- In the process of building the MLC (mid-life crisis) set, I am picking up the necessary hardware until the drums arrive. Just picked up the DW9000 remote hi-hat stand today.
Thanks so much for sharing this! There’s not many detailed videos about how these work so I appreciate it.
I noticed that too. Seems like there just aren't a lot of people using them. Understandable due to the price. But having a remote HH from 1990 to 2000, I absolutely fell in love with the possibilities. I knew I wanted to go this route with my mid life crisis set.
I just bought this stand used at a substantial savings. I also have a mlc kit after a twenty years hiatus. Really enjoying playing again and had found some pretty good guys to jam with. Nice kit you got there and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine.
The pedal I want the cymbals I want. This video is what dreams are made of haha
Super.Poland drummer 😊
Hope we get more cool videos with those hi hats
I’m waiting on my drums to show up from Tama. I did a special order so it’s taking forever for them to come in.
I have two remotes on my Gibraltar mid life special Roland overblown for my talent kit.
Still debating a second one down the road.
That picture is freaking awesome lol
Senior pictures.
I myself just prefer having an aux closed HH on the right, but this looks like a killer product
I just finished building a similar mid life crisis kit, lol. I went with the Tama remote hi hat. I’m using it with a set of 13 aux hats. Still have my 15s on a regular stand. You definitely can feel the difference but it’s really smooth and adds a lot of options playing open handed. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing the rest of your build.
I can’t wait to get this thing built. I’m still waiting on a second bass, two toms and a snare. I’ve been playing with the HH on the right for so long that it now feels weird to play a regular drum set. It’s been 23 years since I sold my last acoustic and went electronic. So I’m stoked to get the HH back over there on an acoustic again.
Do you have any pictures of your mid life crisis set? I like to get inspiration from others.
Alright, I tried to reply twice and it’s deleted it somehow both times. Gonna try without using the app. Anyway, I do have pictures. It’s a Premier Signia kit, my dream kit from when I was a kid in the 90s. If you like we can connect on Facebook and I can send you some pictures. Have a great day.
@@mbaroneva76 Well, I found three Michael Barone’s. :)
Sounds like a kit I need to see. I’m doing the same thing, basically. This set will be a combination of my dream set from the late 80’s and early 90’s combined with what that dream has become over time.
I’m the one with a wife and four kids in the cover picture, wife and my daughter main profile pic. My profile is public. Occupation is foreman with Mercedes, live in Virginia.
Thanks for the video, I always wondered the mechanics of the remote hi hat from DW I always wanted to get one, I know that DW makes the best hardware out there. You should check out there hydraulic snare stands, that's on my wish list too some day. Good luck with your new kit and keep making your videos, I appreciate your help!
Very helpful 🤘🏻
Magnifico.👑👑👑👑👑👑
subbed hope the set goes your way buddy!
Really appreciate that. Part of the drums arrived at the drum shop this week and I haven’t been able to go pick them up. I almost don’t want to pick them up since they all didn’t come in.
Awesome dude! I’ve been putting together a mid life crisis electric drum set over on my channel if you get bored check it out🤷♂️
The black piece in the bag with that drum key is a mount , it clips on to a stand and will hold your drum key....u probably already figured that out but in case.....
I sure did but thank you. I felt a little dumb when I figured it out.
@@basementdrumlab hey it happens! Damn nice kit you got goin on, I saw the Ice blue mlc kit, and love it for sure!!
Your living my dream lol
This has been a long time coming. Sold my last Tama set in 2000. I had an affordable kit for years but I wanted to build this for more than 10 years. Finally just decided to make it happen.
Excellent remote hat
I gotta get a shorter cable though
I’m glad it’s easy to replace. I don’t remember my old Tama remote being this easy to work on.
See you have a pdp Mx series. Where you get the 2nd floor Tom?
I bought that set like that. The guy who had it before me converted a rack tom in to a floor tom.
How does it feel, does it react quickly I got the pearl one it‘s decent, but curios sbout other experiences.
I am really pleased with it. It feels exactly like I hoped. I had the Tama version in the early 90s and it's better than that. I have zero complaints.
