There’s something so calming about your vids, the music, editing, commentary, and tone just make your vids so unique. I can’t think of any music related TH-cam channels that I find as wholesome, I can straight up watch these vids for hours.
@@lofi_bonsai I know he makes his own beats and stuff, he’s talked about it when talking about his Distrokid sponsorship. So chances are the music is his own music.
Your tour videos are some of my favorites of yours. Going through every piece of drum gear you have would prolly be a pain; but it'd be rad to check out
I have one as well. Really great cymbal. Perfect cymbal for those who want a good washy crash but still have really good stick definition. So versatile
That ceiling mount thing is genius. It’s so stupidly simple I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Definitely saving this video for future reference for that!!
I’d love to see a tour of ALL your snares. If you’re like most drummers, you have more than people think you should, but less than you know you want.🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥
I don't know if you have a video, but eventually, I'll have a drum studio in my house, and I'm trying to learn some organization tips for like storing cables and all our weird little drum things and keeping the area decently clean. I love your videos!
Not a criticism by any means, I love your videos. This is just something to try out When your demoing a cymbal, hats, snare or even toms the use of the Herta & particularly the Herta Sweep are an excellent way to demonstrate of how the sound of the component integrates with the other parts of the kit in a crescendo.
The Saluda is really sweet! Loving that. The new set at the end looks like my old high school band room set. Ludwig with chrome over wood. Back in the day, they came with chrome dot heads. Wish they would come back with those. Looked great.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 03/07/2020 (07/03/20 - USA) Cara, seus vídeos me salvaram nesta quarentena. Não entendo tudo o que você fala, mas é muito bom ver você trabalhando e fazendo o que ama. Congrats!!!
I also bought the same kit, blue sparkle finish like this one on Craiglist without any logos. The seller said it was a “Reuther” stencil kit by Pearl. I googled it and it seems correct.
That crash sounds just amazing. Kinda reminds me of the vintage 16" Paiste black label 2002 that the wind orchestra I play in has. It even looks kinda similiar, it's just a tad flatter than yours.
Hi David. My name is Randy from Kansas City. Over the years I have picked up four of those drum kits. What I've enjoyed about them is they are the old Philippine mahogany. I was listening to your description but I wanted to ask, have you recut the bearing edges yet? Those particular shells love 830 degree or 45 degree inside cut while having a round over on the outside. It gives them a lot of punch and warm tone. Over the years I have taken Kitts like that and totally rebuilt them bye reworking the shells, hardware, and new wraps. Also, if you want a brighter crispr tone in the mahogany shells I have used water-based sanding sealer and put three coats on the inside and out after I cut the edges. That helps to again make the sound a little crisper and yet offers protection and a good sealed base when you would put on a good wrap. If you haven't done that yet, give it a try. You can find me on Brack Custom Drums on Facebook. Have a great weekend.
Those hats look and sound just like my 15” zildjian new beats. My dad bought them when I was a kid, and I inherited them. I find they mix a little better in the studio than live, but overall they’re great for pop and jazz sessions.
Thank you for finally making this, ive been hopping around videos from years ago and i’ve been wondering what kit you’ve settled on for now. Sounds great 🤟🏼
Can you do a studio tour in which you show us every kit you own at the moment. I‘m not that kind of tech gear head but I love to see others show their drums
The roadpro hardware is the frickin best man!!! I've had a tama roadpro snare stand for almost 20 years now, and it is still going strong!!! I use it for my 2 drum set snares and my marching snare. It is seriously the strongest snare stand on the market right now!!!
I had a Gretch catalina virgin kit and Yamaha Power V. Sold both for an electronic drum kit. BEST MOVE EVER. Acoustic kits are like trying to keep a dying patient alive. lol
I have that snare! It is my main as well! in case anyone is as bored as me heres my main setup: Pork Pie Hip Pig Kit Mahogany, Red/Gold Duco finish 22x14 kick - Powerstroke 3 coated / Smooth white reso 16x16 floor tom - Emperor Coated / Ambassador coated reso 13x9 rack tom - Emperor Coated / Ambassador coated reso Gibraltar/Yamaha hardware Rogers Powertone COB snare - Pinstripe coated / Ambassador clear reso Zildjian 21" Sweet ride traditional Paiste 19" Giant Beat thin crash Sabian 14" AA Regular hats
Going by my own preferences, these toms have the exact right sustain length, as opposed to some of your other kits where they sound a bit too long for my taste. And the very first new drumhead I had ever bought (now 40 years ago!) was also a coated CS for my old Sonor snare :-) Other than that I only had a Sonor bass drum (also 20") with a Pearl pedal, some 'Morris' hi-hats for 50 bucks and a pair of bongoes as rack toms; Best Christmas ever! :-))
I've always been a Remo guy but a few years ago the guy at Guitar Center recommended the Evans EMAD 360 bass drum batter head. My kick has never sounded better.
