That was what i was about to say... We are more interested in hearing the drums themselves and have our own opinions, rather than hearing your opinions about them. Thanks!
I LOVE that you guys put in the effort to make such a time-consuming comparison. I've always been curious about the shell factor but never had the resources to examine it. Can you please also release a commentary-free version so we can really listen to the tones and truly learn from your experiment?
Gentlemen whats the point of going to all of that trouble....microphones and heads and temperature and tuning etc etc etc etc .....and then you talk over the entire sound track????
Awesome job and comparison! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! Appreciate the use of studio standard mics.Something I have always wanted to do but didn't have the resources. As a drummer, engineer, producer they all sound awesome but my favorite was now confirmed in a scientific way.
Ever since I switched to an Oak drum kit 7 years ago, I never went back. I love that beefy/mellow low end. I end up using soft cymbal sticks to create a mini tympani effect on my floor toms during softer passages.
Thank you so much for doing this absolute identical side-by-side no monkeying at the soundboard comparison it's the best we can do through recording gear to let potential customers know what the different Woods sound like
Thanks for this. I've been dreaming of upgrading my wood kit for years, but just not that sure which one to spring towards more. They all sound so wonderful and it's easier now to imagine what I could do with each, and how to play each depending on environment and the other cast of instruments. Thanks guys. Appreciate this.
I think people gave DW a little too much flak for this video. I think this was a wonderful production that showcases the individual attributes of these shells and we appreciate you listening to commentors and posting full videos of these drums in isolation. In short, thanks DW!
I wish we could have heard more of the drum sounds and less talking over it especially since you both pretty much keep saying the same things over again.
You took hours and hours to make this A/B test, put in online and share with people, and at the end everybody spit on you "too much talking, blabla bla". Really people ? It is a great comparaison, good job DW ! It confirms my love for birch :)
seriously thru my reference monitors in my tuned studio they all sound great and very much alike to bad yall kept talking over the top trying to influence us TALKLESS version please
dw drums sweet see this is why all my drum gear in my studio is DW and PDP but mostly DW with the odd piece of gibraltar hardware It's because you listen to us.
I was all excited that DW finally.... finally put up a comparison video! I was so.... so unexcited that it was hard to hear the difference between the tones. I heard the tones of the two guys speaking! That was very noticeable, but I'm watching this to hear the difference between the different woods, not those two dudes. Thumbs down to you DW! I hate to do that because I play a DW Cherry kit, and I love the kit, but this video needs to be redone with no talking, and use a better kick mic too while you are at it. \m/ \m/
Why do I have this “Pure Maple” stamp on my collector series kit from 2021, but my older collector series from early aughts doesn’t? i’m just wondering what it means and when it started.
I own a Birch Wood Tama Silverstar and love the fact that it cuts through the loud guitar players i'm in a band with! I chose Birch over Maple because of it's overall louder, tighter and higher tone.
I'd love to hear this drum set mix, would you mind doing so, olease :-) Cherry bass drum Birch high tom Oak floor tom Maple snare DW pure series are awesome thumbs up
Oak is refined and consistent. Easy to record that one, I bet, and would sound great in a mix that favored clear, articulate drums. Cherry is more lively. Would work well in contemporary music where oak might be too dry. Maple is a great all-around kit -- good bite, good tone, still very even. You could use that anywhere. Birch has great attack, a little brighter tone with good character, but not quite as elegant. Perfect for rock, but might be a touch too brash for some styles.
Its because of the natural density of the diffent woods maple is a lighter density, birch is a little heavier hence the darker tones oak is even more dense and cherry is a tighter grain.
