It sounds like sex!!! If anything, I wouldn't muffle the toms. They sound huge wide open!!! Just from putting the heads on and setting it up, it sounds amazing!!!
Love it mate, love it. I know that happy feeling and I ain't a drummer. I play guitar but when I build my monster PC or got my dream guitar (Ibanex destroyed 2 1983 model one piece of wood, yea the whole guitar in one piece of wood) 😳🤮👹💪🤘 I was this happy. Enjoy brother.
Really awesome! What about putting the hi-hat directly in the center above the toms? I could imagine it's much better to reach that way. I think Danny Carey has a similar setup.
I totally agree and he is an amazing drummer and Also has an amazing set of humor and I wonder how much TH-cam money That he makes from his. Did he have to spend on this amazing set up?
You're reminding me of my teenage years staring at a pearl drum hardware leaflet trying to imagine how all the pieces fit together, combined with using the old "build your own masterworks" online tool and coming up with an $8000 kit configuration. Happy for you, combined with heavy jealousy XD
I don’t even play drums but this video makes me incredibly happy, nothing better than putting something epic together and this is about as epic as it gets!
One of the most beautiful kits I've seen, I love that black finish on those drums, and you custom bass drum skins looks amazing. If I could sit behind that kit for 30 minutes and play a few songs I think I'd be in heaven.
Clamps are such a blessing!! I remember when I was playing in my friends band, I bought about 6 clamps attached to 2 cymbal stands and that held my 2 Toms, and a additional 4 cymbals. Easy to take down during practices and gigs
I would have just sent you a DM but either TH-cam took away that feature at some point or I’m just too stupid to find where they moved it to. Any way you could put me in touch with this guy? Just bought a big new double bass kit like this, have an existing Icon rack and trying to figure out the best way to expand/reconfigure it to accommodate my new setup. Not liking what I’m coming up with myself, maybe he could help me come up with something better.
From "This song is called Rock" all the way to this masterpiece. You have achieved so much!!! You have always been an inspiration for me but holy FAWK!!! This kit is in-fucking-credible!!!!!
Being a hormonal teenager whose obsessed with drums doesnt help my case cause this kit is an absolute masterpiece i would love to have a duplicate of this kit myself. Great work!❤

