Just from the way you talked about the kit, and your music education, I knew you when you got to the playing it would be top notch!
Thank you for the kind words and watching my video! Cheers!
Totally agree on bass mounted toms. I have that at my drum school and it's so much easier and comfortable to play. I have a virgin bass at home and after 20 years, I still can't get the Tom's and cymbal stands aligned the way I want them. Industry seems to be going back.
Yeah it seems to be more of a trend now but a welcome one. Much easier to get the drums positioned in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Can’t go wrong with Yamaha. And the Tom mounts are superior to any other maker. Period!
I agree! Some of the best and smartest designed drums in the business. Thanks for watching!
Amazing sounding and looking drum kit.
I feel lucky to play these drums every week! Thanks for watching!
I've been looking into this kit for a while. Nice video. Also Born, raised and still live In Colorado! Woop!
Thanks for checking it out! Hope this was helpful!
I’ve just changed to a AHM kit and agree they are fantastic! Nice comprehensive video review and cool playing !
🤘😎🥁🔥👍
They’re fantastic! Thanks for watching!
My man. So agree-no holes in the BD resonant head, and for chrissake no cymbal stand or snare basket mounting for the high toms.
Love keeping things simple! Thanks for watching!
Hello, Mr. Haas. I am a high school jazz band student in Oklahoma. I’ve been watching your channel one suite performance a lot. You and your colleagues skills never cease to impress me and my friends. Could you please break down the parts of channel one suite and your solo?
I appreciate the kind words! Unfortunately it would be challenging at this time for me to break down that solo. It was heavily Buddy Rich inspired so I’d recommend watching as many solos as you can of him. I’d be happy to meet on zoom for lesson sometime if you’re interested! Let me know!
Hello Austin. I got turned on to the Absolute Hybrid line after playing a kit that Guitar Center had on display for that purpose. I immediately noticed the difference in punch and i also recognized what they were doing from a marketing perspective by having a high end kit.
Do you recommend this kit for heavy metal. It almost seems to me that the extra tonal quality might interfere with tight breakdowns or transitions in certain situations.
Thanks for the review though. Exactly what I was looking for.
I'm not too deep into the metal genre but from what I have heard these drums might not fit the sound a metal drummer would be looking for. They're very open, resonant and even when tuned low still have a bright characteristic to the sound. I'm sure different head combinations could change that but I think something like the Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Oak might be better suited for metal. At the end of the day you can make anything work for what you need but I think there are some better offerings for metal from companies like Mapex or Tama. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Gorgeous sounding kit! How much does it cost? and how does it compare to other similar budget drum kits?
Before tax all 7 drums come out to around $6599.99. Since I work at a music store I was able to get it all for less but it was definitely an investment. To me they're my favorite sounding drums period, however other manufactures like Mapex and Pearl are making crazy good drums in the same price point. What sets these apart for me is the ease of use. The tom mount is great and the drums are so well made tuning is a piece of cake. Everyone makes good stuff though at this price point! Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Super off-topic here, but what would you recommend as essential listening for someone who's more "jazz adjacent"? My entry point to jazz was Dave Weckl, back in the early 90's, and I never really made the transition in to, like, bebop or even straight-ahead in general. I've gotten in to a fair amount of big-band stuff, but really never "bonded" with the whole Blakey, Elvin and Max Roach thing.
How do I migrate from fusion to "real" jazz?
That's a great question! For me Philly Joe Jones was always a big hero. His phrasing, solo vocabulary, and swing were mesmerizing. A great album where this is all displayed is Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. Another drummer that got me excited was Jeff Hamilton. He has his own trio and big band but I really like his work with the Ray Brown Trio. 3 Dimensional is a great record to check out. Other than that if you can go see live jazz in your area thats an even better way to immerse yourself and catch the bug. Hope this helps!
