I’m literally watching this on my phone in my bathroom because my wife is watching It’s A Wonderful Life in the living room 😂
😂😂😂
Haha.
Dont have a bedroom to chill in or?
Same here lol
Love the white iconic black album tour drum kit. It's massive sounding and by far his best sounding kit. The rack toms on the right look like floor toms and have a nice massive sound and look fantastic. Thanks for the content 🤟🏽♥️
This is the type of video I've been hoping to see from somebody for about 30 years. Fantastic work, thank you.
Thanks Lars. You inspired me to get dyno beats. Talk about loud hats. Love them!
Awesome setup!!!! Great Video! Also as a fellow northeaster I know all about the scary basements lol!
You made an incredible job with your kits.
I hope to be able to do a similar job with my Nicko McBrain Somewhere in Time kit replica. Including having a place like that to store / play.
Congrats!
awesome collection. Those Regal Tip sticks were made literally down the street from my house in Niagara falls NY.
Thanks Chris very much, for showing us your amazing kits! They are the dream of all old-school drummers who grew up with Metallica and Lars' iconic drumming.
This is just unbelievable.... relics! Amazing!
I 💛 The M72 kit. It's my favourite.
Wow! Beyond super badass!! 🤘
Killer sets man! Nice job!
A lot of time, money and work you put into this. Great job man! Maybe Lars will catch wind of this video and will stop by your little museum you got there. one can dream right? haha
Sweating all the details!
This is nothing shy of incredible my man! Merry christmas, in Lars we trust!
Doesn’t Lars use the damaged justice kit during the REHEARSAL footage where they play last caress in “Year in the life of Metallica”? I believe that was the last time they used it.
This is awesome, Chris. Thanks for putting this together for us.
This is all so outrageous it's hard to comprehend. The black hardware story is just crazy. Also my friend/bandmate had the grey Granstars starting in 87. I played those off and on for about 15 years. YES - those tom holders blew. Especially after being used to my Yamaha stuff.
Great great video. Thanks. Beyond being a great engineer and historian you are a hell of a communicator and presenter. Keep going!
@Twotontessie Thanks, man. Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching the entire video
Those floor toms blows me away!!!
This was amazing! Thank You and Merry Christmas!
Fucking great Chris! Wish I would have the time to do the same! Really! This is amazing!
A hilarious part of my drum story. I had in the late 90's a Ludwig Superclassic maple "obviously" kit, with all Artstar II hardware. Lugs, spurs and mounts, tom mounts, arms, legs and mounts, all Tama, the only thing that wasn't was the snare drum, which actually matched pretty damn close, with the long lugs, with the stripes on them. Why? No idea lol. I do know the guy who owned them originally had them built that way somehow. I traded him my Ray era Ayotte kit for them. They were modern head sizes with power tom depths, it was an 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 kit with 1" shorter depths, except the square floor tom "yup 14 was a rack" very odd set, but man, that 22x20 kick with a SKII Aquarian on it sounded so amazing! Matter of a fact, Roy Burns actually headed and tuned my kit, at a workshop he held at our drum shop. My coworkers were pissed at me, because they wanted to use my Ayotte kit, but I traded just before the event lol.
I had an old set of rockstar dx drums back in the day and they were very similar hardware size and I have a feeling Tama is going to revamp the rockstar name in the future. They were killer drums for entry level kits. Especially back then when few entry level kits were even playable. Way better than the exports of the day.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
God, you got me all member berrying over here lol. Back in the day, I had a set of Grandstar II's, a 5pc. I had a set of 80's era Imperialstars, that kit was BANANAS big! It was a 6,8,10 concert tom, with 12,13,14,15 racks, and 16,18 floors and a 24x14 single kick, yup aaaaaaaall that with 1 kick... maybe it was what they thought Neil would be playing once he got tired of lugging 2 kicks around lol
Yes , finally 😅😂❤
Lovin' the Nike's by the Justice kit lol
Man I don’t often comment Epic 🤘
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great in depth video Chris!!!!! I hope to have that damage Justice and Wherever I May Roam tour era drum kits one day!
Merry Christmas, what a wonderful gift man! Thanks for all the great details!!
I bought my first kit from IMS catalog. 5 piece pearl export in red . Still have them . Back then IMS was half price of local music shops.
