+Andertons Music Co I recommend a simple mic setup for a more natural representation. Since you peeps seem to be into Rode, maybe do an NT4 stereo overhead and one of the ribbons out front.
+Arman Amirkhanyan I prefer no microphones, even if they don't eq the drums in the track, microphones tend to give you a less than ideal sample of what the drums sound like in real life. a room mic like the one they've used in this video gives a much more accurate picture of what the drums sound like in the real life.
First off: These drums look gorgeous and sound fantastic! Secondly: Dear Captain, you must be proud to have such an incredible resemblance to both your father and your grandfather. Third: YES! More drum videos! But also more guitar videos!
Hey Cap, you started the "All about the Bass" series and we love it...and even tho the majoity of us are guitar players, i am pretty sure it wouldnt take long for a drum series to catch on...any chance we might see a drum series in the near future?
for all drummers! I'd love to start drums but I'm not sure whether it's a better idea to buy a full cheap kit or a bass, snare and hi-hat of a higher quality and add to it over time
Beautiful product all around, but the last kit Ian played was AMAZING! The finish, hardware/lugs, and tone was superb! Does anyone know if these kits will be available in the U.S.?
I know this is an older video. But I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the kit featured around 17:38 in this video. Can you post the name/specs for this? Thanks!
because of drums being my first instrument.. with history and comedy being my second , to see Mr Al Murray in the same room as the captain is giving me an adrenaline rush only equal to the one I experienced when I first behelt a vagina .
Oh my sweet baby jesus on a lawn mower, i had no idea Al Murray had anything to do with drums :O for the first minute or so i just thought "he looks like Al Murray
+David Oakes It was when I saw him standing next to Nigel Farage in Thanet South the morning after the 2015 general election that I realised how big he is!
+Richard Harrold Vox never was an American company. I guess you could say Vox is a Japanese company since it was bought by Korg but it was founded in England.
I thought, for a non-drummer, the Captain asked really good questions about the drums which, honestly, I didn't hear great, compelling answers back to. Brits don't sound confident in themselves, especially the maker of these drums. No where near as high energy or as fun as the guitar videos :)
No, we just don't unnecessarily hype stuff up. Americans come across as overtly enthusiastic to a degree that it seems extremely over the top, disingenuous, and cheesy.
The problem with British made things is they tend to focus on high end, boutique, master crafted and expensive; not something a journeyman could afford. Think British guitar makers and pen makers (Yard O'Lead, for example). The *cheapest* shell pack on Andertons website from these guys is £1.9k, and thats for bass and two toms. Snares starting at £579. Sorry, I know you take pride in your product, but when I go shopping, first thing I'll be looking at is price; your prices exceed what I'd pay for a far more substantial top end kit from a brand. If this is you doing mass production you're not doing it correctly.
+gggfx - Agreed. I'm afraid though that this is *the* problem in the UK. I did exactly the same as you did and went on Anderton's to check out the prices, YIKES !!!! The recent Video from Anderton's is about the Law of Diminishing Returns. Is a £2.4k basic kit going to sound *that* much better than one that's less than half of that ? PS - I bet I could have found some dead spots on that snare - in my experience, they all have them.
What are these more substantial kits you speak of? Compare German made Sonor, USA made Gretsch/DW/Ludwig, and Japanese made Tama/Yamaha kits to these and they are similarly expensive drums. Drums produced in first world economies have higher labour costs. I'm sure you are referring to Chinese made drums by the major manufacturers as that is what more affordable high end kits typically are. And this isn't a knock on Chinese made drums as I've owned Made in China kits from Mapex and Yamaha that I've been very happy with.
First bass content and now drums! So much great stuff on this channel now, it's brilliant!
We need more drums stuff. Please, give us some. And mic up the drums!!! :)
+Arman Amirkhanyan More drum stuff is coming. And it will be mic'd up probably next time. ;)

