Hahaha! True that, as much as I love Maple drums, Oak really has some benefits over Maple. I reckon this Oak shell pack with 2 play Coated Evans G2 or Remo Emperor heads, you'll really hear the low end warmth out of these drums.
ELiTE_OpTiic I'll give you the answer for him!! D.W. has to get rid of those round big Camco lugs & redesign a smaller low mass lug!!! Less metal on the shells means more she'll resonance!!! That's the reason they don't sound as good as they should!!!!!!!! There's your answer to "Terrible!!!!!!!
Not a fan of oak drums based on the sound of these drums. Obviously not a horrible sound but wouldn't pay the money this kit is worth for this kit IMO.
That's completely fine, as a musician everyone has a different taste. In this video they sounded good, but I don't like how open they were, I always buy 2 ply coated heads. So Getting Evans G2 coated or Remo Emperors coated, will sound amazing. It'll give it so much more low end, a nice phat warm sound to accompany that also.
DW is good but I would rather get a tama starclassic Bubinga which imo sound better, have better innovative durable hardware, and cheaper, something about DW toms just sound off to me most times, they have some great finishes but I also prefer starclassic lugs over these big collectors series turret lugs. It’s all preference and that’s what makes music and drums so great cause everyone is so different but to my ears, feet, hands, and eyes...tama Starclassics are just the best feeling sounding and looking kits in the world imo. I used to have a DW collectors series maple mahogany and sold it after I got my tama starclassic BB kit for just a fraction of the price, got my 5 piece for just 1900 shipped in the exact finish and sizes I wanted and it’s the newer Starclassics so also came with the new hardware features brought down from the flagship star drums like the quick lock tom and floor Tom leg brackets which is the best invention imo for drummers who set up and break down their kits all the time, and the air cushioned floor Tom legs, and swivel wing mounting system. All that for 1900 is just unbeatable imo. Sweetwater has never reviewed a tama starclassic Bubinga kit, please make that happen sweetwater!!!
The 10" sounds choked compared to the other toms. Overall, they're very direct sounding with no ambiance. It could also be the recording method so it's hard to tell.
WOW... such beautiful sounding toms!!! I'd normally put this down in part to great micing. But there's only one I can see (in front of the kick) and one above, probably a stereo mic. The sound from these mics would be good enough for a recording!
I dunno. My 1st kit was a Vistalite. Of course, very loud but semi-unfocused sound, I'd call it. Love the 402 snare. Saw a hideously expensive DW snare. Played it. It was stunning. Made the 402 sound like a trash can. Of course, it's almost 3x the money, so... Yeah. If I had four figures for *one* snare, (USED!) I might consider buying it; switching, even. I've bought entire drum kits for less that that, with nice cymbals.
More stunning than maple or birch. My wallet hurts just thinking about them.

these drums sound sooo good.. and nick really does them justice!
I love these sweetwater videos, Nick makes all the drums sound so good
WOW these sound fantastic. How can DW's 1st foray into oak sound better than other companies who have been doing it for eons? Great job DW.
Yamaha makes great OAK drums too !
if they only could change the look of those rounded lugs.
don't have to try to figure out what the drums are. tho. lol
That's what make them DW!! 😊
I love the lugs, but with the price you pay it should be a choice.
DW offers tube lugs
DW continues their tradition of beautiful looking, terrible sounding drums. Nick is an awesome drummer.
The kick is pretty awesome though
sounds really warm to me, mention a good sounding drums.
This comment is suspicious. Please explain how DW drums sound "terrible".
I hope you were drunk when you wrote this.

There's your answer to "Terrible!!!!!!!

It's the Remo heads, trust me. They would sound better with better heads.

Those drums sound big & project tone with authority! Nice!
Great description lml

Now this one sounds amazing, all HVLT? Wow, I guess I need to start saving ;)
Awesome kit, thanks for not post processing the cr@p out of it so we can hear what it actually sounds like. Playing was superb as always.
DW Best looking best sounding drums on the planet.
love watching these drum vids.......great drummer
What a beautiful drum kit
Anyone know what the size of the bass drum would be when it's deep? I've seen bass drums where they're extra deep. Love the sound of it.
Why we can get a matching snare drum?
I like the 8-10-12-14-15 inch toms and a 16-18 inch floor toms 23 inch bass drum ,14 inch snare .
That snare sounds GREAT! Didn't think aluminum would sound that good. Atleast that particular sabre does. Better then steel.
Oak is probably my favorite for drums next to maple. So much attack
I look forward to the day drum manufacturers stop making 10X8 toms and start making "serious" sizes again
I have an 8 x 8. Might have two, come to think. One is tuned real high, tho. :)
On the other side I have a 14 tom, too.
Big toms suck
love every single drums video of this channel. keep up the great work.
@sweetwatersound #sweetwatersound the overheads mics?
it's recorded sound by the microphone behind you :)
Is it just me or do almost all crash cymbals sound more and more like China/crashes now? Does anyone else hear it too?
The dude abides It’s the size of the crashes
Now I can hear the oak Sound in it.
Hey Sweetwater, can you guys do a review of Ludwig Keystone?
yess... sure
Tama builts Great drums. I have two Tama snares.Love their Bunbinga drums.
This a DW video!
Tama are awful!
+Sean Lewis how are Tama drums"awful"?
+Seth Matagora they're not
Just don't like them, they do nothing for me and I don't like the sound of them.
The only drum kit I would play !
Tama has a better punchy sound :)
+Lorenzo Vagionakis it depends on the head combination, dampening, tuning, and the player. Just saying.
+Noah Powell yeah, but bubinga has its own unique sound. I don't mean Dw's bad, on the contrary, it's exceedingly well built. As Tama is though.
Tama😂
These are oak drums.
Tama doesn’t even have oak drums
So how can they have a better punchy sound.
what cymbals are those
dream set right there
What Ride is this ?
do some c&c drums
Prefer the Ludwig and Gretsch drums in these demos.
I dunno. My 1st kit was a Vistalite. Of course, very loud but semi-unfocused sound, I'd call it. Love the 402 snare.

We heard you the first time.
@@el.aye.bee.4477
You can the second time as well..
@@roybeckerman7843 maybe I will when I get to that level of senility, too.
Ludwig and gretsch 😂