Please let me know if you sell the Pdp set I’m looking for an Mx kit in that color. Thanks
Oh my goodness I remember seeing that senior picture with the Tama kit somewhere lol. Is that you? Nice kit ya got now, love PDP they are great kits.
That’s me. Are you in the My Drumset group on Facebook?
@@basementdrumlab yeah buddy! That had to be where I seen it .
Beautifully done video my dude. Interested to know how come you don't just keep the high hat stand to the right of your snare drum, (which is what I did)? I use the DW9000 remote to the left, with the pedal next to my single BD pedal, as my lesser used hats position. Do you feel more comfortable playing BD with your right leg? Interested in what you think are the advantages as I'm still / always experimenting.
I’m a right handed player. So my primary bass foot is my right which would normally put the HH on the left. On my last acoustic set that I sold in 2000, I did a remote HH and put it on the right of the snare. So it was a rights handed set as far as the tom arrangement goes but I tucked the HH in that space between the snare and the floor tom. I have my current electronic set in this arrangement too. It’s the way I’ve played since 1991 between the acoustic set I had back then and the electronic set I have now. So I’m hoping it will all work out with this set too. Just waiting on the drums to arrive.
@@basementdrumlab Cool. Thanks for responding and clarifying. I'm strongly right hand and right foot dominant too.
Four weeks ago, with the aim of improving my mainly open-handed playing, I changed to so-called left-handed set up (by moving SD to the right of BD and non-remote HH stand to the right of that).
Already my bass drumming has IMPROVED using my left leg instead of my right ! (It was formerly VERY active on the HH pedal which made this possible I guess.)
Hopefully right foot / right hand HH proficiency will get there too, with daily practice.
Anyway, all the best with your own endeavours and thanks again for responding!
@@pibroch I am still considering a left handed set up. Only I was thinking about putting the HH pedal on the left so I could still use my right foot as my primary bass foot. I would also put the ride cymbal on the right so it would be something like a backward Simon Phillips kind of thing. I just don’t know if I’m willing to adapt that much.
Love my 9000 stuff..how do you like the meinl dark cymbals?
I really like the Meinl Darks. I was a loooong time Zildjian fan but when I heard these, I made the switch. I’m still not completely happy with the ride. The bell just isn’t what I want and the profile just doesn’t cut through. The whole thing just feels a little subdued to me. I’m going to wait until I get the entire MLC kit put together before I change it out. I really wish Zildjian had come out with their dark series before I pulled the trigger on these. But from what I’ve heard of those, I think I still like these better.
The 22 Meinl byance dark ride sounds great to me. I'm gonna add it to my classic custom dark set and I think it'll fit right in.
@@butchcassidy3373 I was just looking at that earlier this week. Glad to hear that’s an option.
You would do yourself a hell of a favor if you studied the physics of percussion and learned how to set up drums. Those angles are what the marketing department does at JC Penney. Not trying to be a dick but it's pretty obvious that you've got a ways to go especially if you're spending that kind of money on hardware.
You're not doing a very good job of not trying to be a dick. (Not trying to be a dick )
What angles are we talking about? I don’t even have anything set up yet?
If you are talking about the picture of my old set, that was a 90’s thing that I wouldn’t do now. But, I will add that a lot of people that get bent out of shape about high tom angles don’t always consider the height of the person playing and the changes we have to make in order to truly set the drums up to our height. At 6’4”, most hardware won’t actually go high enough for a truly ergonomic set up. But when you get things high enough, the tom angles can be different. As well, when I moved the HH to the right of the snare on that set, it opened up all sorts of set-wide ergonomics opportunities since that relationship between the snare and the HH changed and I no longer had to leave room for my arms to cross over.
But to answer your assumed question, I’ve been playing for 40 years. I’ve been studying the physics and ergonomics of the layout of a set for most of that time.
I would offer a small nugget of wisdom gained from my many years on social media. When you jump in to the comments section, make sure you approach the person without your presumptions. If you don’t know a person, your presumptions can create an unnecessary volatility that you have already self-identified as “being a d__k” but chose to do anyway. We can do better in our encounters on social media. You obviously have some really great knowledge to share. But when you share it in the wrong way, you actually prevent people from benefiting from that knowledge.
