Gammon Percussion Drum Set Review

  • This is a quick review of the Gammon Percussion Drum Set Kit I received a while ago. Sorry if I'm a bad drummer. My suggestion is get some dampeners on Amazon for the toms, put a pillow cushion inside the bass drum kick, and if you don't like the cymbals as much as I do, you're just gonna have to buy new cymbals.
    This is just a little update on what I've been doing lately. Sorry for the rest of you guys who want more videos of my other subjects, so honestly, I'll let you guys decide what I should post more of on my channel (in the comments below) and I'll see what I can do. I certainly know aerodynamic paper aircraft designs are gonna be ones I'll be posting (which I will be posting soon, I've just been working extremely hard to make it right)

    I think with taught drum heads, they'd probably sound a lot better. I think it's just that they're thinner heads than a higher end set. But, replacing them would probably make them sound decent

    the adjustment tilter under the hi-hat is meant to angle the bottom hat cymbal to give you a "chick" sound as you close them. when its laying flat the air will act as a cushion, tilting it to the side pushes the air out as its closing giving you more definitive sound

    I’ve been want to rant about these gammon “ drumset”
    -feel like a toy not an instrument
    -cymbals are crap
    -Snare
    But overall this was my first drum set and I was happy when I had it but then I upgraded.
    Lol you can’t fix that

  • @rayshaw__7033
    @rayshaw__7033 8 років тому +9

    I have the same kit, and I had the same exact problems. I put a pig pillow and my bass and tuned it relatively higher and it sounds actully REALLY good. I changed a few drum heads and replaced and added new cymbals. You should try messing with the tunings a bit more and probably look at a few tuning tutorials. But thats just what I did. This probably won't help much any way if you do see this.

  • @SteveMingsFlutemaker
    @SteveMingsFlutemaker 3 роки тому +1

    Some Evans coated drum heads and some Sabiens cymbals or Zildjians, and that drum set would actually sound great.Plus tuning. Drummeo is a great channel to learn from tuning drums

  • @donuttingtornado7628
    @donuttingtornado7628 4 роки тому +1

  • @banger-fn6du
    @banger-fn6du 6 років тому +2

    careful on some of the advice you accept, that being said......put a pillow or blanket in the bass drum.....tighten the whole set up / re position your self and the drums .move them around till they feel comfortable. move the toms closer together, your snare should sit somewhere under the tom. the hi hat , try loosening the nut that holds the top hat(don't put a pad in between..LOL). first you need to buy is a ride cymbal 20" or bigger. tap your finger while adjusting the tension rods to tune the drum heads, try to get as close to sounding the way you like( top and bottom heads). you can put small pieces of duct tape on the head to tune...better heads (etc. remo pin stripes ) will make the set sound alot better....get a new ride

  • @g-money792

    Weird overtones on the hi hat clutch are from the cymbals being flush and perfectly spaced apart, tilt the bottom one a bit so it's more of a clasp.

    Hey my friend, if you want better sound out of your high hats tighten that screw underneath the bottom hi hat. Hi hats should always be off center just a little bit so air doesn't get trapped in there. Keep on playing brother you will get better! I am 44 years old and have been playing the drums since I was 12. Also if you want to make your drum set sound a whole lot better get some Remo heads... Believe me you will thank me later!

    Your bass Pedal is way too close to the bass drum...that is why it sounds dull. The high hat... your are not doing the pedaling correctly and hence the odd sound... The Floor Tom... you need to tighten with the drum key ... it sounds too loose on the head... The ride cymbal is too tinny sounding... perhaps it is also where and how you are attacking the cymbal with the stick...you want a darker tone generally... Other than that ... it sounds like a good begin or novice set
