@dconsmack Год назад

I just ordered the new DW carbon fiber 5000 double pedal and hi-hat stands from you guys yesterday. I love all these DW kits. The DW Jazz snare, Birch/Mahogany kit, with a special nod to the PurpleCore kick drum were my favorites. I hope some day you demo their Cherry Jazz Series kits. One in big sizes and one in bop sizes. Or maybe the 3 different shell variations in the Jazz Series. The Cherry Jazz drums are, ironically, some of the best drums for rock I’ve ever played. There aren’t really any decent videos of those drums out there. The world needs to hear how great those drums are and nobody would record them better than DCP.

@Sundaydrumday Год назад

Thats why birch Mahogany is my favorite combo, my god that sounds absolutely insane!!!

@ohigginssz8146 Год назад

Homie who played the Maple PurpleCore at higher tuning KILLED IT!!! Replayed that part just to experience it again.

Maple/purpleheart for the overall win! (Although the mahogany/spruce bass drum kicked all the others' asses.) Great video, guys.

@Ve8g 7 месяцев назад

@thegeorgeflores Год назад

That Teal Glass Birch / Mahogany.... WOWZERS!!! Love it!

@pablokagioglu2546 Год назад

Guys, I appreciate the amount of effort to put this together, so thanks, awesome job. Given that there are no changes to the signal chains or proximity of the mics, most of differences I heard were primarily in the pitch or note (not exactly matched kit to kit) Overall, I would go with the Purple Core blue drums and “low tuning” as it sounded more powerful.

@dancalabrese3523 Год назад

Never been a fan of DW (maybe because of the round lugs?) but the kits all sounded great, and I especially liked them in the higher tuning range! In the head-to-head I favored the Birch/Mahogany and the Purpleheart snare. Another killer video guys! You make being a drummer a lot more fun.

@randomchannel4886 Год назад

Haah i only like Dw cause of the round lugs😂

@dancalabrese3523 Год назад

@@randomchannel4886 I like their smaller round lugs better.

@jamescassidy4045 Год назад

Thank you guys for the Head to Head at the end. I love hearing more isolated hits, and even one shots back to back, or even just on kits/snares/cymbals etc on their own! Please keep including these whether in comparison videos or even if your just showing off 1 kit, snare, etc! It helps alot! Appreciate it!

@obliclinks5822 Год назад

I‘m always excited when you guys upload a video. Thank you for doing this!

@joc8 Год назад

Wow, massive sounds happening with those 18" floor toms! I loved them all, but probably partial to the maple purple core, if I had to pick one over the other. DW make great gear, but I'm not keen on the turret lugs on their drums, but that's just personal preference. Thanks guys, great video, and fantastic, solid playing!

@beckman3075 Год назад

Great Sound, great drums❤

@rkaylor5769 Год назад

My S-Classix is 24/13/16, Scandinavian birch. Hard to part with it. Big drums are dope.

@jancker06 Год назад

Awesome video! You guys kill it! Thanks for your hard work on these. DW for the win.

@michaelruiz3167 Год назад

DW floor toms are always impressive and as usual you guys did a fine job delivering a video that speaks quality drum sounds. That said for my style of playing which is rock power pop I'm not lying when I say the blue glass birch mahogany stole the show. Great shop excellent inventory

@jamescassidy4045 Год назад

I agree man! The Birch/Mahogs sounded killer. They had great Attack/Projection, but had really nice lows/low end punch! This kit would kill in the Studio I bet.

@weschilton Год назад

Gotta say... I was blown away by how good the 18" floor toms sounded! WOW!

@goodtimejohnny8972 Год назад

Maple purple core for me. I love this type of video. Set the phone down and just listen. Mic shootouts, head shoot outs, on and on it goes. It all matters in the hunt of gear you like to hear. DCP is the best at helping you get there. Now I believe it's time to melt some plastic!

@CornerStoreDrums Год назад

OHHH YEAH!! Lets go!! DCP never EVER disappoints! Much respect!! 💯 🥁

Freakin Barrett's on fire!

@Ben802 Год назад

Mahogany Spruce might be my favorite (that finish is pretty easy on the eyes too) ❤

@freethinksman4393 Год назад

The Maple/Purple toms would be my unequivocal choice. The other two sounded pretty similar, but the low end (make sure to listen over good speakers/ headphones) on the Maple kit is just awesome.

@janusnicolajsen7103 Год назад

Alright, this was a great test, DW drums are just the best! ;) Huge sound from all kits and some slow and fast playing, The bass sound or mic positions were a little off, it was `clunk´ rather than a ´boom´ sound! Otherwise great test all round, thank you ;)

@tinterlande Год назад

A lot of that is due to the heads that come on these bass drums. They have a very mid range forward attack sound.

@stevebond7387 11 месяцев назад

3:58 this guy is so good. Love it when the drummers actually HIT the drums with a bit of rock n roll force! So many times it seems the drummers just tap the drums. The whole time I’m screaming “Hit them!!! Whack those drums!!!” This drummer I time stamped knows how to rock!!!!!

@dandillon3517 Год назад

Spruce Mahogany is unbelievable at both tunings. Along with the snare that matched that kit. The middle set was my least favorite. Great demo guys!!!