Manny Marroquin, SSL, nice mics, no eq, no comp, exact same tuning, exact temperature, the most clinic A/B you'll see. And you can't hear pretty much anything. Nice
I think we all agree that less talking would be better. But, this isn’t surprising. This is a DW video. They have sell us on all the details of each kit/type of wood. Although i love the company and all four kits, there really isn’t a whole lot of differences in sound between all those high end drums. They are subtle. Now, once you start adding bass, guitar, vocals on top of that mix, the subtleties are less noticeable. It’s really all in: good heads, tuning, and the player. DW, like every company out there have to sell us their product. Hence, the talking. It’s a business. They’re in the business of selling drums. Great drummer. Great engineer. A lot of the time, that’s all that’s needed to move products. If they were to not talk, the company knows that the average consumer would not be able to hear big differences in sound. Again, this isn’t me crapping on DW or other companies. It’s just the reality of business. All companies make beautiful products. Rant over. Lol
Hi Joel, In the description, there is a link to our pure playlist which features the kits on their own. This was done intentionally so that the viewer could hear our guest's reactions but also have the option to hear the kits as well. Cheers.
Let my first say it was so cool that you guys put this together. Now though I appreciated the talks involves with these world class professionals, as a customer I would have loved to hear the drums more in isolation and possibly a discussion about their tonal qualities in between the sections. Just some simple editing, but either way thank you for the vid!
The Dialog is mixed a lot louder than the drums! I have to turn it down every time they talk,which is almost all the time. Who mixed the dialog? Manny is one of the best engineers in the business,so this seems very weird and unprofessional.
I've always loved the warm sound of maple, but that oak kit is awesome too. Actually, they all are, but if I had to choose one, I would take the maple kit.
Once again, birch has proven time and time again to be the ultimate wood for drums.. I'm not a DW guy, but the birch kit blew them all to hell.. But that's just me, i prefer birch shells.. Great comparison, and very consistent..
How about putting up the WAV files for DL... then I can place, say the Oak kick with Maple toms & birch snare into my DAW and play around with what I like!
Pretty cool! I noticed they took the effort to tune the drums the same way. Does that mean each shell in the different woods have the same fundamental pitch? Or did they tune to the same note irrespective of what the sweet spot of those woods have
Hello DW, And since it was filmed in a proper studio and I bet with some top audio gears involved, why don't you show some screenshots for the frequency spectrum on the different element of the kits?
The difference in drum woods is something that can barely be compared when listening to recorded audio, I have found. If you really want to hear the difference I think you have to actually play the drum, or hear it right in front of you in a studio environment.
Not that it would likely happen, but it'd be cool to hear comparisons by series. Like, of course all maple, but Collectors, Performance, Design, and then maybe Concept... Be cool to hear how they all stack up...
Paul,I've owned several all maple kits and one maple/ mahogany kit.They had the clear coated single ply heads on top,clear ambassadors on the bottom of toms and floor toms.The bass drum had the factory clear coated version of a p3,front head with 6 little vent holes and DW pillow inside. I assure you for my ears that's when they sounded and tunned up the best,especially when they went to the true hoops. DW builds top shelf drums that's for sure.I just prefer single ply heads.happy drumming.
Hi, Please check out the description for the video. It has a link to videos without discussion. This videos intention was for our artists to compare and discuss the drums. Thanks
@@dwdrums The other videos are not A/B comparisons. They are just the individual drumsets. I think most drummers prefer to hear the same groove being played in the same video on different kits so We can hear real time the sounds differences in the different species of wood. Seems as though you were doing that in this A/B comparison but with the near constant narration. I believe that is where your complaints are coming from regarding this video. That said, I love my DW performance kids and all the DW hardware I have. Keep on doing what you’re doing
Hi, Thanks for the love. We just want to add again that there are videos without discussion. The links are in the description of this video and on our TH-cam channel. This video's intention was for our artists to discuss.
Hello, we hope that you checked out the description for the video which has a link to view/hear the drums without discussion please take a look at the playlist below. th-cam.com/users/playlist?list...
Yes, your talking and the high pitched ring of the snares just ruined what could have been a wonderful comparison. I want to buy a DW kit and I'm considering cherry, maple SSC and oak. This video could have been so helpful.
