nest. Frame drums nest a little better, but it's a different sound.
I did something like this to an old Premier kit I bought from a friend for $100.00. The original kit was needing to be moved out every Tuesday for music night and it was just too damned heavy, so I created a jig for shell trimming on my table saw and went at it. Losing the lower head and half the shell for the toms lightened it up a LOT, and cutting the kick drum in half (but keeping both heads) made the set so light I could almost carry it with one hand. The Premier shells were also some sort of compressed cardboardy product, but before reinstalling the hardware, I painted the bare interior with a coat of "wood hardener" (no jokes, please) that permeated into the cardboard material and added some extra rigidity to the shells. I don't think the kit sounded any worse after the makeover, it saved my back and we used it for several years until my drummer buddy who was playing this kit deserted the band one night during practice. To save the band, I switched from playing guitar back to drums, but eventually brought my Yamaha Stage Custom kit out of storage and played that for the remaining years until Covid killed the band (not literally - we all lived). I sold the Franken-Premier kit for $150 on Craigslist!
Actually one cool ‘old school’ item Remo used to have was that contraption pictured on the kick drum in the Legero add: the donut ring muting system. It worked fantastic. The only problem was the plastic ring eventually cracked around the drum bearing edge and was useless. Remo also invented a dampening system (back then) that used cotton ‘snakes’ stuffed with beads, that were held in place by aluminum/Velcro brackets. They were used sitting against either the batter or reso head…or both. In fact, today I use a Dollar Mart door draft stopper for the same purpose. I tape one by the reso and one by the batter and my kick sounds killer. THAT’S a hack you should film and try!
I have a friend here in Brazil who had a kit exactly like this one, but in white. I used to borrow his kit, like a lot! Hehehehehehe Yes, the snare was the spotlight, really responsive and accurate tuning. The drum set itself wasn't bad at all. It comes down to one's expectations...that is what it is, a shallow drum set...if you're not expecting a huge sound...it's gonna work just fine. It worked just fine for me, back in the 90s.
I still have mine with the original hardware. I recently brought it in from my garage after years of having it stored there. I cleaned it using your cleaning tips. I updated my cymbals and pedal. Replaced all the heads. I used your recommended heads for the snare. However, I used Aquarian Studio heads for the toms and bass drum because I wanted to tune them lower to get a deeper warmer sound. I'm pretty happy with it. It's the only drum set my wife lets me keep inside the house because of its compact size it sounds great, and I'm pretty happy with it.
I subscribed to MD back then, I was in high school then and don't specifically remember reading that article, but some of the ads brought back some memories!
The old REMO heads just got no-clipped into the backrooms with that move there Rdavidr... (seriously though that was a sick transition, props to the great video man!)
I had one of these kits back in the day it was a phenomenal kit. I eventually swapped out the Legero bass drum for a regular bass drum and used the Legero toms. Quickest setup and breakdown times ever
That kit sounds absolutely fantastic to my ears! 😍👍 I also very much enjoy the humorous video edits 😁 And seeing Louis Bellson in that brochure reminds me of his Remo PTS drums ads in music magazines in the early 80's; I wonder what *any* of those would sound like today, 40 years later!? 😅
They sounded pretty good with your tuning and recording setup. The song you played fit the kit-sound well. After all the materials used, what was the final cost at recording time?
I own a white one and I'm soooo glad I picked it up. A few months after I bought it be picked up a gig at a place where that stage that is only 8 by 10. Came in very handy and sounds amazing when it's unmiced, kick travels well and produces a ton of low end. I still play the 12" rack and floor sometimes with my 28" bass drum. They really do sound good, and the shallow tom is nice with my 28.
This sounds great for what it is! I bought an old Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit for a home practice mesh head kit for €200. very similar sizes. I couldn’t believe how good it sounded with real heads on it! Temped to take the silentstrokes off after watching this 😂
Around 1985-86, I had a Remo PTS drum set which was pre-tuned heads that were on there with quick locks it was okay. The worst part was buying the heads that were specific to that kit because it was a pretuned set and only held on by latches so the heads were already pre-tightened so it also made them a little more expensive.
