Give the Hazy Emperor snare side Head a try for the Snom. Its thicker than the Snare Side head that it came with to give it a true floor tom sound, but sensitive enough to articulate the snares. The Ambasador kills the snare wire sensitivity, Larnell Lewis quoted.
Hey Mike, Happy Easter! Well I finally did it, and thanks to you and your killer review. I got the seafoam green finish. I’m gonna be changing out the heads later this morning and just tweaking it in general. Like you I’m going to be putting non-coated heads on the two toms. I’ll take a couple of pics later and share with you. I had a rehearsal last night with them, I’m very excited about using this kit on smaller gigs. Thank you again for your review and hope to run into you soon.
@@casanodrums Hey now, today I I took all the stockheads off. I put the Evans G2 clear on both better sides of the two toms G one clear on the bottom Rezo side and wow what a humongous difference like tonality warmth and an actually depth. Put a G2 coded on the snare and I put a Emad Claire on the bass drum. Believe it or not I’ve put a check port on the bass drum. Sounds pretty decent. I’m playing my first gig with it tomorrow night I will definitely take some footage and probably go live on Facebook at some point. Again thank you because I really don’t think I would’ve bought the kid if it weren’t for your video and talk to me talking to me about it a couple months ago. Happy Easter Mike!
@@casanodrums I almost forgot. I tried to do exactly what you did putting the 4 drums in the bass drum case, for some reason I could not get the floor tom in there. I must be doing something wrong.
I think the stock heads are single-ply coated ambassadors. Pretty sure Remo makes these heads - as they do for the higher end Yamaha kits - but I could be wrong...
@@casanodrums You still liking the kit? Been on the fence about getting one for a while now, as I already have 2 other Yamaha kits with limited storage space. Still, this thing looks really fun to play. cheers
@@StephenSpivack yes I’ve been using it a ton! It’s great I think you’d have fun with it. I have 3 other sets too including a Yamaha maple custom absolute :)
Thanks man. I think you’re talking about the 18” K Sweet crash. That line of cymbals is great!! The hi hats are 14” K Custom Session (designed with Steve Gadd to sound like an old pair of hi hats he played for a long time).