And you *bought* the cymbal(s)?? I had believed you were being sponsored by Meinl! x-)) My very first crash cymbal was also a Meinl, a cheap 16" Streamer, followed by a 16" Raker. And yup, I believe you're right and your Zildjians are New Beat hi-hats, too; A friend of mine owns a pair and they sound very similar.
I'd say my favorite piece of gear is the remo black x snare batter head. it reminds me of avenged sevenfold's the Rev's snare sound, which has been my favorite ever since i got into drumming.
Hey david, out of all the shell packs you have, what makes you keep coming back to this unknown blue sparkle kit? Especially for it being the kit tour? Also a tour of every shell pack in closet would be awesome!
Just noticed that you drive a Honda Fit. Great car. How many drums have you been able to fit (pun intended) in it? Maybe even a video showing how many you can squeeze in. For all us drum buyers.
So I'm on a budget and in need of a new BD pedal. Decided on the Tama Iron Cobra 600 series base drum pedal... Was this a big mistake? Please do a Hardware comparison video whenever you have a chance. There's just too many choices!
It's a "maxtone" drums from late 80s, early 90s... very popular at that time... other brands could be "turbo", "powersonic", same style lugs and sizes bass drum, toms, snare... Made in taiwan... Regards from brazil :D

Great video! But I've been wondering why do you use this cheap drumset instead of your more expensive drumsets like the tama. (Sorry for the bad English I'm french😂)
Whats your favorite piece of gear?
Hi hats
Also first
My drums 😂
Hi hats
I've gotta say the hi hats!
That rug really tied the room together.
And they peed on it
Obviously you're not a golfer.
Yeah because the rest of the room is hella boring.
And all along I thought it was the faceplate on the lightswitch on the wall that tied it all together🤔
RLB y is he not a golfer
You should build a "mega kit" out of all the drums, cymbals, and hardware you have. Also a "all of my drum kits" vid would be awesome as well!
Let’s see all your other kits!!!
Rdavidr closet tour 👀👀👀
I second that closet tour
There’s something so calming about your vids, the music, editing, commentary, and tone just make your vids so unique. I can’t think of any music related TH-cam channels that I find as wholesome, I can straight up watch these vids for hours.
Right!?! Any idea of the song used in this video?
@@lofi_bonsai I know he makes his own beats and stuff, he’s talked about it when talking about his Distrokid sponsorship. So chances are the music is his own music.
The way you have your overhead mics mounted to the ceiling is extremely clean and satisfying. Excellent job man.
Everything bro!!!👍especially the bass drum head 👊. Thx for the highlight 😃
Your tour videos are some of my favorites of yours. Going through every piece of drum gear you have would prolly be a pain; but it'd be rad to check out
Just got my early 60's Slingerland in blue/white satin flame 20/13/16
just did the cotton ball trick by the way, it truly works
I may be the only one here, but i would love me a workshop tour. Definitely came here for the creativity, and stayed for the chops.
I also have that sand ride, it is my absolute favorite ride cymbal ever made. Perfect for literally any genre of music, from jazz to death metal.
I have one as well. Really great cymbal. Perfect cymbal for those who want a good washy crash but still have really good stick definition. So versatile
your overhead/room mic setup is sick! inspiring and shows the attention to detail w/ your setup. Also, those dual hats sound killer.
That ceiling mount thing is genius. It’s so stupidly simple I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Definitely saving this video for future reference for that!!
In Australia that kit was sold as a Pearl Maxwin.
I’d love to see a tour of ALL your snares. If you’re like most drummers, you have more than people think you should, but less than you know you want.🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥
This is the most solid drumming I've seen from you yet, nice!
