Great cymbals, but soo expensive!

I undoubtfully believe he's a drum version of vsauce

Sabiam Spr o Meinl HCS?

Just bought a set of these, as I always wanted a complete matching of cymbals from one of the traditional artisan producers, previously beyond my financial reach. This review was so helpful, I've viewed it many times now, hearing a great set of beautiful quality cymbals, which look like terrific value for money. My wife gifted me these for my birthday, the package is here and I'm so very excited but have to wait until my birthday, in October! I might sneak a cheeky look , when she's distracted, but after she's opened the package to check the contents for me.

These and the stage customs are the best drums in this pricing category

Cymbals k ?

Do you think an Evans E Ring could tame the ring without completely choking the natural tone of the shell shell? I would love to hear this snare on a Dialtune kind of system. This might not make good business sense but I bet the folks at VK and Dialtune would have a blast teaming up on a project like that.

I actually acquired the latest version with the in-house bronze hoops an amazing snare indeed, sold the LM402 with the quickness.

Pads like that are ugly, just functional and very capable. But how did Korg manage to come out with something uglier???

Nice review. Can you send backing track "A" out to front of house, while listening to a different (click) track "B" through headphones?

Just bought a shell pack of these brand new in the Tanzanite Burst colorway from a Guitar Center for 600 bucks cuz it was missing a 12 inch tom and the snare😂 Big W.

By themselves the rides wash out just a bit too much. I put a sticky hand right under the bell of my 21 eclipse and it brought everything out more. Even got more bell you really just gotta hit it the right way.

Thanks for a great review. I've been playing a Ludwig Breakbeats for about 10 years that needs updating from a lot of wear. This looks like a perfect replacement.

it looks like not a 25mm thick shell. that's too thick for 25mm shell

I very much appreciate the honest review that was given here. Especially regarding the 18-inch crash. I like the sound of that crash, but I can't help but agree that the harshness is kind of killing the what would have been a really nice cymbal.

Why are you cutting the sound before it plays out on some cymbals but not others? You're not giving a real example of the sound in order to get a shorter video? What's up?

Every Pearl masters and above kit I have never seen a hardware issue. That's almost non existent in their high end kits. Also they would replace it for sure. I like the reference kits but I think the session studio kits are the real value for $ kits. Freaking amazing kits.

Just came from watching your Paiste PS 7 series. They sounded much better to me than these . Think they are much cheaper too ?

This is a concert snare. Think orchestral. I wouldn't use the Gavin Harrison snare for orchestral (As I saw in the comments section).. Also I wouldn't try using a concert snare behind a drumset. Tried that once and the snare buzz was ridicules 😛. Understand what something is designed for before disparaging. 😉

Wonder what the difference is with the 20 in kick? Want to get one but not sure what size. I already have a 20 inch Aquarian super kick 2 unused which is why I'm leaning towards a 20 yeah I'm cheap 😂

Sounds like a drum to me

This or live custom?

What does Yamaha make that people don't care for?

Great, honest review. The detail is appreciated!

I like the stainless steel signature snare the best

Sobre las críticas,( La Ignorancia es atrevida).. Suena Hermosa ese Redoblante!!

Great sound

they sound great sitting at the kit prolly great for micing up but sounded a bit shallow standing in front acoustically, I do like the feel and sound sitting and playing them big fat sound at a reasonable price thinking about buying them, my pdp's (birch) dont even compare but they broadcast well just dont sound that good playing them sitting at the kit but records with a phone decent, am I messed up or what? was going to mic my Pacifics but not sure I'd like it, maple versus Birch I think I would go with maple any thoughts

Memory locks - YES. But Yamaha are a bunch of idiots like many of the other manufacturers. The questions are why would you not have memory locks. It takes zero debate on why you should have them. But Yamaha and other morons in the industry have made their dumb decision. Oh, well. I won't buy until you find your brains and build a normal drumset.

I don´t understand all the negative critics in this comment section. Bear in mind this is an Orchestral snare, so it features different snare wires and produce a very different sound from the drumkit snares.

Sound flat

Definitely a value demon for the sound, features, and versatility of this setup, especially compared to the heavy-hitters (Sonor, DW, etc.). Plus, as an engineer and drummer, the fact you can turn over the toms WHILE ON THE STAND might have sold me forever. 😮

I prefer meinl hcs

Love he color of the sound, all shells.. hands down. But I don't like the amount of sustain and overtones. Especially the rack toms

Switching back and forth between eq and not is really annoying.

buy a Noble&Cooley Alloy Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

doesn't sound good to me!

I would like to start with I love this channel, because I really do. I enjoy all of your review's. However I disagree with you on this one. This drum to me looks like crap, and sounds even worse. The only tuning I found acceptable was the high tuning, not for me. Keep the great video's coming though.

Sounds papery & crap without the EQ.

Sounds horrible. Loud ring with loose wires

I have bought this kit 8 years ago in 2016 including an additional 13" tom and it has never let me down. (my shells are: 22" 16" 13" 12" 10") I've used it for hundreds of rehearsals week in and week out and the tone and fullness I got out of the shells surprised many of my colleagues. It easily survived me playing 40-60 shows a year and although I now switched to playing a fully pro-level Yamaha Tour Custom 8000 kit, the Stage Customs still sit in my cases as my main gigging kit. The snare drum is the only component that I never really used, being the drum of the kit that sounded the least "pro" to my ears. I would also suggest getting rid of the stock Remo UT heads and changing them for anything nice. I have had coated Emperors on the toms for the longest period and always loved the warm and not too ringy tone with those. The bass drum seems to lack a slight bit of low end in comparison to other more pro Yamaha kits but I solved this minor issue by equipping it with a clear Powerstroke 3 head and a fitting fleece blanket inside. The hardware is the same as the one Yamaha uses for their professional kits and I love nothing more than their tom-holder system! I would highly recommend skipping Yamaha's entry-level kits if you have the chance to get your hands on one of these. (And that goes for beginner- and pro drummers!) The price-performance is simply too good with this one and I am yet to find a drumkit from another manufacturer that convinces me nearly as much.

Nice but for the money I’d rather Sonor’s Gavin Harrison’s signature snare you reviewed the other day..

I like the 16" it's quick in and out, no horrible overtones.

I own the Light PST 7 Cymbals 14" Hihats, 16" Crash, 18" Crash, 19" Crash, and 20" Ride... Excellent Cymbals

Dudes a complete asshole... doxed a guy on fb because he questioned his posture... Ash deserves to be cancelled.

I love Tool! I want so much to buy the Danny Carey signature Mixolydian model. Is this with the signature of Danny on the pan? I am very interesting

Good looking kit and great review! Where are the shells made (Taiwan)?

Garbage

$450 kit with $2k cymbals… can’t be better than that

Absolutely gorgeous sound and they don't look too shabby ;)
