    What you're looking at is a faithful re-imagining of a rare Vox/Trixon kit from the mid- to late-'60s. The Telstar's iconic "flat tire" chambered bass drum was originally designed to support two pedals at once, allowing players to achieve distinct bass drum tones just by adjusting their playing position. But as time went on and the Telstar fell out of fashion, this kit has gone down as a real rarity among vintage enthusiasts. Fortunately, the good folks at Vox and Sakae have resurrected these curious kits for today's drummers to play and behold.

      Summer of '99 I saw Spock's Beard live and Nick hopped out from behind the kit and switched places with Neal Morse and Nick fronted the band in a rendition of Squonk. It was pretty rad. Neal is a a more than competent drummer too.

    • @jasonschooler4450
      @jasonschooler4450 3 роки тому +8

      The only odd sizes were the toms and snare depths. All of the radius sizes were typical 13, 16, and 14. As for the stupid bass drum, look no further than Remo for a special designed oblong head that sounds like shit at any tension/tuning.

  • @paulrevelli
    @paulrevelli 3 роки тому +1

    Admittedly, I enjoyed Nick's demo of the kit than the actual kit itself! I use to have a Trixon when I first started playing a kit. The floor tom was actually conical. 16" batter with a 14" reso if I remember correctly. I guess at some point I just got tired of people mockingly asking me "Who sat on your bass drum?". But I do have fond memories of practicing to Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass records on it.

  • @KNasGames

    Awesome intro! Almost reminds me of intros of some Saturday Morning cartoons.

  • @SmangItDrums
    @SmangItDrums Рік тому

    First off, that intro song is why I love Nick and Sweetwater so much. Second, it’s worth mentioning that alder has been used in drums since 2010 thanks to Ddrum and both of their Reflex (100% alder) and MAX (maple and alder) drum kits. With that said, this is a truly unique kit that sounds cool, especially the toms.

  • @demonicsweaters
    @demonicsweaters 3 роки тому +15

    I think the kit sounds really cool. It definitely sounds vintage. I also love the weird finish. The toms sound great, super big and warm. The kick though.... I just don't understand the point. If they made the same exact kit with a normal round kick drum, I'd totally be interested in it. But the gimmicky melting kick drum that is impossible to buy heads for is just a terrible idea.

    Definitely a kit for the drummer or producer who has a collection. Not meant to be the daily driver, or to cover a variety of genres. But, it does have a sound of its own, and it makes a cool conversation piece. And for shooting a music video, the Salvador Dali vibe could be kind of useful!

    • @davemccall9594
      @davemccall9594 3 роки тому

      I think you can see the entire mic setup in the wide shots. Looks like just two mics... the AEA N8 on the kick angled down, and the Audio Technica AT5045 behind the floor tom angled across the kit (picking up the snare and hi-hat). Its a motown-inspired mic setup for drums. They used to mic up kits with just a couple mics like that. Probably a room mic or two in there as well, but I don't see them.

    • @AaronLevyDrums

      Hey, JJ. Thanks so much for reaching out. Yes, this will work with a double pedal. However, due to the shape of the bass drum, you will be getting two different sounds, which is kind of cool.
      I hope this helps.

    $1800 for birch and alderwood in odd sizes that no one makes heads for. So what was that about me buying any number of very nice maple kits for that money? If you wanted all birch, get a Yamaha stage custom for $680 and use the remaining $1100 for hardware and cymbals.
