PEARL: 75th Anniversary President Series Sound Test - GEAR GEAR GEAR 

Thanks for the kind words Scott! Glad u dig it!

That's awesome! Thanks for letting us know.

@@KillerDrumsTV Did you add any muffling to the kick batter side? I do see the felt strip on the reso head.

Yes correct! A felt strip only, it came with the kit, so we used it. But normally nothing inside and no dampening, ala-natural.

Yes it really does and cheap $$$ for Australia www.mooloolabamusic.com.au/pearl-drums-75th-anniversary-limited-president-ser

Glad u dig them and what we are doing! I was genuinely surprised at how good these sound. So good! And I personally love the lugs ha-ha but it's all down to personal taste. All the best!

Glad you enjoyed it! We try to let the boxed drums speak as they were sent, and tune simply for live, not really recording. I'm trying to capture they natural "genuine" sound by avoiding special tuning, post production tricks and all that stuff. We're wanting to give drummers a real true representation of a drums sound.

Its tone was actually surprising.

Totally agree.

Too right

Hey mate, I'm a rock player, it has spikes, and stayed I place for me.

I have one of these. It does indeed have a memory lock notch. Very sturdy.

It's a minor thing, their sound over shadow all things.

Hey Eric, the dampeners were off and yes we tuned them wide open.

Taiwan

I believe Taiwan, as the good fellow above mentioned.

Sorry to hear that. I actually loved the tone we got when we captured it. Did you change heads to something else? When we filmed this kit, we also have another three kits side by side and it sounded anything but plastic. It actually sounded more warm than another very popular kit known for being warm. Also how did you tune your kit? I have phenolic, acrylic, maple and mahogany un drilled shells here on the same size that I've used for sound testing and the acrylic certainly sounds plastic. But the phenolic is a warm dark tone between maple and mahogany in the samples here. What kit did you move to? Tony