Great video Chris
@@Gavin-malone Thank you. Merry Christmas
I agree, I hate the fact that you can only get shallow rack toms. I cannot find the larger toms in my area.
Absolutely amazing! Thanks Chris.
As for microphones, you can get some cheap kits from Samson to start with. They actually sound pretty damn good. For recording duty, I use thr Zoom R16. These things are amazing. I bought two of them so I could have 16 inputs. I have 12 mics on my kit. Another route you can go is the Zoom L20. Two R16s are cheaper and I think it is a better setup.
Being Santa this year, just got an Upgrade!
Merry Christmas Chris and Happy Holidays hope you have a wonderful Christmas and keep on rocking and kicking ass and I can't wait for the next Metallica drum cover on the Lars Ulrich TAMA Artstar II kit or the TAMA Lars Ulrich Granstar Metallic Gray Kit or the TAMA Lars Ulrich Superstar Chrome kit hope you enjoy your Christmas & Happy New Year
Up next is the rock in rio Flame kit 😆
Very cool video!
11:19
I don't like those beaters either. I run an older single chain "Iron Cobra Junior" pedal, but I use the new _Speed_ Cobra beater with the soft rubber face. I love the sound it gives - it's about halfway between felt and hard plastic, and it doesn't disintegrate lol. Just my $0.02.
good stuff.
keep living laughin larsin'
I think it is neat that you replicated Lars 80s drum kits. None of those kits are all that easy to play as to why in the 90s, Lars went to a smaller drum set as it was easier to play and he never fully used all the toms on his 80s kits anyway . As for Lars having the same size floor toms he only played one and the second one was more of a table for his towels and stuff. Back in the day large drum sets were the cymbal of a Metal drummer. Since then most Metal drummers went to a smaller drum set. These days lots of Metal band drummers just use a 4 piece drum set with an array of cymbals. The reason Lars and others keep their cymbals loose is they ring out more. Tight wing nuts keep the felts tight on the cymbals and will dampen and slightly choke them, and will not allow the cymbal to ring out as much. Personally I like Lars smaller drum kits with the purple sparkle being my favorite. Going to microphones will help the sound but not only is it expensive you are going to have to get the same type and style microphones that Lars used or the sound from them will be different. You will also need a sound board to run the microphones through so they can be EQed correctly. You kept saying you are a stickler for details and do have some cool details but you also explained why you did things differently that is not to detail. All in all a cool video.
Fantastic work, hats off to you sir. Major work involved and what an accomplishment. I would love to build a Vinnie Paul kit. Any ideas. I have been looking and can't find anything.
Ahh vinnie paul. 24x24 kicks ,14x14 & 15x15 rack Tom's. Floor Tom was 18x18. 14x8 snare. What a monster
It's wild to think that the 12" high Tom is the littlest drum on the kits . My 8p Double base kit the 12 is the biggest high Tom on the set . It's wild how much Smaller new drum sets are
This is an extraordinary museum. I would like to visit it when I come to America one day, if you allow.
So, what I do, is when recording I use a vdrum kit, BUT what you COULD do, is use some brand's dual zone triggers, run them into an interface with enough inputs "I'm guessing 12 to 16 for you" and run in to Superior Drummer 3, which btw has pro recorded in I think it's 11.2 of the actual drums, recorded in the actual studios, with FLAWLESS quality. If you're a few years older than me "I'm 48" then you probably have never considered using this method... dude, don't do that to yourself. At the very least, do some research. I never would've imagined just how amazing using the current industry standard for drum recording would sound so amazing! And I am at home, in my basement, on a 14yo pc, with around 400gb of samples, able to record drums that sound EVERY BIT as good as Bob Rock... in fact, I can just go ahead and load up the black kit, down to every single detail, recorded and mixed BY HIM! If I want.
Letss gooo
Awesome
“I’m not paying nine grand for six shells ! “ ❤😂😅
@@Twotontessie 🤣🤣 so true
Do you play them? Fantastic video and attention to detail. I have to respectful disagree on the Tama cymbal mate though. 👍
@@christopherhambleton9701 almost daily
It is a bit silly to have two of the same size tom. In fact, Lars never really used the second floor tom. It became known as the "coffee table" and he's removed it in recent years.
With a room that small - a couple of overheads on each kit would pick up everything. You don't HAVE to mic up every drum. You could even put the mic holders on the ceiling 'floorboards' .
