The PDP graphic says it's a 26" kick drum. It's a 24" kick drum. The video guy has issues.

The room mic is great for figuring out this will sound in a small pub with a crappy PA. It's easy to make any drum sound good with a full complement of mics and a powerful PA, but filling a room acoustically is where the real challenge is.

@jeffballou2940 3 года назад

If BIG sound is what you are looking for, that Ludwig kit had the biggest sound to my ears. PDP surprised me, not a kit I would look at, but it sounded as good as any.

@csrgatorfan Good morning. I love big drums, and big sounding drums!! At the moment I have a bebop set. Yamaha stage custom birch in natural finish high gloss. 10, 12 toms and a 14 floor tom. 20" kick drum. I bought them brand new and put remo coated ambassador on the tom tops, and stock heads on bottom. They resonate beautifully. I do want another set with bigger sizes some day. For now my Yamaha's get the job done.

@johnperosa9775 2 года назад

Greetings all from The Great Southern Land of Australia. This is by far the best big drum comparison video I've ever seen. I've watched this video many times and each kit is in the zone but for my ears, the PDP wins it hands down considering it's a fraction of the price of the others. I've owned and played well over 30 kits and consider myself a drum snob but this PDP has really changed my perception of what affordable drums can do and I'm now looking at buying one. You guys in The States are blessed with great drum stores and the Drum Center of Portsmouth is one of the best. Best wishes to you all.

@dave_sanderson 3 года назад

Man alive. Would kill to hear a Sonor kit like this - maybe a 13/16/18/24 Vintage Series? Or any SQ2 kit that turns up where someone's ordered a 26" bass drum - doesn't even matter what wood or how thick.

@davidsuprenant893 3 года назад

I dont have a certain brand or make in mind because I'm indecisive but I'd love to have a kit with 24 bass either 13 16 18 or 14 16 18 toms and a 10 or 12 tama metalworks snare. Big loud but controlled drums with a high poppy snare.

I also never cared for the brand, but they’ve been making some more worthy moves recently (like this wood hoop kit). I still can’t believe I got the kit for $500...haters will say I’m lying, but I amazingly scored at a store that had it on clearance. A literal steal. Also, I’m so happy that y’all featured the aluminum wood hoop snare!! I just got one last week and yet again I’m impressed with PDP for putting out such a drum with such features at that price range. I bought it to go with this kit. It goes perfect.