I don't know if you have a video, but eventually, I'll have a drum studio in my house, and I'm trying to learn some organization tips for like storing cables and all our weird little drum things and keeping the area decently clean. I love your videos!

Cara, seus vídeos me salvaram nesta quarentena. Não entendo tudo o que você fala, mas é muito bom ver você trabalhando e fazendo o que ama.
Congrats!!!

Do a full tour.
Weirdly I think the room mics solo’d sounds the best...
I don't think I've ever heard room mics that sound that good
It's a good sound but the stereo image is wack. The kick especially is way on the right
@Connor Pearson go to my channel on September 25
@Connor Pearson also your right the room mics Drumeo uses probably sound twice as good as those
That crash sounds just amazing. Kinda reminds me of the vintage 16" Paiste black label 2002 that the wind orchestra I play in has. It even looks kinda similiar, it's just a tad flatter than yours.
Thanks David for the video. Very nice to see what gear you use. I love your channel. No bs and down to earth. Cheers
I would like to see a workshop tour.
And we would love to see you back in action, Lance :)

A whole drum/studio tour would be great. I know you have done that but a revamped one would really be great!
I enjoyed your tour idea. I would like all of the tours, please. Thank you.
Dang, I got to it 12 minutes after it was posted! Looks absolutely awesome man!
Those hats look and sound just like my 15” zildjian new beats. My dad bought them when I was a kid, and I inherited them. I find they mix a little better in the studio than live, but overall they’re great for pop and jazz sessions.
I really like the set up. It's a really old school set up, which makes it look fantastic✌️...
Thank you for finally making this, ive been hopping around videos from years ago and i’ve been wondering what kit you’ve settled on for now. Sounds great 🤟🏼
Can you do a studio tour in which you show us every kit you own at the moment. I‘m not that kind of tech gear head but I love to see others show their drums
Set up all your kits side by side (lined up) and do a review of each. The ULTIMATE sound demo to see them all together and hear each one individually
I like the sound of the kit 👍 especially the snare 🤘
The roadpro hardware is the frickin best man!!! I've had a tama roadpro snare stand for almost 20 years now, and it is still going strong!!! I use it for my 2 drum set snares and my marching snare. It is seriously the strongest snare stand on the market right now!!!
room mics sound phenomenal, keep up the dope vids
I had a Gretch catalina virgin kit and Yamaha Power V. Sold both for an electronic drum kit. BEST MOVE EVER. Acoustic kits are like trying to keep a dying patient alive. lol
dude that floor tom sounds beautiful
I do love all of your videos. Great diversion. My favorites are the rebuild episodes. 'specially Modifacations. (Star Cymbal)
Loving the new studio bro
Amaaaazing! Definitely the rest of the Kit is aweeeeeesooome! I love that glitter thingy
Nice videos I love your channel man... keep up the awesome work
Man dude. Your kit sounds killer.
Love it! I'm a big fan of how you have your overhead mics!
I have that snare! It is my main as well!
in case anyone is as bored as me heres my main setup:
Pork Pie Hip Pig Kit
Mahogany, Red/Gold Duco finish
22x14 kick - Powerstroke 3 coated / Smooth white reso
16x16 floor tom - Emperor Coated / Ambassador coated reso
13x9 rack tom - Emperor Coated / Ambassador coated reso
Gibraltar/Yamaha hardware
Rogers Powertone COB snare - Pinstripe coated / Ambassador clear reso
Zildjian 21" Sweet ride traditional
Paiste 19" Giant Beat thin crash
Sabian 14" AA Regular hats
Saluda Cymbals. Good choice! The Diamond series is my favorite.
I'm addicted to those Freestyles!
That kit sounds really good
Dude ive been a drumkubes artist for a while and they are great man. nice kit tour
I got a pair of freestyles with a 5B pack since they were on special , it’s been love ever since 🤘🏽❤️🤘🏽
Men you should do a video about how you tune your drums, all sound amazing!
Going by my own preferences, these toms have the exact right sustain length, as opposed to some of your other kits where they sound a bit too long for my taste. And the very first new drumhead I had ever bought (now 40 years ago!) was also a coated CS for my old Sonor snare :-) Other than that I only had a Sonor bass drum (also 20") with a Pearl pedal, some 'Morris' hi-hats for 50 bucks and a pair of bongoes as rack toms; Best Christmas ever! :-))
A request for all the tours!