Yes the overheads would pick up a lot. But you will not have the same control or ability to bring out the best in each drum, for your mix.
thats cool,i was gunna send some files of the pictures form the tama 40th video they put out, and i even thought about printing you something, but i figured there would likely be someone much better who would step up, have everything proper sized, maybe even be able to help you find the best and possibly local, place to print up some actual quality photos or posters. so im glad that those ppl people helped out
@@NintenDub appreciate the thought. Thank you. Merry Christmas My friend
Lars inspired me to be a TAMA guy, but I moved on to Sonor and Ludwig. Meh, you get older and your preferences change. Still, awesome kits. Loved the talk with Bart.
Hey Chris, with the ead 10 I’d just not even use the kick triggers. The triggers barely have and customizability
Next, show us them Z28's!!!
@@ottocardonarosado used to have 2500 pieces. Models and diecast of the 3rd generation.. sold them all 2 years ago. Those are my last 2
I wanna get on those Artstars. EDIT- oh wow, ok ...not Artstars exactly. Interesting. I get it.
To comment at the trigger/recording part of your video..... Only triggers that work great are the newer Rolland ones. And then you really need a newer brain, and one where you can download the sounds into the unit. Then you'll get whatever it is you want.
If you have no experience with recording,, you might not want to get into it unless you have a lot of money and a lot of time to learn. I have 25 years of experience recording myself, and the time and money I put into it over the years is a lot. And you never stop learning. It usually just doesn't happen for ya overnight.
I'm using between 14-16 tracks for my drums. I actually stopped putting the second kick up because I like to mic the kicks inside and out, so that's 4 mics and tracks I don't have.. So I just do one kick drum with 2 mics.
I've used everything from Mackie mixers, tascam portastudios, outboard gear... to a laptop with Cubase 13 pro currently, but I don't have any interfaces to record into my computer yet. I don't play enough to spend the money right now.
But a little on me....
last show I played w/former band. Took out my PDP kit I bought off my former studio roomate, Paul Bostaph. This was one of his Testament kits before going over to Yamaha.

Music video I did for a song I wrote... My 1983 Tama Artstar Cordia/Birch kit on Bostaphs DW drum rack. LOVE this kit.

Took the Tama's out one last time 8 months ago instead of the PDPs.

Let's go
You need a monster rack set. Tommy Aldridge is an example, but I don't look the curved rack sections. The set on the flat bed semi in the Dokken vid IT'S NOT LOVE has a cool square rack. The drum set needs to be the standard 9 piece.
For the EAD problem, I think you have two options. First, use 1 module and a double kick pedal for 1 bass drum (this is what I had to do). Second, I haven't tried this but, can you mount the mic in-between the kicks and it pick up both sounds?
@@CaptainMerican i have thought about those two options. I don't like the idea. I have to seriously consider microphones
At one point he used a Roger's drop clutch too
It wouldn't be correct but I'd suggest getting a double-kick pedal and just using one EAD.
Blasphemy 😅😅
@@ChrisrZ28 I know, right. But it'd get you by. It's interesting, you and I are facing the same problem. I want to record drum videos too but the equipment needed is well outside my budget. I want to get a good electric kit but it's the same budget issues. It's been frustrating. I just want to drum and I can't until I get the electric kit. Lol
@badwolfsat5 agree. Quite the crossroads we are at.
That´s Disneyland!
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A DAMN 2 up, 2 down "or 1?" on 2 kicks? And lemme guess, that's without the snare too isn't it?
Yep. No snare. Fuck all that
I'm early
Sure I'll watch this it's only 18:21 🌝..... _what?_
This guy reminds me of the Simpsons comic book store owner
why? Happy new year.
But can you play?
None of these drum kits are original because lars Just did a video on it last week about Every drum set that is ever owned
What gives you that idea? The fact I mentioned "Replica" 600 times throughout the video?
@ChrisrZ28 Only because I can tell the difference
@@donttreadonme1715 Your sharp as a tac..
Great job, great shit, Chris! Enjoyed that a lot. Thank you for taking the time to talk about all that great information. Your experiences/passion opinions had me laughing my ass off. Appreciate it. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Safe New Years! 🤍💪🏻👊🏻 -Go piss!
Thanks for staying the course for over an hour😅. Merry Christmas and happy new years
Boring
Well , well, well, funny to see you here, Dave Mustaine!!
