    Gotta love a guy who calls his rocket toms "Hamster Tubes".

      Those symbols are actually closer than what you think they are not far away at all they are actually closer

      He reaches out like that to make it look like it's far it's just an illusion he doesn't even have to stretch out an arm to hit anyting it's actually a very nice setup

    • @nextlifeonearth
      @nextlifeonearth 3 роки тому +2

      He intentionally set them up as an optical illusion. They're actually quite close, but some people hate it if he makes it look like he makes it harder for himself. Part of the show and his geeky sense of humour.

    Why I went with Pearl: There's a lot of great drum makers out there. Seriously. Yamaha, Tama, Sonor, DW...they all make outstanding drums. But Pearl--Pearl is the only company that is NEVER SATISFIED. Always improving something. Always developing. Never resting on their laurels.
    Everyone who plays Pearl Drums: "there's no way these drums or hardware could be any better."
    Pearl: "hold our beer..."

    Mangini is a superb player. When I was young my dream drum set would be a huge contraption like Mangini’s, but now. A 5 piece birch 10” tm, 12” tm, 13” sn, 14” ftm, and 18” kick would fulfill all of my dreams and desires while continuing to disturb my neighbors :-)

    WOW those drums are gorgeous! I first heard of Mike when my old boss Coburn Pharr played me some demo's he did with Mike for a band called Kindred that they had at the end of their early 90's time in the band Annihilator. I first saw Mike PLAY with the band Tribe of Judah sometime around The Year Two Thousand and he blew my mind. Saw him a little later do a clinic at a drum show and he was just bananas good. So happy for him when he got the DT gig.

  • @HansAaraas

    It would be great if Mangini did a playthrough with one of the D/T songs to hear the kit at its full potential :) (similar to what he did in the Zildjian -The Enemy Inside video)

    I've watched dozens upon dozens of "kit walkthroughs" and this by far has been one of the most enjoyable and most eloquently described ones I've come across. Mike knows his kit inside and out and speaks very well of the Pearl brand. I currently have some odd and ends Pearl hardware and the Mimic Pro module. I might have to take a gander at a full kit someday soon!

  • @scottyweimuller6152
    @scottyweimuller6152 4 роки тому +1

    Yeah the masterworks series is like driving a lambo. Ive had my masterworks kit for about 3 years now and not only are they amazing on tour but in the studio its the most fluid sounding kit ive ever owned. Ive been with pearl drums for the last 7 years but playing pearl for over 15 years. Best kits on the market hands down

  • @JoaquinCorreaDrums

  • @robertlucas9867
    @robertlucas9867 4 роки тому +2

    Another reminder for Pearl, make a pedal like Mike has that allows us to place the bass in the middle. Not only does it allow us to position toms differently and lower depending on kick size but it’s easier to match the slave pedals to feel the same. Having a regular double pedal, the slave is always lagging compared to main pedal. I don’t know why more people haven’t done this yet.

  • @robertlucas9867
    @robertlucas9867 4 роки тому +2

    I met Mike briefly a decade or more ago and he was a nice man and fun to be around. I respect him. Pearl I’ve had my pros and cons with them but the Pearl Mimic Pro and Icon rack are the best. Also many companies offer few or no expansion options on their budget friendly kits but Pearl does. I can buy the base Pearl Export and get almost all the sizes I need (toms and basses) at a friendly price unlike other companies. If I ever need a acoustic kit instead of my electronic kit I will buy Pearl Export since I am tight with money and will like to have what I need and not be tied to a certain kit size. Now I would like to see a Pearl pedal like Mike Mangini has so I can place my bass in the middle and lower the toms more for comfort.

    Pearl hardware never fails you. On my big kit i have 8", 10", 12", 14" toms on top and they don't even wiggle. Same pearl rack for 16 years. I dare any other company to make something that durable because it's not good for profit, it does show a love for us drummers though

    He’s right about pearl’s floor toms. Other companies have racks, snares, kicks, that I like more...but there’s just something about pearl’s floor toms. They’re massive but defined and controlled. I don’t know how they do it.

    I love watching gear rundown videos, I’m not even a drummer but these fascinate me.
    I do feel like Mangini constantly in his run throughs or interviews is constantly in a state of defending his choices. Maybe it’s a just a personality thing or maybe he reads too much UA-cam comments, but either way just something I noticed with him

    I can't say I have a favorite drum brand because all of the brands are different and I've played a lot of great drums from many of them, but I can say with 100% certainty that if I were to go with a fully custom drum set, it would be a Pearl drum set. They prove time and time again that they can do just about anything and they really care about the needs of the individual player. Loving Mangini's setup!! Just wish we got a video of him playing this kit or had a DT song in the background.

    I've played a competitor company drums since 2004, but I use a pearl piccolo 13x3.5 in snare as a accent snare. That little drum has stood the test of time. I have thought many times about switching over to Pearl, financial issues have stopped me. ☹️. Top notch drum company.
