Today Stanley Randolph is going to give you a thorough rundown of the kit he uses when he performs with Stevie Wonder. He’ll cover everything from tom sizes, head and cymbal choices, tuning approach, and the overall vibe he aims for when preparing his pallet of sounds. He actually splits his whole kit into two setups, allowing his to capture both an old and new sound!

I love the idea of a left/right dual personality setup. And for some reason, I think there's something cool about playing the slave pedal with the right foot.
Never heard such a high level player be so transparent and enthusiastic about their gear!!! Thanks Stanley and Drumeo!!!
Stanley is becoming one of my favoutite drummers of all time!
At first I didn't realize that he actually has two sets in one. Pretty cool!
Love this guy, definitely one of the greatest out there right now.
love this idea, more drum set up videos please!!
Love the kit ,..cause I love cymbals that pssssssszzzzz...relieve is so therapeutic...love it.
Wow!! So many cymbals. This drum kit sounds very musical. Lots of different tones!
This is a pretty cool setup I like the tunings and a nice array of cymbals nice colors !!!
I liked the 16” high hat symbols. But specifically the fact that he don’t like he’s toms with the bottom head on. That gives the toms a “dry” sound and end with the harmonics the top head produce when you hit them. Awesome!
Zildjian K’s will have that old but new feeling because they’re a fantastic sounding cymbal that was the original cast cymbal produced by Zildjian in the 19th century in the 1920’s I believe around the Great Depression time. So I believe that’s why those line of cymbals are great at fitting into many genres of music and many styles of drum kits.
If you ever read this Stanley, you helped me really get into drumming and it has helped me a lot. I have a genetic connective tissue disease that really screws up my joints and back and pretty much my whole body and causes a lot of pain, but music helped me cope and then when I couldn’t do regular physical therapy I again turned to music.
Since strengthening my core and the muscles around my joints is really the only way to help them, basically because my collagen doesn’t work and therefore screwed up my tendons and ligaments, so I stopped normal PT and got just a practice snare pad and a few pairs of sticks (including metals lol) to figure out what works best for my weakened grip. Eventually I moved on to a better pad and then about 7-8 months after starting the pad is when I got my first kit. A Black Ice Pearl Maple Decade 5 piece. It was really a matter of luck, since I’m currently awaiting for my disability results, I don’t work and wasn’t able to do much in college so no degree yet and so I’m still dependent on my parents for essentials and since I no longer can drive, my mom drove me to the music store for sticks and there it was just hanging on the wall and on clearance, so we got the clearance deal plus floor model deal plus it had a few little knicks on it, so I was able to get a really good deal.
Then I really started to dive into the how to’s and history of drumming and music and you can’t really do that without passing by Mr. Stevie Wonder. I fell in love with his music immediately and started calling it “forever music” lol idk if I’m the only one who uses that term or not. But then I went a little deeper and kinda took apart some songs plus I was lucky there’s a few videos of you teaching on TH-cam, plus you yourself have a really good story that I sometimes quote to my parents when they want me to stop drumming for the day and I’ll tell them the story you told about getting up and then starting around 10 and then eat some lunch around 12-1 and then back on the kit basically till dinner. I also greatly admire the fact that you taught yourself to play both right and left handed at a young age, that and drum corps really seemed to have left you with just about equal dexterity and ability etc. in both hands instead of having that lagging left hand many complain of and I think that’s where you get some of that articulation on your drum fills that people tend to ask you about and the only answer you really had about it was to kinda loosen up the stick a bit more at certain times to maybe get a double on your last hit or maybe throw in a diddle instead of straight 16th notes.
