Chris, this is an excellent Club Jam video, and thanks for including the pack-up with the Club Jam cases. Nobody else has done that. I'm a 64 year old who started playin drums at age 9. In my youth hauling around a 10 piece Slingerland drum set was no biggie, but not anymore. Last year I sold my 7 piece Ludwig set and replaced it with a Club Jam kit like yours, and I couldn't be happier.

thanks for watching and for the comment. For me it won't replace my Starclassic, but you cannot beat the ease of use of this little kit!

I randomly played this at a guitar center and I loved it!

I am planning on getting me a micro drumkit Tama is on my list and so is the Ludwig "Questlove" also. Hopefully when my money I might grab 1 of those micro drumkit. What I like about them they're easy to transport it on a public transportation so I think I'll have my ways to transport it. Thanks my friend. 💜👍👍🥁

If you do want something light and portable go for Club Jam Pancake. You get the most portable option ever. With a bit of play around the tuning and changing the heads, you can get this thing sound really good

The Cymbal mount on the kick is great. Thanks for watching

Thanks for this helpful review , it also helped seeing you stand next to the kit to see it’s actual size before I buy it online. I live in a one bedroom flat and cramped for room but I’m used to a good sounding kit.

I got one of these as my first acoustic kit. I found one second hand with all the hardware I needed to get started. I play in a folk band with acoustic instruments, so I don't want it too loud and portability matters. I do need to look at upgrading the heads and get the bags. Thanks for your views.

Great stuff - thanks for watching. Definitely worth getting the bags.

Wow just what I was looking for, not a lot of reviews of this kit and this one is really thorough! I'm seriously considering getting these drums, I'm a complete beginner, just started taking lessons. Would you recommend these as a first kit? My concern is I wouldn't be acquainted with the usual setup, a second tom and overall size of it. The size of it definitely a plus.

@chrispidgeonmusician 5 ай бұрын

I would say that the actual size in terms of the playing experience is very similar to larger kits. As you say, there is only one rack tom, but actually that is a pretty common set up these days anyway. Thanks for watching.

The Sonor kits that are similar in size to these are quite a bit better in my humble opinion.

I had a Sonor Bop kit a while back and it was great. The defining feature of the Tama is the fact that it all goes in 3 cases. Thanks for watching!

Hi Chris! Would you mind to share where you found the extra part/clamb for the crash that is mounted on the bass drum? Thanks!

@chrispidgeonmusician 4 ай бұрын

It was included with the kit, but I think you can buy it separately. Thanks for watching

@anthonyp-gx3mk Ай бұрын

I noticed you changed the heads, I think white coated skins would better suit cheap Tom’s than new clear skins I’m guessing. Did you notice a big difference when you changed skins or just a little?

@chrispidgeonmusician Ай бұрын

Quite a big difference to be honest, but the stock heads are fine really

@DrummerGrrrl 2 ай бұрын

These would be better with a small Roland module (I can't remember the model number!) I would beef up the floor tom and bass drum.