DW's absolute great kits.. I love Maple /Birch or Maple/Walnut... Great Hybrids.. I guess that's why Mapex went that route... I have an Armory.. Love it really surprised at how great it sounded.. Looking at a higher end kits this video opened my eyes a lot.. The Mapex Saturn V MH is an amazing kit for the Price... If I Went DW I'm going with what I think is the most incredible sound ever!! I'm going Purple Heart
I noticed more lows in your voices, when you were talking about the oak and a bit more sustain in your voices, when discussing the maple. Now, when you described the birch, a little more mellow words were used. Great voices though ! 😁
The differences are subtle. Slightly more highs on the Birch. Generally they all sound close and no need to worry about the differences. They all sound good. Whatever difference mostly is felt and heard by the tone critical drummer. To the audience those differences are blurred. Drum wood comparisons are often hyped for marketing. DWs are great drums as are Sonor, Yamaha, Pearl and Tama. Drums on a high end level need no hype. I'm speaking from my experience with DW Collectors and Yamaha Pheonix drums. They're both great sounding drums. They sound different like good guitars sound different. A matter of personal preference. There is no real maple or birch sound. In the real world it's hard to tell in a blind test. Knowing is hearing. But not knowing is something else.
I’m curious what you were thinking continuously talking over the demo's? Seriously? It's really not about your subjective interpretation-- it's about ours. Thanks a lot. Making it as difficult as possible to hear any A/B differences.
Great idea, but I also wish it had a bit less talking. I am surprised as to how good the oak sounded. I’ve always known that maple and birch were great woods for drums.
I was really surprised at my favourite here. Before the video started I was thinking oak for sure, but after watching birch is the clear winner for me. Who would've thunk it? Good ol' birch.
This video would have been better if those guys weren't talking over everything.
Look in he description...there’s a ‘no talking’ version.
you guys should do a no/less talking version. it's hard to hear the nuances at some points. great sounding drums tho.
you are right Chris
That was what i was about to say... We are more interested in hearing the drums themselves and have our own opinions, rather than hearing your opinions about them. Thanks!
th-cam.com/play/PLKJ2mj3_3O427We14clWAl8hUZeSGH7vC.html
less talking would better
I do agree!!!
TALKLESS VERSION
th-cam.com/play/PLKJ2mj3_3O427We14clWAl8hUZeSGH7vC.html
Geez, please, a/b of the kits without any commentary. Not the way that I have to click through the videos.
@@dwdrums Unfortunately none of those videos are A/B.
ridiculous to talk through this
The Birch kit sounded the best to my ears. Thank you DW, great work!
🙏
@@dwdrums that why S drum used Birch for the top 3 type.
The talking totally ruined the whole video.
Indeed!
You can’t appreciate their friendship
I LOVE that you guys put in the effort to make such a time-consuming comparison. I've always been curious about the shell factor but never had the resources to examine it. Can you please also release a commentary-free version so we can really listen to the tones and truly learn from your experiment?
Gentlemen whats the point of going to all of that trouble....microphones and heads and temperature and tuning etc etc etc etc .....and then you talk over the entire sound track????
Awesome job and comparison! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! Appreciate the use of studio standard mics.Something I have always wanted to do but didn't have the resources. As a drummer, engineer, producer they all sound awesome but my favorite was now confirmed in a scientific way.
Thank you John
Man, I really appreciate the input from these guys but I'd really like to hear for my self too. Maybe a version of just the drums themselves too?
It will be out soon. We just wanted to release this first. 😃
Each note has that deep tone that makes it pure. Dw drums gives you the taste of choice of each custom drum. They really work for everyone !!!
Ever since I switched to an Oak drum kit 7 years ago, I never went back. I love that beefy/mellow low end. I end up using soft cymbal sticks to create a mini tympani effect on my floor toms during softer passages.
😄
Plz have a talkless verson
Sorry guys, came specifically to say, please don't talk so much over the kit clips.
Thank you so much for doing this absolute identical side-by-side no monkeying at the soundboard comparison it's the best we can do through recording gear to let potential customers know what the different Woods sound like
Here are the drums only as well. th-cam.com/users/playlist?list...
I’m #shooketh at the comments. Manny Marroquin has more expertise than all these comments combined. LISTEN to him, people!
😃
Thanks for this. I've been dreaming of upgrading my wood kit for years, but just not that sure which one to spring towards more. They all sound so wonderful and it's easier now to imagine what I could do with each, and how to play each depending on environment and the other cast of instruments. Thanks guys. Appreciate this.
