Yep, he's a great drummer. He use to be the drummer for a band called spocks beard and I saw him in 2003 when he played for fates warning while they were touring with dream theater. He also was touring with tears for fears as their drummer.
I recently got this kit and it's absolutely phenomenal in all aspects. I was initially going to get a Performance kit from DW but due to some budget problems I wasn't able to. Of course, I was a bit disappointed, initially, BUT now that I have this kit set up (even with the stock heads) it is undeniably killer. And it's so killer that I don't even feel bad having to "settle" for a Design series over a Performance series kit. If you have an opportunity to get this kit or any of the Design series kits I definitely do recommend you get one
If Acrylic is good enough for Bonham then it's good enough for everyone and their grandmother. I have always loved the sound of acrylic kits. Defined and warmth with much less overtone. The problem with wood in drum shells is the rebound or echo in the shells which the acrylic absorbs...
These DEMOS are fantastic... I know the sound doesn't come thru as if you were live... BUT, you can definitely hear the differences between the setups in other VIDS. Mr Papagiorgio is a plain spoken likable presenter as well.
thinking about pulling the trigger and buying this kit rn, it's between these and SJC but I just love how these DW toms sound... and the fact that I could put some led's in these shells
Nah man not deep enough. 22×20 is the absolute perfect depth, You get a good amount of muffling, (especially with an aquarian classic reso and a aquarian supper kick 2 batter and a pillow resting up against the batter) And you get the best thumpy sound with the perfect amount of depth and body to it
@@TheTubeMeister Yeah, Pearl makes a decent amount of them, I own a discontinued version of the Vision Series, the SST version, and that bass drum is 22x20, if you can find one of those you’ll be solid, fantastic bass drum
Why does everyone say DW is expensive have you done your research and checked out the prices of a high-end pearl or Ludwig Or tama. They all cost the same for the flag ship design series cost about $1500.
Hey Nick, awesome playing! You have the best sound out of this kit on the Internet, bar none. Which Remo heads did you end up using? Looks like a power stroke 3 on the bass, coated ambassador on the snare, and clear ambassadors on the toms?
Just picked up one of those snares, and it has an awesome sound. I’d love to get my hands on the whole kit! But that requires lots of money I don’t have
might be my new set..not sure. i always liked the look of these drums. always played Pearl export series due to traveling on the road and not minding if they got knocked around..but now that i am a weekend warrior drummer again..this might be my set.
all acrylic drums are made by one company .. dw, pearl,crush,etc. only deffernce is the manufactures put there hardware on them. that is it..all set are equal..dont be miss lead ones better than the other..and they all sound great!!
Then how come there is videos of different companies molding their own acrylic shells, in their own facilities, all in different locations? Some are seamed, some aren't. What's up?
well... kinda. depends on the hoops that you use, like die cast vs. triple flange, some of the snare mechanisms, tom mounts, etc. but yeah they’re all pretty similar.
RCI is not the only company making acrylic shells... I can’t say for sure how many others there are out there, but there is for sure another company called Sterling that is also making acrylic shells for major drum companies.
They look & sound great as do all DW sets...My drummer has a set of DW's from the 80's that are freaking immense!! The clear acrylic is nice but remind me of the Jason Bonham set that DW made for the Led Zep reunion tour that was to imitate the Ludwig Vista Lights that John Bonham used...They were yellow,which i actually prefer over the clear so will other colors be an option in the future?? Jason Bonham has said that his set was a 1 off but that was several years ago..
+Daniel Granados Quirós I have seen a Sweetwater tunning video with another drummer. But what I want is a video where Nick D'Virgilio specifically shares how he tunes his drums so amazingly!
Christopher Jueschke yes it might be a good idea to do some exercise before playing drums to get warmed up. but i'm not sure he actually goes running beforehand per se'. are you actually requesting a video of him going over how he runs before playing his drums?? ...and whether he sprints or does long distance or?
@@Merrillizer I went ahead with the PDP 20th anniversary kit. I love it. The PDP is a rather darker sounding kit. I had read some reviews talking about the brightness of the acrylic kits. Personal preference of course. I also got some dark and dry cymbals from zildjian.
Hi +dillon b. We use a Rode NT4 Cardioid Condenser XY Stereo mic overhead, and a mic in front of the kick drum for low end. The kick drum mic varies by what we have available that day. Thanks for watching!
Hey, Carson. Yes, you can add a 7"x8" tom, 12"x14" and 16"x18" floor toms. Thanks for your interest. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1391, jason_thiele@sweetwater.com
Excellent review, eventually led to my purchase. What was your tuning method here? Anything beyond literally one complete key turn on these toms and my set tunes way high way fast for some reason.
Hi awesome Demo, just wondering what is the model/brand of the toms mount? I bought the DW CP9900 but was not satisfied with it. Yours is cooler LOL. please advice.
holy crap, these sound dope! i cant believe acrylic has such good sound! this will mix great with dubstep and electronic styles, i think i just switched from wood to acrylic drums from now on!
Either the mic configuration is different, or different heads or tuning maybe, but I do believe the Tama Mirage acrylic sounds better. Particularly the 10'' tom. JMO
Man I would kill for these! Probably gonna have to go with the Tama mirage though. Can get a seven piece mirage kit for less than the five piece DW kit.
Is it possible to get these in different colors and sizes? I would like a purple or red in sizes 12x9tom, 14x14floor, 16x16floor, 24x18bass and maybe a 14x6.5 snare. Is this possible and if so how much more would it cost? Thankyou