Yo david, you should try to make a cymbal in to a flower shape, i think it would look pretty cool
A workshop tour to see what tools you use for your modifications would be good
More vintage drum/MIJ videos love em
I think a big special would be could hour long tour of all the drum sets with some quick sound samples
You should try Masterwork cymbals! They sound like Zildjian K but half the price. I recommend Masterwork Troy or Masterwork Customs
Bruh. Yo room mics be sounding mighty good
That snare sounds dope af bro
We need a tour of all ur drums and cymbals!!! Also megakit?????? We need that megakit vid
I've always been a Remo guy but a few years ago the guy at Guitar Center recommended the Evans EMAD 360 bass drum batter head. My kick has never sounded better.
And you *bought* the cymbal(s)?? I had believed you were being sponsored by Meinl! x-)) My very first crash cymbal was also a Meinl, a cheap 16" Streamer, followed by a 16" Raker. And yup, I believe you're right and your Zildjians are New Beat hi-hats, too; A friend of mine owns a pair and they sound very similar.
I think it would be sic if you do a drum gear tour by brand or by era!
I'd say my favorite piece of gear is the remo black x snare batter head. it reminds me of avenged sevenfold's the Rev's snare sound, which has been my favorite ever since i got into drumming.
other kits tour would be great. so would an all your cymbals tour
Hey david, out of all the shell packs you have, what makes you keep coming back to this unknown blue sparkle kit? Especially for it being the kit tour?
Also a tour of every shell pack in closet would be awesome!
Hey nice Chicago feature on the Saluda part
you should try out the ludwig breakbeats by questlove, great compact kit
God damn that snare sounds butter! Though the snare wires sound a bit tight for my taste
I'd like to know about your overhead mic placement and how you determine the unphased "sweet spot". Also the same for your room mics. Thanks!
Sorry, new here! It´s Maxwin by Pearl i think. My first drum was Maxwin too.
Big fan of the nitro thrones. Just wish they tore down more beyond the folding legs.
Do a full gear tour of everything you have
Kit sounds great man
The vic firth metal sticks are essentially the 2b version of a freestyle
Just noticed that you drive a Honda Fit. Great car. How many drums have you been able to fit (pun intended) in it? Maybe even a video showing how many you can squeeze in. For all us drum buyers.
Black Crows while demoing your crash? "She talks to angels "
You're comical and informative,good job dude!!! 🍻 ✌ 😎
Thate set looks like a set I used to have they were called Paramount it was my first kit they sounded great for what they were.
So I'm on a budget and in need of a new BD pedal. Decided on the Tama Iron Cobra 600 series base drum pedal... Was this a big mistake? Please do a Hardware comparison video whenever you have a chance. There's just too many choices!
Them playing zones👌
It all sounds pretty killer
It's a "maxtone" drums from late 80s, early 90s... very popular at that time... other brands could be "turbo", "powersonic", same style lugs and sizes bass drum, toms, snare...
Made in taiwan...
Regards from brazil :D
I wouldn't mind a tour of like drum sets, workshop, room, and gear tours
I love Saluda’s cymbals!!!
That crash sounds amazing...👌🏻🙂
I have the same style kit in red. Had it since the early 80's and have never known what it is. Would love to find out
It's a "maxtone" drums from late 80s, early 90s... very popular at that time... other brands could be "turbo
", "powersonic", same style lugs and sizes bass drum, toms, snare...
Great video! But I've been wondering why do you use this cheap drumset instead of your more expensive drumsets like the tama. (Sorry for the bad English I'm french😂)
I use Vic Firth Freestyle sticks as well. Mine are 5A's.
The kit sounds amazing! I'm loving it 😁👍
Do a tour of all of your gear!
have you ever tried the vic firth metal sticks with that red tip? they are awesome
might have to check out the freestyle series
I had a snare drum with no bed as my first drum set when I was really young. I still find it hard to use it as a snare, not a high pitched tom.
Man that kick sounds sweet 👌
I am a certified rug distributor and can say confidently, that that is a rug.
ah, thank you. I was on the fence about that.
It looks like a tempro pro drum kit... made by pearl I think years and years ago. I have one, same color and look as the one on the video.
4:50 it's a Benny Greb signature cymbal :)
