Today were checking out another weird drum set! I was able to find this Remo Legero Drum Set on a Goodwill auction and was able to snag it for a decent deal. It didn't come with a snare drum but I happened to have a 14x3.5 Remo Mastertouch snare laying around that I've been meaning to fix which turns out that is the snare that would have came with the Legero Drum Kit. This kit was marketed as a light weight drum set for those that are tired of loading their full sided kits in and out of gigs every night. The drums stack into themselves and fit in a single case. By no means does this replace a normal drum set, but still is a cool sounding and weird looking drum set! The toms are 10x4, 13x4, 16x5, and the kick is 22x6. I think its safe to say that this kit is ahead of its time by being one of the first pancake drum sets!

What type of gig would you play this kit on? 🥞🤔

@spawnedbydan Год назад

Alternative Polka.

@yourpbtv Год назад

Definitely a summer concert gig with a evening breeze and a beautiful sunset 👌

@Denverdarbuka Год назад

I'd do a middle eastern gig with this

I have a similar old rusty Fame Practice Drumkit which a friend of mine gave me for free, so I play it on everything (It's my only kit).

this sounds way better than I expected. the snare is killer!

@mdrmrgrl9622 Год назад

Agreed!!

@spadds Год назад

I had one of these snares from new in the 90's. It came with a fibre skin batter head and sounded really nice!

@Dweller777 Год назад

That's because you're listening to thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment.

@patrickharkin Год назад

I like how the snare sounds dry and punchy without sounding really cranked tight. It also has really clean overtones which might just be from the tuning. And you were right about the kit sounding very eighties, I was reminded of the drum sound on "I'll Wait."

@mightyV444 Год назад

Roto toms! 😊 And I've always liked that song a lot, too! 😀👍

@timbofromkeno Год назад

BEFORE the Tama Club Jam/Cocktail Jam, the DW Low Pro, or even the Ludwig Questlove Breakbeats kit ... there was this. So goofy. But a lot of fun. Glad to see you shining light on (and enjoying) these drums, Dave!

@geoffcowan2384 Год назад

They sound good. The thing with any pancake kit is the shell material really doesn’t matter. There is so little of it and no bottom head that it just isn’t doing much. I’ve got a bunch of random shells lying around, I need to make a kit like this to leave at our practice space.

@GarethWoodman Год назад

I use these and a Pearl Rythm Traveler for weddings and tight spaces. When tuned correctly they sound really good.

@silvermineband2719 Год назад

I have one of these and it’s amazing. I’ve used it on many gigs with great results. Use a REMO Muffl ring on the bass drum. Pinstripes on the toms. I upgraded the tom mounts to INDe mounts and L-arms.

@EricDrewery1414 Год назад

I own one, love it! Takes a little to get used too, but great for small gigs. I also put mesh heads on it and it's the best practice kit for an apartment. I own a 90s Slingerland that was also made with Remo Acousticon shells. They can sound absolutely amazing with the right tuning and head combo.

@smoktagous77 Год назад

Now this brings back memories. Playing at my childhood church in the mid 90’s on this same exact kit. Now you’re making me want to find one!! It sounds amazing!!

@themysteriousoa4466 Год назад

I bought some Toms and a Snare at a Goodwill for quite cheap, fourty something dollars! Years earlier, my dad bought me some drums at a Goodwill: One Floor Tom, One Snare, One Mounted Tom, One Bass Drum, One Crash/Ride Cymbal, and One Hi-Hat, along with a Snare Stand, Cymbal Stand, and Kick Pedal. Now I have a full on drum kit!Unfortunately though, I only have one Cymbal and it’s boring to play drums with one cymbal.

@tomkelsey2303 Год назад

I recently refurbished a 1980s REMO Encore double bass kit that I scored for $300. REMO drums go for cheap money but they are for sure a hidden gem in the drumworld.

@Xtracheesed Год назад

Nice! The people I knew who’d actually played Acousticon kits said they were amazing. That tom sound you got was killer for any brand or era. There is something just right about Pins on 80s and 90s kits.

@smartgem9717 Год назад

The old REMO heads just got no-clipped into the backrooms with that move there Rdavidr... (seriously though that was a sick transition, props to the great video man!)

@RhymesWithCarbon Год назад

I got a pair of K/Z for christmas when I was 13 (1989). I'm 47 and I still have them and still use them. They sound KILLER!

@dfxmonkeyhead Год назад

I did something like this to an old Premier kit I bought from a friend for $100.00. The original kit was needing to be moved out every Tuesday for music night and it was just too damned heavy, so I created a jig for shell trimming on my table saw and went at it. Losing the lower head and half the shell for the toms lightened it up a LOT, and cutting the kick drum in half (but keeping both heads) made the set so light I could almost carry it with one hand. The Premier shells were also some sort of compressed cardboardy product, but before reinstalling the hardware, I painted the bare interior with a coat of "wood hardener" (no jokes, please) that permeated into the cardboard material and added some extra rigidity to the shells. I don't think the kit sounded any worse after the makeover, it saved my back and we used it for several years until my drummer buddy who was playing this kit deserted the band one night during practice. To save the band, I switched from playing guitar back to drums, but eventually brought my Yamaha Stage Custom kit out of storage and played that for the remaining years until Covid killed the band (not literally - we all lived). I sold the Franken-Premier kit for $150 on Craigslist!

