Vintage Drums: The Endless Money Pit 

That's an absolute killer drum sound your getting here wow.

Dude, that cordia Tama set is so rad. I've got a buddy with one who wants me to film with it. I gotta make that happen after hearing how good your kit sounds!

Damn! That drum you have is beautiful, what a warm sound it has.

ah, the rabbit hole of vintage drums haha killer kit!

Fellow Aussie power tom nerd here - thumbs up, bloke 👍👍

Just like everything else in the 90s. Power Toms are coming back.

if I had a nickel for every Australian drummer who makes hilarious drumming videos while also being nerds about vintage gear, and who are entertaining simultaneously... id have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice.

Man, that snare is choice!!

I chuckle when I think about the rack tom arms race of the 80s. Companies trying to take the concept of bigger, heavier toms further than everyone else, from power toms (10x12, etc.) to Tama's power plus or whatever they called it (11x12), to Sonor and Pearl's Custom Z series with their super-heavy, square-sized shells (12x12). It became an ergonomic nightmare. Then it happened again, albeit on a much smaller scale, in the other direction. Some time after DW introduced FAST sizes (slightly shorter 9x12, etc. toms, but longer 18x22 etc. bass drums), and traditional tom sizes became popular again, Tama pushed it further with their Hyper-Drive sizes - 7x12 etc. toms, and ridiculous 20x22 etc. bass drums). DW went even shorter with their Short Stack toms, although I'm unsure of where it fits in the timeline. Thankfully it didn't go any further than that.

Teasing that 8" mastercraft snare and not playing it with the kit. How could yoouuu

That was my first kit which I paid for...Parents bought my first beginner kit (CB700's) I miss the BOOM of those!

AMAZING power toms! What are the sizes? 13/15/18? I pieced together some 80s recording customs, and they're worth it, 100%! You know I had to get that 14x3.5 Yamaha brass snare to go with it!