Hi I am new here Musician from Greece I play three instruments and drums I learned you by a friend you are my favorite musician TH-camr good content continue the good job
finally for 2 month's straight you have decided to set up the new pearl drum kit since yesterday i was impatient for 2 months it's already here for the first time of my life.
I remember when I decided to go with a massive Gibraltar rack system. The rack itself only cost about 700 bucks. All the clamps and other shit was like 2500 bucks lol. I do like the square tubing of a Pearl rack though.
Words can't describe how you're feeling but man does it look like you're livin' the dream brother. What a sick kit, skills to match it. I look forward to more videos to come.
I think I see the practicality of Danny Carey putting his hi-hat in front of him with such a setup. Until you want to play some 80's music with 8th notes on the Hi-hat. Or just drop the Hi-Hat like Keith Moon? That is one crazy setup. And yes it does look cool. And I guess that's the most important. After sounding good that is. lol (and definitely Subscribed! Hope you hit that 1 Million Subscriber pinnacle!)
Man, awesome kit! love watching the build videos. Just saving up for my first kit. and gather a lot of info. and vision from your content! Just the hardware is pricey!!! Thanks for it all
I saw a post on reddit this morning with this kit (didn't realize you had a reddit account). I go to work, come home, get on youtube, and this is in my recommended. The algorithm is putting in serious work for you my dude.
I just looked up the Pearl rack thingymagis (I prefer my toms on the 2 kick drums and cymbals on separate stands) and im so shocked. That rack alone (without drums or cymbals) costs more than my whole DW setup. Amazing drum kit and the finish is second to none.
I paused and came down to comment, so if I look stupid that's why. I got an idea for the wobbly snare. Just double up the clamps, on that rack bar. Put one on both sides. Should stiffin it right up.... to par with me looking at that finish lolol
fan from Mexico here great setup love the vids and reactions recently watched your drumeo you nailed that in my ears , for never hearing that song you sir are one of my fav perc.. Keep it up have a great one
Such a beautiful set-up and then you played it like you've owned it for ever. I love the rolls through the toms - could you do a tutorial video for beginners like me??
Lovely kit. I wish my ICON rack was this flexible! If you're going to leave the rocket toms on the same plane as the rest of the rack toms (and you most definitely should), might I suggest moving the remote hats into more of a central location (perhaps between the splashes)? That would prevent you from hyper-extending your arm whilst crossing over. I don't do a lot of two-handed hi hat playing, so that works for me. YMMV.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but for the snare you can use a short rack bar and another RJ100 for the snare basket. That should make it way more sturdy when connected to the rack. Fantastic build!!!
Real drums!!! Hell yeah! You sold me on the icon rack years ago and I really do love it. 🤘it’s best in the industry for sure. Pearl hardware is just hands down really good.
Samus your new kit is the nicest kit I've seen by far love the finish love the sound and you didnt tune it at the first roll you did i got to say WOW bro good job to pearl!! Keep up the good content my dude!! Much love!🤘
Even on a single bass setup, I always love the setup on a double bass drum by having the rack toms (2 rack tom setup) placed right in front of the snare, even if it requires me to need a separate stand or attach a clamp to the crash cymbal's stand. That way I can position the ride cymbal lower (around the same height as the middle portion of the rack tom) and closer towards me (almost halfway above the bass drum). Stage-wise, I feel like it's better that way because I can position myself towards the audience instead of being slightly angled to the left.
Wow, I would have killed for this set up 30 years ago when I was playing in a band. I actually did a custom (what I could afford) stand for my rototoms by dropping in to my local auto repair shop and having them bend muffler pipes to my specs. Worked great after some tweeking.
I'm still running my 3 sided Icon gen 1 rack. I use the Gibraltar cymbal stands with the memory locks off of the rack. All of my toms are mounted off of my rack as well.

22 out of 22 clamps!

Pearl seriously needs to Feature this setup on their Website.
That metropolis pt.1 was sweet!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that!
Was gonna comment this too but yeah it's already here. Listen nothing like the master of the "more is more" approach to break in a kit like this.
@@tharrock337 I fully agree! Just got a new kit few days ago and the second I set it up I played some DT and Tool :D
I totally agree and he is an amazing drummer and Also has an amazing set of humor and I wonder how much TH-cam money That he makes from his. Did he have to spend on this amazing set up?
I was like: this is cool! And then... WAIT!
It's so fucking gorgeous man. I'm so happy for you.
How tf did you comment before the video was posted 😭😭😭
17:03 this is genuine happiness
Good lord that GoPro audio is so crisp and natural it truly made the real sound of the drums shine (also nice Metropolis pt.1 drum part haha)
It's a frickin work of art.
Drum set for millionaires only
You're reminding me of my teenage years staring at a pearl drum hardware leaflet trying to imagine how all the pieces fit together, combined with using the old "build your own masterworks" online tool and coming up with an $8000 kit configuration.
Happy for you, combined with heavy jealousy XD
I've been checking the channel every day waiting for this
It was looking like a “hell yuh!” and feelin like a “hell yuh!”! Do you have a bell to put on that kit? It’s definitely a “hell yuh!”/10!
I have watched so many of these types of videos and i can honestly say your configuration/setup is the coolest ive seen.
Every time you said rack bar I heard Ackbar.
Behold. General RACKBAR!
ITS A BLAST BEAT
allahu rackbar
lock the rack bar! lock the rack bar
ITS A TRAP
WE CAN'T REPEL DRUMMING OF THAT MAGNITUDE!
I don’t even play drums but this video makes me incredibly happy, nothing better than putting something epic together and this is about as epic as it gets!
One of the most beautiful kits I've seen, I love that black finish on those drums, and you custom bass drum skins looks amazing. If I could sit behind that kit for 30 minutes and play a few songs I think I'd be in heaven.
Metropolis pt1 is truly the most appropriate song to test drive this behemoth of a drum set, well done sir!
DOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!! That was EEEEEPIC!! The joy of the newness was beaming from the screen!! Fantastic attention to ergonomics. It's a beast!
sic. Can't wait to see this kit in a future Drumeo video.
you've just made the pipi grow I am absolutely in love with this kit
How'd you do those emotions??
@@BigEBigshe bought a channel membership
@@PenguinMan-dr3iu Then he would be under the comments by members and he isnt
@@Kittyderp No that's not how it works look at his username.
@@KittyderpHe is, lmao
16:43 Your Portnoy is showing 🤘
Porntoy, actually
My dream 🎉that kit is beautiful bro
That is one fabulous and badass drum kit
what a monster, glad you‘re back on accoustic
Nice little Metropolis bit in there ohh yurrr!
Those sound incredible even on the GoPro.
Clamps are such a blessing!! I remember when I was playing in my friends band, I bought about 6 clamps attached to 2 cymbal stands and that held my 2 Toms, and a additional 4 cymbals. Easy to take down during practices and gigs
Kevin Packard at Pearl is a great guy, and comes up with some really unique rack designs.
I would have just sent you a DM but either TH-cam took away that feature at some point or I’m just too stupid to find where they moved it to. Any way you could put me in touch with this guy?