I think people gave DW a little too much flak for this video. I think this was a wonderful production that showcases the individual attributes of these shells and we appreciate you listening to commentors and posting full videos of these drums in isolation. In short, thanks DW!
Hi, We also have the pure playlist with shows the kits without commentary. :-)
dw drums Oh yes I saw those and I was complimenting that you guys did that! Love it when a company listens:)
I have been looking for a video like this for years. Leave it to DW to come through. Very well done, thank you DW!
I wish we could have heard more of the drum sounds and less talking over it especially since you both pretty much keep saying the same things over again.
Great video! Comparing these drums was something I really liked.
Birch definitely has the most warmth, depth, attack and tone, with Cherry a close second followed by Maple and then Oak.
Great video! Next vid should be the Jazz, Maple/Mahogany, Eco-X and Classics series!
You took hours and hours
to make this A/B test, put in online and share with people, and at the end everybody spit on you "too much talking, blabla bla". Really people ? It is a great comparaison, good job DW ! It confirms my love for birch :)
Birch was definitely my favorite. They all sounded great though. +++
Please provide a version without the voice over during the earlier sections.
great video idea! it's cool to hear a true a/b(c/d) with these different woods
I would love to see a version with some of the newer hybrid shells and the solid purpleheart as well.
seriously thru my reference monitors in my tuned studio they all sound great and very much alike to bad yall kept talking over the top trying to influence us TALKLESS version please
It will be out soon. 👍
dw drums sweet see this is why all my drum gear in my studio is DW and PDP but mostly DW with the odd piece of gibraltar hardware It's because you listen to us.
So glad to hear that! Thanks DW!
th-cam.com/play/PLKJ2mj3_3O427We14clWAl8hUZeSGH7vC.html
DW is the Guardian Angel for real drummers who play acoustic drums. Thanks to all their hard work and passion.
Thank you
I love the cherry. So bright. That sounds amazing.
I was all excited that DW finally.... finally put up a comparison video! I was so.... so unexcited that it was hard to hear the difference between the tones.

Maple : Pleasing
Birch: Assertive
Oak: Soothing
Cherry: Defined
I'd love to hear this drum set mix, would you mind doing so, olease :-)
Cherry bass drum
Birch high tom
Oak floor tom
Maple snare
DW pure series are awesome
thumbs up
did you tune by ear they sound like that have the same tuning
Oak is refined and consistent. Easy to record that one, I bet, and would sound great in a mix that favored clear, articulate drums.
Cherry is more lively. Would work well in contemporary music where oak might be too dry.
Maple is a great all-around kit -- good bite, good tone, still very even. You could use that anywhere.
Birch has great attack, a little brighter tone with good character, but not quite as elegant. Perfect for rock, but might be a touch too brash for some styles.
Could we have a stereo mix of each kit cause it's impossible to compare with them talking on top of it.
Hi, it will be out soon. We wanted to give Trevor and Manny a chance to talk about how this came about.
How could we note the difference between the kits with those guys talking over?
In the Pure Playlist, we have performance only videos as well. 😃
Thanks. I saw the other videos after this.
can i hear the drums pls?
What are Remo Double A heads? Never heard that before ...
www.dwdrums.com/heads/2ply.asp
Its because of the natural density of the diffent woods maple is a lighter density, birch is a little heavier hence the darker tones oak is even more dense and cherry is a tighter grain.
Witch one cost more ?
Is it possible to download these tracks somewhere? Would be nice to be able to compare the different kits by myself.
Thank you for this!!!
Manny Marroquin, SSL, nice mics, no eq, no comp, exact same tuning, exact temperature, the most clinic A/B you'll see.
And you can't hear pretty much anything.

Amazing that they would go to such great lengths and then talk all over it.
Despite wood differences, which kit is this? Collector’s series?
Yes.
Great video here. I appreciate this
😄
How about bearing edges and reinforcement ring? The same?
The birch is strait walled and the maple has rings
Any time you feel like sending me 4 kits DW, go right ahead.
