I play the Decade Maple with all Evans Black Chrome batter heads and all Evans Black Resonant heads, no tuning problems at all Man.. Sure, heads may detune over time, but all drums do detune.. Other than that, the Decade Maple is an affordable pro-sounding kit for sure..

Snare, not that good though..

@@TimPetersonMusic Hi Tim; Thanks for your message. We did order and receive our Pearl Decade kit...love it! Will keep those Evans heads in mind as a replacement. Cheers Roger

@@rogerkenworthy6380 You’re welcome, Man.. It’s a pleasure.. What configuration did you order? The 5 piece, the 7 piece or the 3 piece with the 24” kick?

@@TimPetersonMusic We have the five piece with five Istanbul cymbals. There was a deal from the store and they gave us the splash as well.

That's probably why no one uses dixon drums

Most drum sets sound bad with the mic from a cheap camera or cellphone. Here is a link with propper mics and mixing: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdSSbJBysMyzpmw.html And: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdedf72r2LjDm6s.html

I played these exact drums at this NAMM (and signed with DIXON shortly after) and they sound incredible in person!

Also he’s playing with brush sticks.

David Suprenant I just bought the 10-12-14-20 configuration for $850 including tax....I cannot wait for delivery.

Dennis Johnson Drummer Yup same here lol, I have some vids playing on BYOSphere so check it out

Yes!

Mr Alan Abel (Philadelphia Orchestra) himself used traditional grip in playing concert snare. It's a personal preference and based off, hence the name, tradition. Beginners and percussionists in general are only often encouraged to play matched grip only because they don't need to switch techniques when changing instruments.
