Great video! However, that virgin kick has a subtly different resonance. It might just be that they’re two different drums, but it does sound better. There’s more fundamental tone and fullness to my ear. YMMV, and yes, it is probably subtle enough that most people will never tell the difference. And your points about setup are well stated. Thanks for the effort!
There's definitely a difference. Is it enough for most players to choose one over the other? Prolly not. But there is an obvious difference in resonance.
Bro I died when he caught on to his hand movements lol loved the video... Wasn't what I was looking for but it was entertaining. I'm having the problem where I've owned a virgin bass so I'm use to putting my rack toms on the cymbal stands. But now I have a studioease (smaller rack toms) same size bass... So now I'm rocking a 10x7 and a 12x8 and my two top cymbals at 18in crash and a 20in crash on the 12x8 tom... I usually keep my cymbals low but with this kit I feel like I have to keep the cymbals higher up otherwise they cover my toms some if set to low... Maybe it's time to switch up my cymbals?
It doesnt matter. If that was the case nobody would port their head. It makes zero difference. Whose really wanting a tom to ring out for 4 seconds. Thats when ppl start to complain that their drums sre too ringy
They both sound good, but the virgin kick is definitely lower in fundamental pitch. FWIW, I use a 20" virgin kick on a riser and it produces more than enough depth and oomf for any style.
