Two quick comments: Did anyone else notice the distinct note each of the Tama Bubinga toms produced? You could literally play four note melodies on them. Second, that Legacy Ludwig bass drum scares me. Afraid it might damage my walls if I were to buy/play it in my home. 😜

Impossible to pick a "best". If I wasn't looking at money, I'd probably agree with your #1 Pearl pick. Great tone. If I'm looking at value and great tone...gotta go with the red-headed stepchild Mapex. That combo of maple and walnut just talks to me, even beyond the odd logo thing on the rack toms. And they had the best wingman in those Wuhan Koi chinas!...mad respect to all the makers, though. Thanks for another great vid!

In no special order the ones I liked best were the Ludwig Classic Oak, Gretsch USA Custom, Sonor Vintage and The Ludwig Legacy Maple (although I have heard them sound better in other videos). While the Pearl Masterworks sounded great, I just don't see it for the cost. The other kits I mentioned first sounded better to me. And The Ludwig Supra Chrome Over Brass was the best sounding snare drum which should be of no surprise. A little disappointed that there was nothing from Noble & Cooley, but I don't know how this list is determined. Excellent playing by everyone (and the gentleman who played The Yamaha Absolute Hybrid gets an "honorable mention" in this category) and as always great video.

@Jaake-my2rq 2 жыл бұрын
The Bonham Legacy Maple beautifully proving my theory that thin shells and big drums were born for each other! I have to admit; the Masterworks build method with the Gretsch USA shell recipe is a pretty great sounding set of drums. It's great that Pearl finally found something they can be good at besides hardware. It probably doesn't hurt the sound that Pearl's mounting hardware is a bit more science oriented as well. Still, I think Gretsch USA has better finishes and there's no doubt whatsoever regarding which brand is going to hold its resale value longer. Great video as always!

My favorite sounding kits here were the Gretsch USA Custom, the Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple and the Ludwig Classic Oak. I also quite enjoyed the sound of the Legacy Maple kit; I'm not personally a fan of playing those sizes (I'd go 12 or 13 rack, then 14 16 22 for that setup) but man, that sounded powerful. But I think we're now in need of Drum Center of Portsmouth's official top 10 flannel shirt countdown, also hosted by Adam.
@Zazquatch1 2 жыл бұрын
I agree on the Gretsch, Yamaha and the Classic Oak. I would ad the Tamburos (specially the snare and kick drum, and also the Sonor Vintage and the Pearl Masterworks. What I found most "interesting" (personal view, of course) is that the most gorgeous drums, like the Canopus and the Tamas, where the ones that sounded worst. The finish of the Canopus matched with either of the others mentioned, would be a dream. Still I know the US Customs have a beautiful finish already

They all sounded great..I'd like to hear a few different heads on each kit also. Hoped that a Noble & Cooley kit might be in there but hey I know it's only a subjective list anyway. No British Drum.Co either. No acrylic drums in the countdown either.. sa la vié. When is Premier going to expand into the USA again ? I love your videos and the talent and humor you guys have. You always kill it ! Merry Christmas
@Coylee91 2 жыл бұрын
I think Premier exists more or less as a registered name and little more. I haven't seen a kit in person in a UK shop since 2013 and nothing online since they moved to Asia around 2015. A couple of places say they're official dealers and can order direct from factory but I've never tested that. I'd sell body parts to get a 90s Signia kit in my preferred sizes, but most people keep hold of them knowing how good and hard they are to come by.

@kravitz1999 2 жыл бұрын
I'm a Tama guy, always have been, but I really liked that Pearl/Gum and Sonor! Tama always seems to have a unique tom sound, different from any drum, it's just their thing. That Sonor sounded so warm and that Pearl when hit the right way almost sounds like an electric pad, but in a good way. From this list, DARE I say, I'd take the Sonor for my basement (the Tama gods are furious). :P

Thanks for the video. It's nice to see what is out there. I have always liked Sonor Drums, but I wished there were better options for larger piece shell packs and chilling a little bit in price. The local chain store tried to pass one on those that didn't kmow nuch about "trim" levels when they put out a Yamaha Absolute Series in the area that is usually for testing out drums. I wonder how many Stage Customs they sold when the customer discovered the price difference....lol. I hope to buy soon, and will consider your store, despite being out of state.

@billytrance6893 2 жыл бұрын
DCP and others. Here is something to think about: (1) how a set of drums sound is particular to that drummer's ears (their perception), and (2) it can sound quite different to other band members and therefore, what the drummer likes may not be the "best fit" in a drumset for the band. As a drummer turned bassist, I can honestly say that learning the bass (or another instrument for that matter) has made me a better drummer for sure. Why? I can understand better from direct experience how the drums fit into a band better. When I was a drummer, it was from MY perspective only. Now, as a bassist, I understand what a guitarist (or bassist for that matter) may want in a drummer (sound) and what they really want as a main quality in a drummer (solid time). Having said that, the Ludwig Oak set sounds really good. For me, I would go with the 20x14 BD, 12x8 TT, and 14x14 FT. A good set of 13" hihats', 20' crash/ride, and a 17" crash. This would fit in perfect! Great video and thanks for posting!

Yes! Pearl Maple Gum shells rule them all! I will not upgrade to anything else but those… someday. I wanted to like the Sonor Vintage Rock kit more, but the 13” & 16” toms were just tuned too high for a “rock kit”. Maybe two-ply heads tuned lower? Loved the Ludwig Oak kit too.

First off, the Legacy Maple Bonham kit is in a class by itself, and with those big sizes really can't be compared with the other kits. Of the rest, the Ludwig Classic Oaks were killer - great punch and bite, and that bass drum sounded the best of all on the room mics.

I never was a big fan of mapex but that was the most punchiest kit out of all the sets. Sheesh

Barrett’s playing on big kits never get sold. He honestly sounds like Bonham would if he were alive today.

Dearfriends, a few considerations I wantto share with you: as Italian I can tell that here the Tamburo brand doesn't have many fans, we prefer foreign brands....you know the grass is always greener...As far as the other drum sets I've been impressed by the Ludwig Bonham maple as well as the Mapex Saturn, which btw I consider an underrated brand. Surprisingly I didn't see any N&C set that I personally love. All the other kits are definitely excellent but haven't heard anything breaking the rules though. Possibly because the level is extremely high as of today and raising the bar any further is a mission impossible ? Ciao