Any chance to make the wav files available for us? :D
Check out the other videos in the playlist as well 😃
I mean the uncompressed audio files (wav) for us to compare... Thanks! :D
I've always loved the warm sound of maple, but that oak kit is awesome too. Actually, they all are, but if I had to choose one, I would take the maple kit.
Maple/Birch is the way to go. Hands down.
Once again, birch has proven time and time again to be the ultimate wood for drums..
I'm not a DW guy, but the birch kit blew them all to hell.. But that's just me, i prefer birch shells.. Great comparison, and very consistent..
Collectors deserve their hate as does DW. But dw collectors birch is a gem
I’m really confused by DW’s offerings these days. HVLT vs VLT vs 333 vs HVX vs WTF? And what is A/B???
Hey everyone. There is a link to all the videos in the description of the drums being played without the talking overtop of it.

Hi All here is the Pure Playlist. th-cam.com/play/PLKJ2mj3_3O427We14clWAl8hUZeSGH7vC.html
Manny Marroquin is the man !!! What a fantastic mixing engineer!!!
What’s up with the Michigan logo in the corner?
Much of our precious wood comes from Michigan.
Nice. Makes me proud to be from Michigan 🥲
🙏
Cherry in a floor tom makes it really impactful without those low frequency's people cant hear anyways and you can feel it in the room
i'm like in to cherry.....if mahogany & cherry together what the sound would be like???
nadir6661 very dark, heavy sound
nadir6661 watch Thomas Pridgen's DW Go Pro video. he plays a cherry mahogany kit in that.
any video with sound if a drum like the one we talk about pls....?
The difference in drum woods is something that can barely be compared when listening to recorded audio, I have found. If you really want to hear the difference I think you have to actually play the drum, or hear it right in front of you in a studio environment.
Can you guys upload this same video without their commentary? It completely covers up what we're trying to hear in these different woods.
Hi. We did. :-) th-cam.com/play/PLKJ2mj3_3O427We14clWAl8hUZeSGH7vC.html

how we can listen if you always talk???

Not that it would likely happen, but it'd be cool to hear comparisons by series. Like, of course all maple, but Collectors, Performance, Design, and then maybe Concept...
Be cool to hear how they all stack up...
Drum Center of Portsmouth has done that exact video.
Why is michigan on there?
Thats where the wood was sourced.
I'd like to hear them with single ply heads; drums with double ply heads esp top and bottom tend to sound generally the same as each other to my ear
Paul,I've owned several all maple kits and one maple/ mahogany kit.They had the clear coated single ply heads on top,clear ambassadors on the bottom of toms and floor toms.The bass drum had the factory clear coated version of a p3,front head with 6 little vent holes and DW pillow inside. I assure you for my ears that's when they sounded and tunned up the best,especially when they went to the true hoops. DW builds top shelf drums that's for sure.I just prefer single ply heads.happy drumming.
I'm here for the talk show but theres a drumbeat sound in the background it's annoying.
the birch is the sound for me. Super earthy.
😃

Maple and Birch for me.
Birch or Cherry all day for kick and Toms with an Oak Snare. Like they say, Oak is surprisingly a great choice for snares.
I noticed more lows in your voices, when you were talking about the oak and a bit more sustain in your voices, when discussing the maple. Now, when you described the birch, a little more mellow words were used. Great voices though ! 😁

They all sound good but the pure birch, is the one I liked most.
🙏
This is really useful for average Joes who gig in small bars.
Great job. Now just let us listen
Great idea, but I also wish it had a bit less talking. I am surprised as to how good the oak sounded. I’ve always known that maple and birch were great woods for drums.
Hello, there is a link in the description to a performance only playlist.
I would get the Birch
I was really surprised at my favourite here. Before the video started I was thinking oak for sure, but after watching birch is the clear winner for me. Who would've thunk it? Good ol' birch.
😀
a blind video with the raw recordings would be cool.
th-cam.com/play/PLKJ2mj3_3O427We14clWAl8hUZeSGH7vC.html
I love the sound of the birch, maybe bacause I'm iased, knowing it's Dave Grohl's preference in Nirvana era. :D
