My drum teacher is 6'2 and like 325 lbs and plays on a tama club jam kit a fifth of his size for almost all his gigs (mostly jazz and worship drumming)
Exactly. Currently selling my Dw Performance studio set, gonna buy this, also gonna buy a crash, a better pedal, a new hardware case and a cooler snare. Its better not to have back problems, so this is gonna be a huge relief! One bassdrum case fits the bassdrum + floor tom + tomtom. It couldnt get any better.
This drummer is killing it! The kit is tuned so well. Every other video I’ve seen online on this kit made me leave like “eh, it’s ok” but this really shows it at it’s finest
Thank you for this! One of the things I look for in a drumset review is a guy who can actually play well who actually plays the drums with some conviction so we can get the real sound of the drums. Great Work! and I've been in the market for another small kit and this just may have me sold.
This kit sounds amazing for what it is. If you live in a small space or drive a small car to your gigs, hard to argue with how it sounds, and the price is right too.
Thanks for the great video! What a great little kit. I might have to have one. Also, those are the nicest sounding Zildjian cymbals I’ve heard. I just might need those more! Thanks again. Best wishes - Tim
Amazing playing by this guy, the kit sounds amazing and definitely he is big part of it. All the best for this guy...btw, I just ordered this kit (in surf green finish) form by local distributor.
Yamaha once again blows the competition to hell with this compact kit. Sounds like a full sized tom kit, and their lightweight hardware is the icing on the cake. Then the other special feature is the "fat"/electro floor/snare..Although that idea was created by Tama, Yamaha made it more financially accessible..Superb playing and audio quality as well..
This sounds great. I had my Stage Custom All Birch cut from 24 by 17 to 24 by 10 in 2014, worked very well and most of all, fit to trunk when roading. Tone comes from diameter, not from the depth I guess...
How did you achieve this beautiful bass drum sound? (listening to this through recording studio monitors with sub) I don't see any close mics in the video.
I'm fairly certain I'll be buying one of these kits for my practice space, plus for any rehearsals and quieter/smaller gigs - it will save time and my back. This tuning used here was great - I would love to port the front head and see how much more "slap" I could get with a wooden beater. Could you please confirm the batter head used here on the kick? Great drumming by the way too!
I have two of ”these”. The first time I had to shorten my 24x17 drum to 10” deep, and then I made 24x7 out of the rest what was left. Pretty sweet drums, they double as woofers also! I have used Evans EQ4 and Aquarian Superkick ll with great success. With short drum you have to deal with wild rebound and sustain, hole in a reso does make experimenting a lot easier. Good luck and have a great time with drums!
Now, if only Yamaha or any other major brand would make something like this, but with more tom sizes, like what DW did with the short stacks. Just don't make it like $2k for a 5 piece.
@@memphisdrumshop Let the man know he's got fans out here. That's some of the best drumming I've seen on your channel since George Sluppick was on here. :)
I was wondering how did you get that tight close miced sound without close mics. Than I saw that mic in the middle of the kit. Nice one Memphis drum shop 👍
Sweet kit, nice chops. But why choke those beautiful cymbals to the point where the wing nuts are so tight on the felt it doesn't allow them to breathe? Also, nice foot work. Making that shallow 20in kick blend in those groves is tight 🥁
