@@chrismossy9774 i have an addiction problem. LOL!! I love buying and selling drums, i'm always curious about how does this drum sounds compare to that one. Same thing with cymbals. I've had so many different drum kits, snare drums and cymbals, it's ridiculous. At one point, i had 40 snare drums in my room. It's a very expensive addiction and i'm trying to slow down and eventually hopefully i can stop and be happy with all the gears that i have. Hopefully. LOL!!! It's better than being addicted to drugs I guess. LOL!
@@nalumith 40 snares! Wow, that's true passion and obsession! If I had more space at home, I might have collected old 80s keyboards. I started buying some but realized I had to put a stop to it before getting addicted. Are you satisfied with your new set? Does it sound good? Does it sound different from your previous set? Would you like to add more additional things such as agogos, timbales, China cymbals and other percussion instruments?
@@chrismossy9774 i love the new kit, it's a Tama. I've been a long time fan of Tama drums, it was the first beginner set i bought with my own money when i was 14, then later on i bought my first professional level kit which was also a Tama. From then on, my addiction started and i've owned and played pretty much all the major brands. But i have to say my favorites are Tama and Yamaha. Right now I only have Tama kit and snare drums. I love my new kit, it sounds great. it's sounds different from my two previous kits. my two previous kits were a birch kit and a maple kit. This new Tama kit is a hybrid of both birch and maple wood so i get the best of both worlds. Birch has a dry brighter sound while maple has a very warm full rounded spectrum of highs, mids and lows. I'm not too crazy about percussion stuff, i have a cow bell that's about it. I love china cymbals, I always have 1 china cymbal in all my set up. You can see it in this video, it's right above my ride cymbal to the right side. it's hard to tell it's a china cymbal but if you look real close the edge is bent down like a flange.
👍3 One of my favorite aha-songs. Where did you get this version? This is not the album version. Ah, I found it. It is an early single version! There is also demo-version where this songs transforms into "Scoundrel Days". I think I told you before but if not, it's here:th-cam.com/video/VvB_HvnwYnk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KlhEXtdgwZr8gW09
i'm glad they didn't release the demo version. LOL! yeah I remember this single version was on the b-side of the single "I've been losing you" and later when they re-released it on the album "stay on these roads" i was so disappointed, the original single version sounded so much better. It had more groove and more soulful than the generic electronic album version. This early single version is very hard to play, those fast 16th notes on the hi hat is brutal but at the same time trying to concentrate on making the groove sound good and also trying to keep up with 3 separate beat changes and all the crazy fills in between was very hard for me. that's why when i dropped the stick, i just kept it in there. i wasn't going to do a re-take because this was already like my 10th take. LOL!!!!
@@nalumith I think the Scoundrels Days-refrain on the demo sounds quite good and heavier than in the final version (which I also like) because of the slow heavy rhythm and the voice sounds even more powerul! But it seems like the demo has two refrains so I think it's good they separated them. They combined the Scoundrel Days-refrain with a verse from an old pre-Morten song.th-cam.com/video/gJzPDIX23B0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EaLKelOaCZceK-gw You got used to the single-version so I understand you like it better. But to me, the album version sounds better. The snare sound is so punchy and tight. And I like that the high-hat is hit twice together with the bass drum during the refrain - sounds more punchy and dramatic! That is real open high-hat. They used both an drum machine closed high-hat and added a real high-hat (which is also played in closed mode, on the left while the a real cymbals is played to the right). The synth strings also fit nicely, especially when they occur after the break at the end. The vocals are also better on the album version. So the single-version sounds like a demo to me. Even though they used a drum machine there as well, it sounds sloppy and the song sounds unfinished and undeveloped, missing the strings and the drum pattern also has some random fills than doesn't fit. Well, it still sounds good! 8 out of 10 while the album is 10 out 10.😃 Well, sometimes less can be more and sound more rough, just like that "slow simple" Scoundrel Days Demo! So you are right, too. And: I'm impressed that you can play 16 beat with one hand that long on the high-hat!
@@chrismossy9774 yeah, you have a point. I suppose maybe if I heard the album version first, I might like it better than the single version. Who knows? But that's usually how it works, we're attached to our first impression of things. I really like the rawness and the imperfections of the single version. For me I prefer the feel and energy and the vibe over flawless production. I think you're a perfectionist so it's understandable you would prefer the album version, it is definitely very polished and produced. Just from a drummer's point of view, when i listen to the single version. I'm compelled to play along but when i listen to the album version. I doesn't inspire me to play along at all. But that's the beauty about music, we all have different taste. We don't have to like the same things.
New green Toms?
this is my brand new drum kit. i sold both of my old kits to get this one.
@@nalumith Why did you change the kit? Does the new one sound better?