Mark Benzaquen yup I got the dw kit no lie it's a bit more expensive than the pearl but overall just went with dw since they make amazing drums and it's my preference :) amazing drumset
Are they heavy like ludwigs? They sound super toned and sing. But I’ve had a Ludwig for about 2 months on tour that we’re Acrylic and damn they are heavy. I mean heavy for drums. That needed squared away. Lol
Matthew Vlossak I do believe you are correct. all I know is lugging around my acrylic 5 pc Ludwig for a couple years of touring got brutal after so long I stopped using the kit.
@@sickdrummer3831 I used to have acrylics too. Totally agree with you. I switched to maple and haven't looked back since. Also, I prefer the sound of maple to acrylics.
Hi Apache Cai! I put a very lightweight pillow in the drum. I remember using that because it just barely touched the front and back heads. Just enough to do what I wanted it to. The Evans EQ drum pillows do the a great job at this as well. Hope that helps. Take care, Nick
Constructive comment here: I'd find it more helpful to hear at least a minute of a simple 4/4 rock beat and straight 8th note fills at relatively slow tempo. If you'd allow for more space in between the notes, I'd be more confident that I was getting a good sample of how the drums sound. It's tough enough to know how these things sound, given the room, tuning, mixing etc, so anything will help. Thanks
Hi +Elías Limón! It depends a lot on your personal taste. Give us a call at 800-222-4700 so we can make some recommendations based on your needs. Thanks!
I can understand why one might compare any acrylic kit with Ludwig's Vistallite just because of heritage and familiarity. But these new acrylics are nothing like those, not in how they're made or mounted, and definitely not in sound. Big, big differences, and I think it's great.
+Robert Cole Yea this is a nice set for sure. For now i'll settle for my Pearl Forums (cheap i know). I've got more money tied up in 2 cymbals than the drums cost.
+Robert Cole A music store in my area has a Pearl Crystal Beat set for sale i might look into later if they still have them. The guy told me they've had em for years. Guess there's not too much interest in acrylic but i've always wanted a set. I'll let em set for a little while longer and then make an offer and they'll probably let me take em just to get em out of their way.
+Robert Cole I noticed an acrylic floor tom (fairly new looking) on ebay that had cracks around the leg mounts. I wonder if that's a common problem with acrylics. Something to think about. The could've tightened the mount too tight and caused it.
Apart from price, Pearl Crystal Beat vs this ? i'm torn between the two, the kick seems to sound a bit better on this one. Anybody played both ? +SweetwaterSound thanks !
Keep in mind that the Pearl set doesnt come with the matching snare. After u add a snare you are almost even with the "better" DW set. Plus you gotta get tom stands regardless of which ever set u get. after you add all of that, youre looking at around $2,000 not counting symbals. Figure $450 for the Zildjian "S" box combo pack wich in my opion is a very good value, then you've spent $2,500. Now that u realize a $1,000 set will actually cost 2-1/2 times that it's rather depressing.

+Blaze Infernus If the Tama set you played sounds better than the other set, isn't it most likely due to the heads being diff or tuned diff? How can one acrylic shell sound better than another? They're both acrylic. Please clarify.
I hope other companies take notice... It´s CRUCIAL that the testing is done by pro hands, like Nick´s... I´ve seen 5k kits played by amateur hands and guess what? They sound meh... Congrats, Sweetwater. Hint to Gretsch: change the "teacher" that showcase your drums in this channel...
great drums aside. ... this guy is very descriptive and Clear about hat he's explaining about these drums. and he's an amazing drummer.

Nice demo, your playing accentuated the positive. Obviously aesthetically unique, their tone shone thru as well. Thanks, Sweetwater.
They remind me of the drums you hear from a college band on the football field. I love it
easily best drum test video, awesome playing and drums sound like PERFECTION
Great review. I haven't seen any reviews by clear water before but I'm going to start watching more.
Nick: Love the way you transition around the Toms into the snare & hi-hat beat. I wish you could break it down into a teaching moment!
These DEMOS are fantastic... I know the sound doesn't come thru as if you were live... BUT, you can definitely hear the differences between the setups in other VIDS.
Mr Papagiorgio is a plain spoken likable presenter as well.
Those flam fills on the outro were killer.

The snare, and cymbals sound amazing! If I'm laying out the bread for DW drums, they're not going to be made of fiberglass tho
For me, the reason why DWs are so expensive is because of their chunky sound. I love the way they sound, probably better than most drum kits I know.

Is that right? Learn something new every day. So even the cheapest out there, same shells different hardware and badge. Cool to know.

Stock head on the kick? Single ply with overtone ring?
Looks like a pillow.
Use to put pillows in them way back in the 60s. Makes for a better sound.

DW need start making shell packs with 10x7 and 12x8. Not a fan of 12x9. That's what's keeping me from getting them
Does it come with the cymbals 🤨🧐
how did you tune those drums i just get theme and sound so good i am trying to get that sound
Did u achieve the sound you were looking for in your drumset?

did any of you see the HVLT shell construction logo on the bass reso head even though acrylic does not have grain to it
I wish the front of the kick drum was clear as well.

DW makes great products. Always better to hear them in person for the money spent. Nothing against any salesmen especially this one.
I hate the snare but I LOVE the drums though
What type of snare would you go with?
Someone wants us to buy this kit 😅
To be honest, I love SJC's acrylic kits, mainly because of the custom sizes. I don't like two rack toms, nor the small sizes.
Why the bass head is not clear is beyond me.
Why is dw louder than pearl
It would have been nice to hear the bass drum without the giant blanket inside.
cool
Toms seem to bounce around a lot.
