Great video Earl. I can remember the time that I was playing in a band. I had to walk to stairs up or down to take my big Tama kit with me. Watched the whole video 😎👍👊🍺
Earl, well done video! I appreciate the insights into the hardware, music and some history of the hardware. The take down and set up was amazing! My hardware is from the mid ‘80s...strong and heavy! 21lbs is the total weight of your sets hardware!?! I’m jealous!
Paul, thanks for watching! Yes, it was a decision to buy the lightweight hardware because I need to protect my back. I’m not getting younger! I have a lot of heavy stands if I need that weight for a gig or show. But for gigging around town this is all I need! And 21 pounds was the weight ... amazing! By the way ... the cost for 2 cymbal stands, one snare and hi hat stand cost me under $250 brand new! That is not bad!
Dude, I love your drum talks, i just like hearing about pros and cons and keep it up pall your videos are great, you do a great job. I wonder if you did a drum talk on sticks? I'm fascinated with different sticks..
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback. Here is a drumtalk on drum sticks ... I don’t know if this will work! ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UwFP1o9ORP4.html
Zax the tom, snare and hi hat has height markers for easy setup. The cymbal stands pack best by just compacting the stand. Thus means the memory locks are a little overkill. You could take a sharpie marker to it, but I constantly change things! Thanks for watching my friend!
Nice video, good to get some real world experiences of the tama gear. Does the tom stand choke the drums at all ? and does it get a bit tight for space to arrange tom/cymbal/hat stands in the same area ?
Michael those are great questions. I found the tom stand to not effect the resonance of the tom like a traditional heavy snare stand does. It kinda floats in the basket, so I was happy with the sound. By the way I found the same thing with my old vintage Ludwig flat base stand that used before I got this new stand. It is a bit of a trick arranging everything if you add the microphone stand for the snare drum, but it was doable. For the money and the loss of pounds carrying hardware made it a great value and I think the cymbals sound a little bit better. Thank you for watching and the great questions!
Michael, I think the tom stand base is slightly shorter than the cymbal stand base and the snare basket is different in that it holds 10”-14” toms and the rod is longer than the snare basket (holds 12”-15”) and rod which is shorter. The snare stand base is more traditional than flat. I hope this helps! 😀👍🏻
@@earldrum it would be like Bruce Springsteen calling himself the boss, or Neil Peart calling himself the professor. It's cool when other people call you by a name, but really pretentious when you talk about yourself in third person. Just my opinion.
Neal Babbitt ... like I said, a lead singer in a few band in the late 1980s gave me the name and I kept it. 30 years ago it became how I was known ... Sorry, So it’s not awkward or pretentious in my book. But thanks for watching my video.