Yet another great entry into the world of odd percussion, (or something). :-) Since this entry is mostly Remo themed, have you ever played or reviewed those old pre-tuned clip-on heads that Remo once marketed? You can see Louie Bellson playing them in several videos here on UA-cam.
I have a custom made nesting kit, with 22x16 bassdrum and 12x6 and 14x10 toms. The toms just go inside the bassdrum, which has been cut in half a little before the resonant heads lugs. There are 3 simple latches that you just open to open and close it, easy to use. Also there's the option to leave the bassdrum open, or use both of the sides as double bass drum. Saves a ton of space in the car when you can ditch two tom cases! Honestly one of the most resonant kits I've heard, but the shells are thin and all the hardware are made out of wood (and tom mounts out of aluminum), so they can resonate freely. Also the whole shebang weights less than my previous Pearl Vision 22" bassdrum. The bassdrum is a cannon, I can't perceive anything significant effect from cutting up the bassdrum, and the shallow toms don't have any drawbacks IMO. PS. Deeper toms might have a longer sustain, according to the old Drum Tuning Bible, but you can screw up sustain in any drum with bad tuning, so I'd say the benefit is theoretical at best.
I’d buy one in a heartbeat. I own the base Pearl compact traveler kit. It’s great for providing in-home lessons, and I find the kick always a great substitute when I’m low on space
I have the same kit with the original "brass" wrapped wood shell. Installed Pearl 7/8 tom mounts on the 10,13 & 16 Used it many a time for big band rehearsal you can make them sound pretty decent with careful tuning Sound neat with hydraulic heads Didn't get the bag when I purchased it, I had a fibre case made for the kick
It's a nesting kit. Been around a while. I've played a few that had crazy deep tone for such shallow single headed shells. Fun to play to. Awesome find dude
Those actually fit with your track pretty well.... and had a bit of an electronic drums vibe to them. I've seen the No-Shell kits (flats) in person... closest to these I've seen were the Remo PTS, where the heads were pre-tuned... same sort of half depth open shells.
That’s cool…… I have that copy of Modern Drummer magazine! I only wish I had that drum set though 😢! Thank you for sharing this video and enjoy your drums!
I had the same snare for years and it worked beautifully...when I remember all that talking about the wood type...some junk wood fiber and lot of glue and there you go...and the material is know as "acousticon" hehe
What type of gig would you play this kit on? 🥞🤔
Alternative Polka.
Definitely a summer concert gig with a evening breeze and a beautiful sunset 👌
I'd do a middle eastern gig with this
I don't know but I feel like the tickets should be half off.
I have a similar old rusty Fame Practice Drumkit which a friend of mine gave me for free, so I play it on everything (It's my only kit).
this sounds way better than I expected. the snare is killer!
Agreed!!
I had one of these snares from new in the 90's. It came with a fibre skin batter head and sounded really nice!
That's because you're listening to thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment.
Not gonna lie David you have become my Saturday morning cartoons thanks for always putting out great shit man
Ditto!
Now you say it , the song played at the end sounds like the the intro to some early 90s kids tv show 😆
Yeah man it did like so early Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network
¡Hear hear!
They don't sound too bad. The Evans sticker was a hilarious touch. I like your sense of humor. I'm curious to hear what they sound like using Evans Hydraulic heads.
Those would probably work well on this kit. Theyre pretty punchy with the pinstripes, but hydraulics would add even more punch.
I thought the same and bought a set of clears. HORRIBLE RESULTS. Pins work much better. I love my Legero kit!
@@silvermineband2719I definitely am SURE they will have more body with the Pinstripes. A fuller sound than the Evans. I remember this kitten now I want one. The Tama pancake kit is way overpriced. I feel like this kit probably has a little more body then the Tama kit as well
That sounded surprisingly good. I thought it was going to sound like a cardboard kit 😂
Keep in mind his microphone kit cost like $1200, I’m sure it sounds like shit from the drummers perspective
@@TylerPresents Garbage in, garbage out.
@@BoojayDeeth Mr Sibley?
Nice. An Evans sticker for a Remo drum kit. Lol. 😂
I almost threw my phone in disgust
I like how the snare sounds dry and punchy without sounding really cranked tight. It also has really clean overtones which might just be from the tuning. And you were right about the kit sounding very eighties, I was reminded of the drum sound on "I'll Wait."