This is getting lengthy now lol, but anyway, Stanley, you’re the fcukin man when you sit on your throne. You have incredible technique, you can move around everywhere very well, you’re very good at keeping the beat when dropping a stick lol, and last but certainly not least you’re more skilled than Aaron Spears despite all the hype. You just simply have better technique and when you fly around the drums it’s extremely clean even when it’s almost like a dirty sound if that doesn’t complicate things too much. But I’m not a hater against Aaron, I just prefer your style and technique and skills over his and all 3 of us are big dudes that play drums and like to really work it around the kit. I just wish I could afford your cymbal setup man, my gosh.
But yeah, if by any chance someone at drumeo actually reads this or Mr. Randolph does, I am legitimately disabled and fight everyday just to do normal things like going downstairs, so I’m asking that if someone close enough maybe just let Stanley know he’s got a huge fan and any advice or just words of wisdom or anything from drumeo also in that same kinda idea would be amazing. Like I wish I could be an edge member, but I literally have no money to my name and finally convinced my mom to replace my kick’s batter head after I’ve had this kit with the stick bass heads for over a year already. Just stuck the EMAD on it yesterday and now I could finally take the giant pillow out.
So thank you for the inspiration and escape, if nothing else should come of this, Drumeo and the guys there like Jared and Dave and drummers like Stanley and Todd Sucherman and Gene Krupa and Keith Moon and many more have already helped me beyond belief without me having to pay them. Also other TH-cam channels like 80/20, Stephen Taylor, obv Drumeo, DBO, rdavidr and I’m sure there’s others I just can’t remember currently.
So THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!! (Imagine Stevie’s Happy Birthday starts playing after I say that lmao)
You're great Stanley
Very cool and creative setup!
Excellent kit rundown, complete with piece demos and multi piece jams.
That left side! That'll really get your brain going leading your fills in that direction. I gotta try it out.
I love the 15" A New Beat too. Not owning them but played once.
Crisp but not piercing.
I have just got back into drumming after 50 years and finally I hear somebody that can play rhythms as it suppose to be played . Pure funk. These modern day cats are hurting my ears who are trying to play drums as a lead instrument where they think every song is a solo with a million licks. I am learning to tune these modern heads. I had lamb skin heads where you actually had to wet them down to make them stretch. That makes me old school from way back when I guess.
So this dude is playing two drum sets at the same time? Awesome.
A total beast drummer!!
Thanks for this drum tour. Will you please do these with all of you drummers.
I had the privilege of watching Stanley play with Stevie on the "Songs In The Key Of Life Tour." I still can't believe I got to see the one and only Stevie Wonder in concert!! Stanley wasn't the only drummer, but I guess you could say he was the "main" drummer. There was another guy playing a kit and there were two percussionists. The 2nd drummer might have been Gerry Brown. I can't remember. Great show!
drewper73 the other drummer was probably Chris Johnson. Gerry left stevie in 2004
drewper73 it was lil john Roberts
Oh, how I wish a simple peasant like me could afford Zildjian Ks.
Luke Covey Naaah,, There’s lots of great cymbals out there,, Not just K’s and don’t buy the Jive of not mixing different brands,, that’s marketing HYPE-- I have like 5 different brands in my set up and they sound fantastic together-- I do admit that higher end cymbals of any brand generally sound better than the cheaper lines---
Zzounds payment plans!
You prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last few months xD
@Cash Cristiano yup, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
Loved his full lesson. Btw, how is that George Kollias lesson coming together? Is it something we can expect to see soon? And are there any other "extreme metal" drummers on the horizon?
Nice use of of that l80 cymbal as a stack. I have a set of those for practice but never thought the pros would use it on tour like that!!
This cat is smooth. Sweet chops. looks at home behind his kit and puts off a good vibe.
More of these!!
Drumeo you are the bests! Huge thanks for all the lessons! Next time maybe you could invite Mike Mitchell to do a lesson. He is crazy!
You forgot to mention you gotta have the hat too, it is part of the kit
Beerus, the Destructor idk man, I think the sunglasses indoors is the real MVP of that setup
Euphoria I'm 90% sure Stevie Wonder is not the guy in the video
Euphoria not sure if sarcasm, or legit mistake... Either way it's all good bro
Lucas Nakata wonder if thats part of the Zildijan K line aswell
LOVE the kit and man he sounds good!
those drums sound KICKAZZ!!!!!
