824 id have pearl over tama and sonor any day. Better hardware

24:02 is showing a Starclassic performer (birch)

What a crap ...specially that with imaginary snob percentages ..pathetic...you really Got an expensive car attitude...😂

Gretsch drums all the way, G

I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

I play a Yamaha Beech from the early 2000s. I still dig the Pearls and Tama brands that u see in garages and clubs everywhere. Great kits that are great to lug around without worrying about getting dinged.

Get a handcrafted stave drum kit if you want to talk high end

I want that vintage copper finish Slingerland kit at 0:42!

Absolutely fucking useless video.

Pardon my French, but the content of this video is utter shite! Working myself in drum-retail for over 20 years, knowing all of these brand by heart plus being a working drummer for many years.... I don't even know where to start.

Pearl Export is the #1 selling drum set in the world....millions have been sold.....and they're last? Where is the data culled from? US? Europe? Asia? Each of these brands would rank differently when looked at point of sales. Also, there's no denying Mapex is now a major player, yet they're not even mentioned?

ridiculous personal opinions. Highly disagree.

Pretty surprised by a lot of this. I’d be keen to know where and how the data was collected

I have Pearl. Using them for 20 years. I have the high end hardware. The hardware is alright. Yamaha, DW and Tama definitely do a better job manufacturing their hardware. Itbwiuld be interesting doing a video about cymbals. I think they olay a bigger role than the actual drums

I have kits by 4 of the makers. I have a DW kit but I would take a nice Pearl kit over all others. I have no use for Gretch, nor Sonor. Ludwig is great for vintage kit but their new stuff is not as good as they used to be.

Best drum set out there , I have a DW Collectors , been playing for 45 yrs , you get what you pay for. It will last a life time .

Sooooooo Ludwig is the "mid." No certain notable. Other brands have strong points

Cool video. I'm a Yamaha guy. But in my opinion/experience it boils down to preference, budget, and application.

Tama Superstar Classic with Paiste PST7s is always a solid bet.

How about Premier drums?

This video is pointless AI garbage. The copy is drivel.

Personally I think Pearl and Dw are the most popular 🤷🏽‍♂️

mapex, pdp, ddrum, taye, SPL, SJC, premier, rogers, dixon, natal, noble & cooley, and a whole litany of others not mentioned. vintage brands like slingerland, trixon, leedy or camco. discontinued brands like OCDP, peavey, fibes, or ayotte. electric kits from roland, alesis, yamaha, or hart. this video is grossly incomplete.

Awesome list! While there's a lot to argue/discuss about the placements in this list, I think this starts a more "organized" discussion of what's what and who's who when it comes to manufacturing drums. Effort appreciated. Also, great job in stirring conversations with drummers. I have the limited run Pearl Wood Fiberglass kit. Where do you think that falls under?

Tama is the best brand in everything dw is shit

But : everyone should know that, today, every range is very, very good... Think of the Gretsch Catalina Clubdate, for example. Lots of mistakes here : sources of polls ? Definitions of quality ? Where is the survey ? How about legendary makers, Japanese makers and the last European big maker (Sonor) ? And more : we can now, more or less, define how "prestigious" a drumset is, according to where it is really made. "Made in USA", "Made in Japan", "Made in Germany" : they rules. I own a made in USA Ludwig Classic Maple and a recent Gretsch Catalina Clubdate. "Made in China" is INCREDIBLE today ! There are still a lot of symbolic visions when it comes to music instruments.... A good drummer never really cares.

All this "analysis" is AI generated! Even the bar charts are the design provided by ChatGPT. I actually tried myself putting your variables and indicators in the OpenAI platform and I also asked for the bar charts. Maybe you can fool the new kids, but not a drummer with more than 35 years of experience with basic knowledge of new software technologies. All this "ranking" will confuse new drummers.

This made absolutely no sense

Nice content,thanks for making this video

This video is pretty goofy. If you've got maple shells and decent heads, a drum is a drum pretty much.

do you mean to tell me Pearl is the least favorite of all 8 company's ?? And I see there kits all over town and tv

why no MAPEX? o.O

I may be in the minority, but I think this is a very good breakdown of the brands. My only thing is, I think Mapex could’ve been included and Sonor left off. Here in the states, I don’t see many weekend warriors playing Sonor drums

Where in the literature for PHX does it mention 3 shell types-Focused and Clear; Warm and Fat; Bright and Open?

You couldn't get Marcus Gilmore's footage for the Vintage section???

I have a Crush Chameleon 6 piece white on white kit. This kit is considered a middle of the road set. The quality of this kit is that of the sets profiled in this video. 10 lugs on the kick drums 8 on the toms and snare. This kit is a beast. With Remo heads on the toms reso and batter. The kicks have evasn EMad batter side and evans level 360 reso side. This kit performs as well or better than these sets in the video for half maybe more on the price. My buddy has played DW for years. He played my kit one time for an hour and begged me to sell my kit to him. Crush killed it with the Chameleon line of drums. Thanks Crush.

This made very little sense.

No Mapex? Like literally a historical brand missing.

where´s mapex

Yamaha phoenix and Sonor SQ are as highend as it gets

nice idea... thanks!

Does anybody remember 'Orange Drums' and 'Hi Percussion?'

I’m a DW guy myself!!!!

You obviously no nothing about Pearl drums.

where is mapex and premier?

This is worthless. How can one brand be near the top in one graph and at the bottom in another ? By the end it’s more confusing than ever. And Tama being highly regarded for superior hardware ? I call total BS on that. I sold my Tama kit BECAUSE I’d had it with their inferior rack tom hardware. After tightening the adjustments, you could use 2 fingers to move any piece out of position. I now own 3 kits: 1 is Pearl Reference; the other two are Sonor AQ2. Both have vastly superior hardware (and sound) to the Tama kit.

I'm a DW guy but the fact that he didnt talk about pearl hardware is criminal.