TIMBOOOOOO
I need a Tim & David collab in the future pls. Yall would be hilarious
@@Thomas-Drums Yo! That would be amazing! 😂❤️👊
If David meets Timbo up in Keno I’ll come up from Chicago and volunteer to film it!!!

Nothing better on a rainy day than pulling out the MD back issues. 😊
That sounds way better than I thought it would. Must be that Evans drum head on the kick
I played one of those Remo Legero kits, waaaaay back in 1992. I liked it but the price that the music store was asking was effing outrageous... $700!!
I paid 500 bucks !! I still have mine !
I recently refurbished a 1980s REMO Encore double bass kit that I scored for $300. REMO drums go for cheap money but they are for sure a hidden gem in the drumworld.
Saturday morning were never this good until I found David’s channel.
Thanks for the weekend posts always coming in clutch.

The sound and mix of the toms is pretty 80's, but it's way better than I expected. Kick sounds solid. Snare sounds super!
I don't really like the "top only" drums, but this kit sounds DOPE! Would definitelly use it for a retrowave/synthwave situation
David never fails to pull together an original and funky groove that perfectly suits whatever weird kit he’s playing. Brilliant stuff.
I love listening to how your playing has evolved since your first video!
I’m convinced every drum kit sounds amazing with David playing it
I own one, love it! Takes a little to get used too, but great for small gigs. I also put mesh heads on it and it's the best practice kit for an apartment. I own a 90s Slingerland that was also made with Remo Acousticon shells. They can sound absolutely amazing with the right tuning and head combo.

Love the Tama Bell brass just casually chilling in the background, can't wait for that video
I love looking at old music magazines and seeing the now retro ways of doing things. It's honestly still fun doing things that way too! Lol

I subscribed to MD back then, I was in high school then and don't specifically remember reading that article, but some of the ads brought back some memories!
Great Sounding Kit! Love that Snare!😀
I had that drum kit when it was brand new. The snare drum still sounds awesome after all these years.
That kit sounds amazing! I love it and would play it at gigs for sure.
The old REMO heads just got no-clipped into the backrooms with that move there Rdavidr...
(seriously though that was a sick transition, props to the great video man!)
I would honestly buy and use this kit around town. You got it sounding amazing, and that snare is so nice. Are you a piccolo snare guy now 🤣
What an awesome drumsound. Definitely sounds 80's.
I had one of these kits back in the day it was a phenomenal kit. I eventually swapped out the Legero bass drum for a regular bass drum and used the Legero toms. Quickest setup and breakdown times ever

I actually love this sound! So cool!

that is one killer snare drum! so cool to see this kit!
That sounds awesome! Way better than I though it would...... totally have to find one local to me now.
Hahahaha that is the first MD Magazine I ever bought. I still have it and it's hilarious looking at those old ads. Great video.
Yet another well-done rescue. I remember seeing adds for those kits too, but I've never played one.
I must say, that youve got the best full tom/drumset grooves out there. Best on UA-cam for sure! Akin to Peart and Collins!
Whoa, that kit sounds shockingly good. That snare drum!! 🔥
Amazing as well as practical❤
I can imagine someone using those shells as the basis of an electronic kit. That snare sounds amazing
it's impressive what this drum set sound like. again you did an excellent video ! :)

Some mesh heads, some piezo’s some jack sockets, you got yourself an E Kit! EDIT: scrap that, it actually sounds decent!

I have the same kit with the original "brass" wrapped wood shell.
Installed Pearl 7/8 tom mounts on the 10,13 & 16
Used it many a time for big band rehearsal
you can make them sound pretty decent with careful tuning
Sound neat with hydraulic heads
Didn't get the bag when I purchased it, I had a fibre case made for the kick
the addition of the Evans decal is hilarious...and I love it. ;-)
The EVANS logo swap made my heart drop! 🤣🤣🤣
That snare sounds amazing!
It's a nesting kit. Been around a while. I've played a few that had crazy deep tone for such shallow single headed shells. Fun to play to. Awesome find dude
LMFAOOO THE REMO TO EVANS LABEL
i played an old Remo quadura drumset and i loved it, the sound was like equalized without any mic or anything
6:09 mans literally minecrafted those heads on there 😂
Oh, man - wouldn't it have been a riot if he played some Minecraft music while he did that? Or the sound effects?
The kit sounds awesome.
Those actually fit with your track pretty well.... and had a bit of an electronic drums vibe to them. I've seen the No-Shell kits (flats) in person... closest to these I've seen were the Remo PTS, where the heads were pre-tuned... same sort of half depth open shells.
Sounds great, and reminds me that I have one of those acousticon snares in the attic!
I have this kit in white- Love it!
I added Remo coated white pinstripe heads…
That’s cool…… I have that copy of Modern Drummer magazine! I only wish I had that drum set though 😢! Thank you for sharing this video and enjoy your drums!
I had the same snare for years and it worked beautifully...when I remember all that talking about the wood type...some junk wood fiber and lot of glue and there you go...and the material is know as "acousticon" hehe