@RJWPG Год назад

My first kit was a Slingerland with 24,13,14,16 18 configuration so I find it somewhat amusing to see these as being referred to as large or humongous 😁

@user-yq5od9uj3f 8 дней назад

Over the last few years I have become more and more impressed with mahogany. I love both mahogany sets and I agree with one other comment about how awesome the mah/spruce bass sounded. The Pearl Session kits are mahogany/birch and that bass drum has a great crack/attack. It also has a 60 bearing edge which I like for attack. Rock kits with bass drums that have less than a 45 bearing edge just don't make it for me. Unfortunately the Pearl shells have vertical seams which don't appeal to me visually. Thanks for the comparison.

@EricT43 Год назад

They all sound great. Low tuning for the studio, high tuning for live.

@marcgingergagne6701 Год назад

My Hands Down Favorite are the Mahogany/Spruce in the Higher tuning range! Even though they are of a lower pitch they still have great articulation! The 14” Tom and 24x14 kick gives the closest Bonham Sound! Which I Love ! Only thing I would change is…. I would go with the Green Sparkle/Metallic Wrap. Great Job once again guys! Thanks! 🎶🥁

@Chickboom34 Год назад

Whoa! The spruce is loose! Man-ster sounding drums!

@Lumerdrums Год назад

I really like the 18" floor tom. massive sound. But this is the first time in any of your videos, that I really dislike the bassdrums. Something sounds kinda "flappy" like the head is too lose or the beater re-hitting the head multiple times. I can't figure out what exactly it is, but it drives me crazy :D

@omarcortes5754 Год назад

Big bass drums with small toms are my go to.

@Coylee91 Год назад

How has a big name not scooped Barrett up? Absolutely insane playing. The drums are good too.

@cfusilier2 Год назад

I have no idea what spruce is supposed to sound like, but that kit with the mahogany had a really cool timpanic effect.

@edwardkaminsky8142 Год назад

I believe the Stratavaerius violins were made of Spruce. Maybe the drum producers seen something special in this wood.

@richboshart1201 Год назад

Birch/mahogany kit was the clear favorite for my tastes. I favored each drum against its counterparts and I even preferred the finish.

@edoardolaspada 8 месяцев назад

The kick drum tuning was always too low, even on higher tunings. Great demo!

@philphilison1623 Год назад

Glass glitters rule! 🥳 They catch the lights on stage better than anything else.

@aaronraulston6248 Год назад

At the higher tuning, which would be closer to where id tune em, gimme the birch/mahogany toms, maple/purpleheart kick, and the purpleheart snare. Wished yall wouldve done a head to head at the lower tunings as well. I also know its so hard to keep from having a dribbly attack with those big kicks, especially if youre a player that buries the beater.

@westbrad6808 11 месяцев назад

Imagine how Bonham would have responded to anyone of these kits! Each sounds absolutely incredible

@janmalec7349 Год назад

first kit is phenomenal

@thesoleman123 Год назад

Great stuff as always. I would love to hear some of these bass drums tuned a little more open. Not bop "open", but a more Bonham sounding bass drum would give a little more room to hear the different qualities. I can definitely tell differences in the toms but the bass drums across all 3 kits sound nearly the same.

@hogfanbk Год назад

Maple/purple core for the win!!! Now, if I could choose which bank to rob to afford them, I'll be set.

@danno4681 Год назад

@christopherberg4837 Год назад

Amazing sounding kits. Would you guys happen to have Tune Bot settings for how you tuned the birch/mahogany kit?

@drummachine86 Год назад

The thump on that 18" mah/spr FT on the lower tuning is unbelievable. Combined with Purplecore kick, that would be it.

@ristretto24 Год назад

Did you use a plastic beater and no dampening in the bass drums? Sounds like like the attack is a flam. Great video. Love the drums and this channel is gold.

@davidsuprenant2782 Год назад

I always tip my hat to your videos fellas. Tony does a fantastic job tunning.,that being said,for some reason the bass drums sounded a little strange to me.ive always loved the sound of factory single ply heads on the kick with the dw pillow inside.Did these 3 kits have the 2ply head on the kick side???If so not a fan of that particular sound. Beautiful drums.!!!

@lastcall9998 11 месяцев назад

Ok, it's time guys, partner up with Toontrack and make a sample library out of the first sparkly kit. Or do it yourselves (because Toontrack won't follow your miking techniques, and right now it sounds LIKE A MONSTER, specially the low tuning). Just be sure to add lots of articulations and no robot effect. Specially on SNARE and TOMS, ty.

@vincenzoa2929 Год назад

I gotta be honest. All of these kits look and sound great but I just don’t hear that unique sound that sets DW apart from the other drum companies. What I mean is that when I hear a Ludwig or Gretsch or Sonor or A&F….I can hear the distinctive sound of those companies. I don’t really hear that in DW. I’m not bashing DW at all because they make beautiful drums but I just don’t hear a DW sound. Am I the only one? Again, I’m not against DW at all. Just a thought. As far the kits, my favorite was the Birch/Mahogany. Beautiful looking kit.

@markmullen1852 11 месяцев назад

I get it. I'm not impressed. They always sound dead to me. Their craftsmanship and build quality is amazing. I just prefer other companies. The newer Pearl Masters and Sonor are tied for the best sounding kits on planet Earth. Love my Gretsch drums though.