More of this type of video pls !!!
Hey! Please a full detalied list of those cymballs? Thanks!
Stanley, thanks for being on drumro it was great seeing you on the kit you're grooves is nice. How do you fix and tune your kick to make it fit the drums. I'm having trouble putting my kick to fit how I play this drum I have and I'm still learning, to be honest it's not going well practicing.
Could you guys possibly get john dolmayan on here?
creative genius
mann i love that side kit
love your sound independence. kind of what i do but with less peaces. that set is hugh.
Great set up!
I love the snare DRM dude!!!! What drumset is that? Is it DW or sonor?
Stanley Plays DW ONLY!
YOU ARE AN AWESOME PERCUSSIONIST/ DRUMMER. OMG. YOU PLAY THE $HIT OUT OF THE DRUMS AND DO IT SO WELL
jucy sound amazing!!!
He's got TWO drum sets in 1!!
What was the K crash and size between the hi hats and the rest of the cymbals and sizes? Kit sounded incredible!
Your awesome man!
wow amazing!
Do you have the second hi hat on a remote set up?
RisenBeat It could be the Remote Speedy Hat but I don‘t get a clear view at it.
this guy is sick!
Is that a Zildijan on your head?
Awesome! Thanks for sharing :-)
I’d like to know why he does not use the 8”
The only way you’re going to have your drums and cymbals sound as great as Stanley’s , is if you have a great sound engineer following you everywhere you go!
Not necessarily mate I think my drums sound just as cool because I have learnt how to tune them perfectly for my taste and I own a tunebot! Lol. Anyone can buy there own sound engineer for 100 bucks or so. As for the cymbals I own Bosporus all over my kit and then its up to me as to how good my playing is. The great drummers sound good because of the way they play, yes of course the gear helps but there's nothing magic that they have just TALENT!
I like this guy
Why dont you get Stevie here?
Yeah boiiiiiiii
That drum throne's bought to go
bravissimo Batterista molto bravo mi piace
That bass drum 👀👀
But he haven’t said what’s this second crash he is using his left part kit which I believe it’s a k dark crash .... but not more info about it damn ((( ??
What kind of snare drums he uses?
Can someone please tell me what the cymbal that he is pointing at at 5:46 is?
I think it is this one: Zildjian 20" K-Series Dark Crash Thin
What size is that K dark crash in the middle? What's the splash above the kick? Do you undermic the toms on the left of the kit? Thanks!
Outstanding Stanley! You're a good man.........
🔥🔥🔥
3:23
5:59
someone got me to switch from remo to evans but i dont think i can ever swap my sabian cymbals for zildjian
no in 2008
What snare is he playing on " his left" ?
5:42 How was your bass drum playing itself?
He has a double pedal on that kick drum and he's playing the pedal that would typically be played with his left foot with his right foot instead.
Stanley Randolph is a young Bernard Purdie subject to Moore's Law.
me want dat kit
must be from the caribbean
Does anyone know what the white dots are on the concert toms? Sound amazing!
kick drum patches plus he took off the bottom head
All those beautiful zildjian cymbals and those fantastic drums (drum porn)
may you please give me your perl drum kit when you were with Steve wonder in spin 2010
Cool
song at the beginning please!!
What size drum sticks r those !
Best drummer. Doeant suprise me because i know stevie wont just put a random cat behind him.
know what i'm saying, know what i 'm saying
I thought this is the Drumeo house drum kit. .......?
It is. He just used it in this video
Well it's not actually Stevie Wonder's setup
where can we get the Drumeo stick bags?
Flat Zildjian cymbals? Kill me.
I think MJs drummer needs to take some ques from dis Nigga cause he has ideas.