@PiecesofVinyl Год назад

I remember that Rick Steel ad! I think I had that '91 modern drummer mag! You are right - all mounted floor toms and racks and racks and racks.

@keithwoodcrest Год назад

Man, between David and Wade over at The Drum Thing/Garbage Stream they are keeping the world of cool, unusual and vintage gear alive and I love it. Always thought Remo made some really interesting drums but haven't had a chance to play any myself yet

@jasonm3871 Год назад

I had a drum instructor/high school band director in the 90’s that had this kit. He had wooden prosthetics due to losing his legs in a car wreck, and could still transport and set these up himself (he kept his purple Premier’s from the 70’s at home). They sounded really nice and the concept was pretty well executed. Remo Acousticon drums are actually great sounding. Their later offerings were really nice kits, and they would custom make a wrap from any image you sent them. I really wish they’d taken off.

@josephnovotney7845 Год назад

Wow, sounds really good with new heads .im 59 and I remember that when I was growing up I was so poor id cut drums in half and make a bigger set . I played a long time with no cymbals. Once no footpedel. But you learn a lot of cool beats . It made me better when I had a real set of drums. But I still miss the mix match sets I made , you value things more when it's something that you put together and worked to get the money to get the pieces to just make it work. No one ever took the time to help me or show me. I had to learn on my own. But it makes you value things more , not just money value, never had money like that. I'd collect pop bottles and sell them to buy little things to make my mixed up drums work. Lol most kids today just expect to have the best of everything and I teach my sons that you have to work to get the things you want. Life wasn't easy , do good things and good things happen.

@SingleTrackMind207 Год назад

I can tell you’re a super modest guy; most of your videos’ demos are usually very modest. This video’s demo seemed a bit more fun, I’d love to see you do more elaborate solos/demos.

@chunkysucks Год назад

As an evans player, That Evans decal made my fucking week. We love you Dave 😂❤

@gregnance4069 Год назад

Looking for a way to reduce the number of peices to transport, I bought a cheap set on ebay, cut the shells in half and use triggers so the audience still hears a good tone. Wrapped them in contact paper. None of these would I have done without the inspiration and guidance from you videos. I put a front head head on the BD and it sounds great. I have Evans coated G2 heads on the toms. They sound OK. There's only so much you can do with single heads and shallow shells. It's impossible not to think of "In the Air Tonight" when playing them. It works for me. Thanks David for the history lesson. Keep it up.

@DrumsJulz Год назад

I have a friend here in Brazil who had a kit exactly like this one, but in white. I used to borrow his kit, like a lot! Hehehehehehe Yes, the snare was the spotlight, really responsive and accurate tuning. The drum set itself wasn't bad at all. It comes down to one's expectations...that is what it is, a shallow drum set...if you're not expecting a huge sound...it's gonna work just fine. It worked just fine for me, back in the 90s.

@iguana51 Год назад

I have a Tama Silverstar Cocktail Kit, you do still make some tonal sacrifices with nesting kits but honestly, I rarely host band prac at my place so the fact I can have my main kit set up at home and just take one shell bag, one hardware bag and one cymbal bag, and have it set up in someone else's house in about 5-6mins makes up for that. It's only practice anyway so I generally just rag the toms and don't worry about tuning too much. It was also great when I taught lessons in my spare room before COVID, let the student use the main kit and I'd sit at the cocktail to help break down concepts if they were ever stuck

@IT-kone Год назад

3:56 Swiss drummers in Basel on Fasnacht, one of the largest carnivals of the world. They march around the city playing drum and fifes for three days, and every clique is dressed all in same kind of costume like that one! Swiss rudimental drumming is pretty amazing, if you haven't heard it before, worth a check!

@jrfrondelli2023 Год назад

Amzing snare sound! I owned two Remo kits WAY back, so I can attest to their nice sound. The kit records exceptionally well. I'd say you have a WINNER!

@jorymil Год назад

I've wanted one of these: it's the Pearl Rhythm Traveler way before that kit existed. And yours came with Pinstripes pre-fitted! And you're right: 3" is the smallest diameter difference that allows drums with regular hoops to nest. Frame drums nest a little better, but it's a different sound.

@davidenorth Год назад

Back to the future, retro hipster 80’s sounding traveling kit. Killer snare. I just picked up my first Ludwig Piccolo off your dumpster snare revival.

@michaelkrysiak5282 Год назад

I have the same kit with the original "brass" wrapped wood shell. Installed Pearl 7/8 tom mounts on the 10,13 & 16 Used it many a time for big band rehearsal you can make them sound pretty decent with careful tuning Sound neat with hydraulic heads Didn't get the bag when I purchased it, I had a fibre case made for the kick

@ajdinhasanic8069 Год назад

I’m convinced every drum kit sounds amazing with David playing it

@ramilopez6921 Год назад

I still have mine with the original hardware. I recently brought it in from my garage after years of having it stored there. I cleaned it using your cleaning tips. I updated my cymbals and pedal. Replaced all the heads. I used your recommended heads for the snare. However, I used Aquarian Studio heads for the toms and bass drum because I wanted to tune them lower to get a deeper warmer sound. I'm pretty happy with it. It's the only drum set my wife lets me keep inside the house because of its compact size it sounds great, and I'm pretty happy with it.

