I watched your unboxing video. It's very exciting to finally get the kit you worked so hard for, it takes a lot of money, patience and dedication especially those times where you have the money and then life happens and sets you back. So respect to you for sticking to it 👍
@@LeakyJAZZ It's a camera or cellphone mic, so yeah, no compression or noise gate, just auto level. I don't know how you can tell the tuning, I'll say they sound a bit flat, but that could be the camera mic again.
@@x8jason8x no, hes got mics on each of the drums and he’s got them running through a noise gate. I can hear the gate closing after a moment each time he hits the drums. I can tell theyre poorly tuned because i have ears. Dont you hear the sour dissonances in the snare?
@@LeakyJAZZ I've got mics on all my drums, doesn't mean they're always hot. Listening to it, it sounds central panned and hollow, exactly like it sounds recorded from a cellphone mic to me, but idk... I wasn't there. Could be just a terrible interface. Yes I hear all kinds of flat, but I don't hear enough of resonance to tell if they're poorly tuned or purposefully tuned. In all the years I've been a recording engineer, never been accused of not having ears though. 🤣 Maybe don't treat every disagreement like it's an insult to your pride, and you won't make such unqualified implications, friend. 😅
They sound awesome man.. I love the kicks.. the floor tom out in front.. the huge crash cymbals, and that china sounds amazing bro.. it definitely gives the kit a huge sound.. fn killer.. 🤘🤘
@@mr.anderson70 I have the Queens of the Stone Age dvd where he's doing that and that's the sound I'm shooting for. I wish Shure would send me those. The Beta 52s are my favorite mic!
sounds good! what kind of heads do use for batter/res on your toms? lately i've been experimenting with 2 ply heads (evans G2) on both top and bottom of my toms...still experimenting
Pretty cool no ride Tom’s and the floor Tom really gives a nice punch, dual bass gives a special repeat 16th pattern . The drum solo is a on point rock beat awesome.
I was expecting a crazy deep bass drum sound. They look gigantic lol. They actually sounded high pitched and like a small bass drum would imo. Overall it all sounds great! Nice chops too.
@@F.S.111 using the stock kick heads and not really digging those. Still finding the head combos that really bring the best out of these shells. In person they sound like cannons
Not one for conservation of motion then huh? 😂 Good thing you have plenty of room lmao... my 6pc kit takes about half the space you're utilizing haha. Not bad!
@trenttieken I've been using the black suede emperors past year and love them! On my acrylic DW kit I have black dot and love those! Only thing I could experiment with is the Rezo head.
@@trenttieken I have the 14x12, 16x15 DW jazz floor toms. Love the two of them, but I need a nice thick batter on them to shorten duration. Sadly my 12 rack sounds like crap with a thick batter so I'm kinda at a loss.
@@trenttieken Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to reply. I'm no threat to you as I'm a really terrible drummer! Based on what you're saying, I think I should practice more! Thanks again 🙂👍👍
@@UKbloke999 you're welcome 😊 I never had lessons or any formal training on drums so most of what I know I learned by ear and my dad was a drummer too so I just watched and listened to him play. It's awesome now to have sites like Drumeo and youtube though, I didn't have that stuff growing up.
And you understand that as you get older , your lower back is gonna hate you . But i love your kit , i was thinking the same thing with that big old marching bass . They sound so fat in the chest
@@acapulcoenlapiel that kit of Ginger's is actually a part of the inspiration for this kit, not just Tommy Lee's. I actually use my bigger bass drum though unlike Tommy and Ginger lol
DW? What's up with the monster kick drum on your left foot with the LUDWIG resonant head? WTF? Is that a 32? 34? I haven't seen a bass drum that big in diameter since I was in marching band. Sounds great, but you need your own van for just the drums.
@@einarabelc5 I used a Remo P77 Batter but I think it overly controls the Snare which tamed it too much. Gonna try something else when I get some extra cash to really open it up, in person it sounds massive
I've been a professional drummer for over 40 years. How drums are tuned is a personal taste thing, but that is probably the worst sounding drum kit that I have ever heard,,, and especially surprised to see that it is from DW...
@@trenttiekenWITH THAT LOOK OF AN AMAZING DRUM SET BY DW DRUMS I'D DO THE COMBO OF REMO BLACK DOT CONTROL SOUND CLEAR ON TO AND EMPEROR ( EBONY OR SUEDE ) ON BOTTOM LIGHT MID TO MID~HIGH TUNING THAT COMB WOULD BE AMAZING NO NEED FOR TAPE, MOON·GELS ANY KIND OF DAMPING ETC....... GOOD LUCK THEY LOOK REALLY GREAT AND SOUND WAY MORE AMAZING
@@trenttieken I DO REMO CLEAR PINSTRIPES ON THE TOP AND CLEAR EMPEROR ON THE BOTTOM AND THEY SOUND JUST RIGHT I LIKE OPEN SOUND NOT TO CHOKE OR DAMPING THE HEADS AT ALL THEY HAVE A WARM PHAT SOUND AND PUNCHY TOO BUT TO THE LOOKS OF YOUR NEW DW DRUM SET THOSE COMMENDATION I GAVE YOU SEEMS ONLY RIGHT FOR THAT SIZE OF DRUMS GOOD LUCK HOPE YOU LIKE IT AND IT WORKS OUT TOO ✌🏼
