A very inspirational video, indeed! Now I want to remove my resonant and batter drum heads and begin again. Didn’t know drums shells had ‘a dedicated’ note nor that the bass drum pillow needed to contact both drum skins. Can’t wait to hear the result. Thanks John and DW!
Mikes drumming style, that snare sound, fill choices, and dynamics and control have impressed me since 2001. Listen to ANThology weekly. I would love to see a play along video, especially to something like Courage or Sticks and Stones.🤙🏻🤙🏻
I bet he can play exactly how I imagine drums and beats to sound with his eyes closed - But I have to admit, most of this just sounded like a random noise
I can only say pdp was the best with the platinum,x7,m5,cx,fs and so on series of drums. With the platinum being the same quality of the performance series which came out right after the platinums were discontinued. All that to say the older pdp stuff just sounds better to me. Hard rock American maple over the European maple they use now. They don’t have the same dw sound and feel as the old stuff.
1:18 "...aircraft quality cement." 1:26 "It's a process to make it stay there forever." So, when the silver finish, for example, yellows it can't be taken off and replaced?
I absolutely love everything about DW drums since the day I bought my first Canary yellow maple 7 piece kit with built in May drum triggers from Danny Seraphine. 😊
Mr. Garcia is a sweet, humble man who is so inviting. My daughter likes to play drums and is painting her drums so we took the factory tour and she able to meet this lovely man. A genuine nice person.
John good is brilliant and a great guy!! An he treats all drummers the same regardless of level,an he constantly innovates no one does that!! Love ya John!! Would love to do another factory tour!! All the best Ed dilley jr.
This crazy! I’ve tried ordering a new DW set with double 24x18 bass drums. Musicians Friend can’t help! I call Sweetwater and they can’t help! I call DW during business hours and just get a recording repeatedly! I’ve never experienced anything like this before. Does DW only sell store kits? I thought they custom order? Looks like I’ll be forced to buy Pearl. Crazy.
4:30 The presenter states: "80/20 bronze has some of the fastest transmission speed of sound..." I'd like to see the research data on this. The text books in engineering materials science class lists 80/20 as one of the slowest. "The 80/20 alloy is designed to increase vibration damping" (1^ Mass Inst of Technology). Surely you're leaving something out of the description. That or either MIT or you are mistaken.
Hi mike I use to take Lessons with you at Drummers collective. You are still my Favorite player, I loved that Thrust Album and Brand X. Thank you for all you taught me. Have a blessed day and don't forget to Enjoy Life.
I've never played a dw kit. I continually convince myself it's a rich person's kit.. notnavailable tk us pleebs... yet every time I hear one... its so on 100% .. come one man , let me lie to myself and say I don't want one
So I played Pearl drums for years. I just bought myself a brand new PDP concept series maple 7 piece shell pack in the pearl white lacquered finish, I also bought a brand new DW9000 2 legged hi hat stand to match my DW9000 double bass pedal. Awesome products and durability 🤘🏻
Thanks for your question. Actually, these are DW - a limited Buddy Rich signature line that they produced for a very short time. The kit included DW's Classic shells with old school clam shell lugs and BD mounted hardware similar to the Slingerland Radio Kings. They only made about 50 if these kits, and I was lucky to get one.