@timm1139 Год назад

Yet another well-done rescue. I remember seeing adds for those kits too, but I've never played one.

This sounds great for what it is! I bought an old Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit for a home practice mesh head kit for €200. very similar sizes. I couldn’t believe how good it sounded with real heads on it! Temped to take the silentstrokes off after watching this 😂

@yecti Год назад

It's weird how lively all the drums sound EXCEPT the muffed kick. That snare is rad.

@grantwalkersound 3 месяца назад

I honestly kind of love how that kit sounds... Floor tom leaves a little to be desired, but the racks sound fantastic. Sort of like a less cartoonish Roto tom kind of sound.

@jwcph Год назад

Haha the toms just effin' SCREAM! The 80's - not even sure what it is about that sound, or which band or style I'm thinking about specifically, but I was a kid then & those drums immediately took me back somehow 😂

@rolandedrummer9723 Год назад

Bought that snare in 1990. Sounded great. Be prepared for that bearing edge to collapse though. I sent it back to remo to get fixed. I guess the just put in their roller again because a few months later it did it again. Lesson learned. No cardboard drums.

@stygal1487 3 месяца назад

I finally managed to get my hands on a mastertouch piccolo snare, the same finish and size as you used in the video i think, and it sounds absolutely amazing. Now all that is left is trying to get the rest of a mastertouch kit

@PappaTiempo Год назад

I own a white one and I'm soooo glad I picked it up. A few months after I bought it be picked up a gig at a place where that stage that is only 8 by 10. Came in very handy and sounds amazing when it's unmiced, kick travels well and produces a ton of low end. I still play the 12" rack and floor sometimes with my 28" bass drum. They really do sound good, and the shallow tom is nice with my 28.

I bought one of these kits and a gigantic 1984 Ludwig 7 piece, for $350 around 17 years ago. I wound up selling the Remo for $300. These days I wish I’d held onto it for the novelty of it, but I’m a guitar player so I’ll survive.

@KnapfordMaster98 Год назад

@manuelzumaya4857 Год назад

Sounds amazing! Remo drums was my first drumset brand ever first starting off!

@markkobza8129 Год назад

Around 1985-86, I had a Remo PTS drum set which was pre-tuned heads that were on there with quick locks it was okay. The worst part was buying the heads that were specific to that kit because it was a pretuned set and only held on by latches so the heads were already pre-tightened so it also made them a little more expensive.

@musiqsoundsproductions Год назад

As an 80’s I love what Remo did back in the day. Remo made probably the best sets of the world. Acousticon is affordable to make and sounds killer!!! It was because of that they had to stop. Their head production contracts with other brands were in jeopardy. Also indeed check the FRP snares! Had a few and they were always killer. A perfect blend between wood and metal and not as high pitched as carbon fiber.

@mentalitydesignvideo Год назад

Also, for nesting drums look up Nodar Rode frim NJ. He developed his own system back in the 90s.

@spadds Год назад

Ah the smell of acousticon in the morning! The 90's were great! I saved up all my cash as a teen and bought a brand new Remo Mastertouch kit. Acousticon shells, with the same piccolo snare you have here - they sounded good, but the hardware was not so good - I should have bought the used Yamaha RC set instead... hey ho. I only just sold my K Custom Ride, and then just bought a set of the K/Z hats - boy those things are loud!!! I never had a perm or long hair... now I have no hair! lol Thanks for posting!

@TreyBaker326 Год назад

@gmaster292 Год назад

I cried a little when you put the evans decal on

@weschilton Год назад

Oh I remember this thing... when I was at Berklee in the 80s they had one of these kits in Jack's drum shop. Everybody thought they sounded terrible. Scotty at Jacks made a joke that Remo made them buy it to continue getting heads or something.... haha! I think they kept dropping the price until some poor sucker bought them for like $100 because I saw them a couple of weeks later in one of the practice rooms at the school.

@GeoffBosco Год назад

My high school had a Remo Acousticon kit, and I remember really liking the sound of the kick and toms….the snare? Not-so-much. It’s also interesting that my favorite snare shell material-aluminum-does not make for good sounding kicks and toms, imo.

@BADD400 Год назад

Cool little kit. The snare you have rocks.

@Levibetz Год назад

Oh wow yeah this sounds fantastic. Perfect kit to mic the toms from the bottom!

@drummerrob Год назад

Cool kit! My first kit was a big, heavy and beautiful Remo Acousticon, kept it for about 15 years. The upside was that it sounds great, the downside was the weight of the hardware.

@mircomelischko4785 Год назад

I have still 2 Mastertouch Sets. I love them and i play them very often. Greats to one of the best heavy drummers Vinnie Paul, who played Remo sets a long time. The kickdrum is one of the loudest i ever heared. I can use them without additional dampening. Only use Evans Emad2
