Thank you for pointing that out! I appreciate your attention to detail. It seems there was an error in the video regarding the drum kit being played by Mike Johnston. The kit shown was a blue sparkle vintage Gretsch USA Custom set, not a Brooklyn set. I often have to prepare material or create videos at night after my main work.. so I can lose my vigilance. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. I'll make sure to address this in future content and ensure that the correct information is provided.

Thank you for your feedback, and I completely understand your frustration with the ads. I strive to provide valuable content, and I appreciate that you're looking for an uninterrupted experience when researching drum kits. Ad placements are often necessary to support the creation of content. In each video, I corrected the places of advertising breaks so that it does not interfere with viewing. But if you don't want to see ads - become a sponsor otherwise I need to earn money for a living and for better content.. no one is working for free even you, right...? If you have any specific questions about drum kits or topics you'd like to see covered without interruptions, please let me know! Your input is invaluable, and I appreciate your understanding.

@musicessences I understand the need for income but it seems like I start enjoying a information video on drums and bam a ad for solar panels or insurance pops up and I usually always erase the video without finishing it.i know I am not the only one that does this. For what ever its worth I enjoyed the part I watched

Thank you for your honest feedback. I appreciate your perspective and understand that the video may not have been as thorough as the ones on Ludwig, Pearl, and Tama. I'm currently working on a new video about Gretsch drums that will provide more in-depth coverage and the same level of detail as my previous videos. Your input is valuable, and I'm committed to delivering content that meets your expectations. Stay tuned for the upcoming video, and thank you for your patience and support! If there's anything specific you'd like to see in the Gretsch video, feel free to let me know. 😊

Thank you for the amazing feedback! 🌟 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Your support truly motivates me to keep creating. If there's anything specific you'd like to see next, just let me know! 😊

Thank you for the wonderful comment! 🙌 I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video! Your support means a lot to me. If you have any suggestions or topics you'd like me to cover in the future, feel free to share! 😊

Thank you for your suggestion! 😊 Dixon Drums indeed has a fascinating history and offers some incredible products. A full video titled "Best DIXON Drum Sets Ultimate Buying Guide" sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely consider it for future content. If you have any specific features or models you'd like me to cover, feel free to share! ✌🏼

Thank you for your input! You're right; Nicko McBrain's transition to the British Drum Co. is notable, and mentioning Phil Rudd from AC/DC would have added another interesting perspective. Both drummers have made significant contributions to rock music and have unique styles. I'll keep this in mind for future discussions! If you have any other suggestions or topics you'd like to see covered, feel free to share! 😊

Thank you for your enthusiasm about the SQ1 drums! 🎉 They truly are exceptional instruments, known for their high-quality sound and construction. The combination of European birch shells and thoughtful design makes them stand out in both studio and live settings. If you're interested in learning more about their features or comparing them with other drum kits, let me know! Your support and insights are greatly appreciated! 😊

Thank you for your comment! The reason I didn't mention the Tama Silverstar Birch in my top 5 TAMA drums video is that I aimed to highlight models that are typically favored by more advanced drummers and that stand out for their unique features and sound characteristics. While the Silverstar Birch is indeed a solid kit with great sound quality due to its birch shells, I wanted to focus on models like the Starclassic and Superstar series, which have a longer history of professional use and are often recognized for their superior hardware and versatility. I appreciate your understanding, and I value your input! If you have any specific features or experiences with the Silverstar that you think should be highlighted, I'd love to hear them!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on those Tama drum lines! It's great to hear from someone with experience across different Tama models. The Pre-Tama Royal Star, reissued Superstar, and Starclassic Walnut/Birch are all excellent drum kits with their own unique characteristics. Each represents a different era and approach in Tama's drum making history. The Royal Star was one of Tama's early high-end offerings, known for its quality and sound. The reissued Superstar brings back some of that classic Tama sound with modern manufacturing techniques. And the Starclassic Walnut/Birch combines two great tonewoods for a versatile, professional-grade kit. Your experience with these different lines gives you a great perspective on how Tama's drums have evolved over the years. If you have any specific thoughts on how they compare or what you like about each, I'd be really interested to hear more! Thanks for adding your knowledge to the discussion.