Brilliant to see some drum content on here. Please keep it coming. And oh man, the last full kit shown is absolutely gorgeous!
I saw the title, saw Al's name, was like... I doubt it. Then I saw him and nearly burst out laughing, this is great!
Hi from France
Thanks Ian for this Drum demo. I will train again "Shoot the Runer" on my old Asama. (Why not on a BDC in a few time...)
My next drumkit! in a few years :P
hey lee you should think about maybe doing a mini documentary on the history of andertons
+jake winchester This. A million times this
First off: These drums look gorgeous and sound fantastic!
Secondly: Dear Captain, you must be proud to have such an incredible resemblance to both your father and your grandfather.
Third: YES! More drum videos! But also more guitar videos!
I owned a British Drum Co. in the 60's so the name is not new . I will definitely be in the market for a vintage style kit .
They sound Wonderful...even with no close micing....fantastic...
What gorgeous drums. Would love a shot and good on these guys, all the best.
Such good drums i have a kensington crown finish kit by them and paid out of my arse for it but was well woth it .
beautiful looking drums. Well done for supporting British manufacturing.
I like that drums are being added to this channel but you have to mic them up next time because I don't think this really did any of the kits justice
Absolutely! Difficult to hear the kit properly.
Hey Cap, you started the "All about the Bass" series and we love it...and even tho the majoity of us are guitar players, i am pretty sure it wouldnt take long for a drum series to catch on...any chance we might see a drum series in the near future?
+Sidney Turner yeah why not, right? Or maybe a whole new series like "All about the drums" kinda thing..
super cool video! well done England!
I love British drums. Really out of the top drawer and will seriously consider them for my next kit
for all drummers!
I'd love to start drums but I'm not sure whether it's a better idea to buy a full cheap kit or a bass, snare and hi-hat of a higher quality and add to it over time
Were you rushing..... or were you dragging?
+MinGamingKanal Not my tempo!

Best of luck with this company lads

Beautiful product all around, but the last kit Ian played was AMAZING! The finish, hardware/lugs, and tone was superb! Does anyone know if these kits will be available in the U.S.?

+everyinchtheanimal Coming up ;)
+Andertons Music Co I love you guys 😊
Oh my sweet baby jesus on a lawn mower, i had no idea Al Murray had anything to do with drums :O for the first minute or so i just thought "he looks like Al Murray
Holy shit, that's actually Al Murray. I was expecting it to be just some random dude with the same name.
+Wethewax that's his way of going incognito between tours.
+David Oakes It was when I saw him standing next to Nigel Farage in Thanet South the morning after the 2015 general election that I realised how big he is!
*****
He's about the same as me, 5ft 9ins or so. Al Murray must be at least 6ft 3ins.
+Wethewax It has to be Teddington Lock, surely?
*****
The Times is hardly a paragon of non-cheating. Surely the Daily Telegraph would be more appropriate? ;-)
Al Murray the pub landlord?
I though you were with al murray the pub landlord haha
he was
+JB Productions bloody hell i didn't recognise him, man that makes day thanks for telling me mate :)
That is Al Murray the Pub Landlord. He grows his hair and beard when he's not touring.
Ryan's World no problem lol I was bloody confused when I saw him as well.
please, start a drum series. But you've got to mike up the kit properly, this does not sound good.
+crottedepingouin Drum show is on the way. Very very soon.
+crottedepingouin Sounds OK to me, I've heard far worse!
Needs more cowbell.
+Jamie McEwan Always ;)
"Some companies you think are British, but really everything's made in the Far East"... like Chapman Guitars, you mean? 3:)
I was thinking Vox tbh. Rob never tried to hide the fact that his guitars were made in Korea.
João Miguel Gomes
Vox is an American company AFAIK?
+Richard Harrold Vox never was an American company. I guess you could say Vox is a Japanese company since it was bought by Korg but it was founded in England.
João Miguel Gomes
Right... I just remember hearing that they made amps in the US back in the 60s. Sound City studio was formerly a Vox amp factory.
I get why you thought Vox was an American company then.
was not expecting to see al murray ! wtf !
Are the boys high?
But if Al is here then who's grooming the badgers ready for the badger parade??
They nicked the Biffy clyro logo!
