Four drummers. Four tiny kits. Watch as they race against the clock to see how practical these compact kits really are!
Here's the challenge:
1. Run to the studio with kit in hand.
2. Set up as fast as you can.
3. Mic up the kit.
4. Play 8 bars.
5. Tear down the kit.
6. Get back to the finish line as soon as possible.
We've been missing gigs so much, we decided to recreate the experience! Who do you think will get the best time?

Used to haul my kit to CBGB every Tues. from NJ and back-up and down the street to wherever I could park. With heads off (1970s style), could carry 3 toms & cymbals loaded inside bass drum case hooked on L arm, snare & hh+splash in cloth case hooked around R forearm, and all hardware loaded in big 50mm Army surplus ammo box with handles on each end gripped in hands. Looked like a Spanish Armada flagship. At about 100 lbs., bulldozed it’s way through gathering crowds with great authority. Yes, drummers got strong. Glad to have moved on to small kit jazz!

The price of these is ridiculous. A Ludwig pocket kit is like $200 online. 16" bass drum and just as portable. Much better sounding too. I also love how the target consumer for these $1,000 "portable kits" are broke buskers and starving artist musicians.

@nomanshigh3058 2 года назад

Amen brother. I went Ludwig Jr, put G2s on and I can lift the whole kit Toms mounted and all into my Toyota Caldina station wagon. And it sounds better than these kits in my opinion.

@bungeechord1 2 года назад

I bought a ludwig Quest kit and I use a DW 20x12 bass drum, 750.00 and I sold the 18" ludwig bass for 150 to a guy that had a kit and wanted double bass drums.600 bucks and I gig with it all the time. On bigger venuse I use a mic or two.

@maprow 3 года назад

These kits sounded decent, but I think most drummers would be better off gigging with a Pearl Midtown or Ludwig Breakbeats. I bought the Pearl Midtown a few years ago, swapped the stock heads for some nice Evans heads and the kit sounds amazing. The floor tom, rack tom and snare fit in one bag and the bass drum (16") in another. A hardware bag and cymbal bag complete the setup. So, yeah 4 bags which take me 2 trips from the car to the stage instead of 1 like these. However, setup time is similar and sound quality on the Pearl kit is better than all of these. Still, cool to see these and love all of Drumeo's videos. Keep 'em coming.

Is the problem price or space? I found my kit, around $800 in cymbals, drums, hardware, and accessories going for $200 on a random Facebook group. Some guitarist had bought a kit on a whim, then got bored with it. There's deals like this all over the place.

@oldleatherstocking3185 3 года назад

What am I missing here? (disclaimer: I am a musician, but I am not a drummer) Maybe it was the mic, but on the gigpigs, especially the last one, the snare sounded like a tom, and the toms sounded like plastic lids from a coffee can. I listened through really good headphones, and I still don't understand why everyone liked these so much. For 2 grand, this would be a hard pass for me. This was a fun contest to watch and they were all well played, but has anyone watching heard these in person and do they sound better?

@sanityinaseaofmadness7353 3 года назад

Although it's easy to see Drumeo personnel having fun with each other in other videos, I really like the way this one makes you seem like a tight company; a group of people who like working with each other. Yes, this is partly due to the nature of this particular video, but it's obviously genuine. I'd love to hang out and have a beer with any or all of you... ps. I'd appreciate more product reviews like this, with a focus on the sound. Not "fun/goofy", but "practical/genuine". A couple of similar products with the same recording engineering setup that presents a better representation of what the products sound like (with price and practicality). I know you may not want to be a "product review" company, but a review of practicality VS sound might fit in with your general vibe...

@mattryan6886 2 года назад

I was skeptical 🧐 about these little compact kits looking at the thumbnail, after seeing them in action it changed my mind. My only however or edition would be a TM-2, SPD-SX, or Strike Multipad with triggers for snare, Bass drum and 2 BT-1 bar triggers or instead of bass drum trigger my KT-10 pedal. With Strike multipad you could just bring 2 SM-57 mics plug those into the audio input of pad then you could put EFX on the sounds the mics pick up from kit w/o having to mount triggers, similar to EAD-10. Damn forgot about EAD-10 that would might work good for this kit.

The store I work for carries the Toca Kickboxx, and though the provided snare and tom leave a bit to be desired, the kick itself sounds fantastic and it's a total blast to jam on! I swapped out the snare for my own 10" side snare and it honestly sounded like a legit kit. It has just enough room inside to carry the essentials (stick, snare, pedal, lightweight hihat stand, hihats and maybe a splash or small crash/ride with a boom arm) and could easily handle smaller/low volume gigs. I would happily keep one in my arsenal!

Great job! Could you include here, in chronological order of the challenge the names and brands of drumkits and a fast runthrough of pros and cons and prices of each? And lastly, which one sounds and works the best for a newbie? I really, really want to learn how to play, been wanting to since I was a kid, but my parents wouldn't let me cause we were constantly moving (my dad was in the military, plus, living on base, you never wanted neighbors to call the military police for being too loud....And now, in my 50s, after years living in an apartment downtown, it's hard, due to a a lack of space. What's made things worse is a lovely little thing called covid, which left me jobless since March 2020, so no luck there, either. But it's been my líneas dream. I'd really, really appreciate it if you could 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

@DrumeoOfficial 3 года назад

Love your comment, Mary. Here the notes we got from Kyle (the race host 😂): Dave & Jared both used *GigPig's* (Standard for Dave and Extendable for Jared). GigPig is made in Sweden. They're very easy to transport because they have wheels. They make cymbals specifically for them if you want. The Standard kit sells for $1299 USD with cymbals, and the Extendable kit sells for approximately $1999 USD. Brandon uses a SmackPac ($1495 USD). They are made in the US and come as a four piece kit. Super compact, but does not have wheels. They weigh about 60lbs. Cymbals are NOT included and there are a few different versions available. Kyle uses a Wizzdrum All In Kit. These are made in Holland and are almost completely 3D printed. You can set it up for standing OR sitting. These kits go for about $1340 USD (Cymbals NOT included). I hope that helps! It would be awesome if this video inspired you to start playing the drums!

@ricklang_drummer 3 года назад

Though I like what my Swedish countrymen have done with the GigPig, I'm not really a fan of "compact kits" after having had a few and gigged with them (Pearl RTG, Traps A400, Aerodrums etc.). Also been down the cajon route with pedals and extra snare. Even though compact kits are physically smaller and somewhat easier to carry, you will often still have 1-2 cases (or a box) for the drums, probably one for the hardware, one for the cymbals. Stickbag. And so on. In the end it really isn't that much more fuss to setup a "big" kit. Only if the venue allow 1 m2 tops for the drummer or so. And the trade-off in sound is worth it. But then again - haven't tried the GigPig.