Thank you for sharing your experience with your TAMA drum kits! It's fantastic to hear that you own a 5-piece Silver Star clear Acrylic limited edition set and a 7-piece Superstar Classic Maple set. Both kits are known for their beautiful aesthetics and exceptional sound quality. It’s great to know that you love playing both kits and that they handle a variety of styles, from Motown to Country, so well. Your band, THE CATS, sounds like a lot of fun! I appreciate your passion for drumming and your positive vibe. Keep enjoying your music, and I wish you many more blessed and happy moments with your kits! 🥁❤️

Thank you for your enthusiasm about the Starclassic Walnut/Birch! I appreciate your question about why I included the Starclassic Maple but not the Walnut/Birch in my top 5 Tama drum kits. Personal preference: As with any "top" list, there's an element of personal choice involved. I find the Maple's tonal qualities particularly appealing. That said, the Starclassic Walnut/Birch is an outstanding kit in its own right. It offers a unique blend of warmth from the walnut and punch from the birch. If I were to expand the list, it would certainly be a strong contender for inclusion. Both kits are professional-grade and capable of delivering exceptional sound. The choice between them often comes down to personal preference and the specific tonal qualities a drummer is seeking.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you loved the video! 🎉 Your support means a lot to me and motivates me to keep creating content. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to see in future videos, feel free to share. I appreciate you taking the time to watch! 😊

Thank you for the thumbs up! 👍 I appreciate your support! If you have any thoughts or questions about the video, feel free to share. I'm here to engage with you! 😊

That's amazing to hear that your Royalstar series has turned 41 years old this year! 🎉 The Royalstar line has a rich history and has been a favorite among many drummers since its introduction. The Royalstar is definitely a classic and has stood the test of time, showcasing Tama's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your experience with your Royalstar kit! It’s great to see how these drums continue to bring joy to drummers even after so many years. Happy drumming! 🥁❤️

Thank you for sharing your experience as a professional acoustic drummer! It's fantastic to hear that you own several Exotic Collector Series and Jazz Series kits. Meeting John Good must have been an incredible experience; he's truly a legend in the drumming community! Exotic Collector Series and Jazz Series kits are both exceptional and have their own unique qualities that many drummers cherish. Your passion for drumming and your connection to the community is inspiring! If you have any specific features or stories about your kits that you’d like to share, I’d love to hear them! Keep rocking with your band, and thank you for being part of the conversation! 😊

Thank you for sharing your perspective on Pearl drums. Your observation about their sound characteristics is interesting and valuable. I appreciate your insight into the sound profile of Pearl's medium to high-end drum sets. While many drummers enjoy the full, resonant sound that Pearl is known for, you've raised a valid point about how these characteristics can sometimes present challenges in a full band mix. It's true that drums with pronounced low-end can sound great in isolation or in controlled studio environments. However, in live settings or dense mixes, this can sometimes lead to clarity issues. That said, drum sound is subjective and can vary greatly depending on factors like tuning, head choice, and playing technique. Many professional drummers successfully use Pearl kits across various genres and settings. Your feedback highlights the importance of considering how drums perform in different musical environments. It's a crucial factor that drummers should consider when choosing their kit. Thank you for adding this valuable perspective to our discussion!

Hi Tony) I know why you are asking and I gotcha ya covered! <3 I actually have one video on my channel about TAMA drums... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hS1Y6qtQTqw.htmlsi=sWTvVo6qOREVaPkI It was the first video in the TOP 5 Drums series about 1 year ago... But I have a feeling it should be remastered and updated. What do you think? Would you like to see the same video about TAMA drums as this one?

@@musicessencesYes absolutely. I love ur break downs from entry level to professional. I think Tama is worthy of the same . Tama has a great history of their drum lines from the original Superstars to the Star line . Not to mention the many Pro players that play them .

Hi man!)) Well.. I worked a lot and a long time on the new video.. then I lost the operating system and all the projects for the last year were erased (and by that time I ALREADY had a finished video that I put a lot of effort into).. .but decided not to give up.. I was supposed to release a video today - I couldn't let my audience down.. <3 So I flashed the operating system and started with a clean slate.. all in all i'm happy.. Updated the design and remastered my first video from the series.. and the whole adventure I survived - because you were not indifferent and left a comment.) I would like to inform you - the video has already been released on the channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DQ9zAV58PiI.html

Thank you for sharing your experience with your 1985 Pearl Export kit! It's impressive that you've maintained it for so long and have made thoughtful upgrades with the Evans heads. Your point about experimenting with drumheads and tuning is spot on; these factors can significantly impact the overall sound and performance of a drum kit.