Sick!!!
Bitta Metropolis there at the end? ;)
that kit is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life
Being a hormonal teenager whose obsessed with drums doesnt help my case cause this kit is an absolute masterpiece i would love to have a duplicate of this kit myself. Great work!❤
We NEED that second ride cymbal on the left
I would love to see this guy play with Steve digorgio and mark morton
I absolutely Love the fact that your hi-hats and ride aren’t super close, as is the case with lazy drummers ❤
Truly one of the most non sensical and weirdly snobbish comments I've ever read. And I've read a lot of comments by flat earthers!

i've watched this three times and i can't stop

I learned you by a friend you are my favorite musician TH-camr good content continue the good job
Me as a guitarist don’t know why in the fuck I’m watching this but you’re always so engaging I can’t look away
finally for 2 month's straight you have decided to set up the new pearl drum kit since yesterday i was impatient for 2 months it's
already here for the first time of my life.
17:30 of me going “wow they have a clamp for everything”
When do we get to see more videos of this kit???!!!
can i have it?
Kit is sick bro! Snare sounds incredible!
Allah Rackbar!
I remember when I decided to go with a massive Gibraltar rack system. The rack itself only cost about 700 bucks. All the clamps and other shit was like 2500 bucks lol. I do like the square tubing of a Pearl rack though.
I'm just amazed by that setup. Damn dude that's badass.

This is my favorite video of yours in a long while. You always make me smile.
What a beautiful kit and set up. The angle on that rack is cool as hell. Love the finish on those pearls.
Just sick!!!!! Well done on the new kit!!!!!
I am so jealous of that set. You bastard
😂😂
It’s gorgeous! So beautiful!
10:08 have you thought of using the bells meinl has near your splash cymbals?
I paused and came down to comment, so if I look stupid that's why. I got an idea for the wobbly snare. Just double up the clamps, on that rack bar. Put one on both sides. Should stiffin it right up.... to par with me looking at that finish lolol
I wish pearl would make black rack bars an option. The matte aluminum reflects light too much and obstructs the kit.
Way cool setup, Samus!
I wonder if you could get them anodized.
@@c0wg0d that, or powdercoat it
Valió la pena la espera del video!!!! Felicidades por la adquisición
Too beautiful.
fan from Mexico here great setup love the vids and reactions recently watched your drumeo you nailed that in my ears , for never hearing that song you sir are one of my fav perc.. Keep it up have a great one
I truly dig you and what you do.
Good on you, brother
You could add a marching band snare in ur left there if it will fit (below octobongs) later on?
sick build - big bucks !!
Samus has the best drum setup on whole youtube and every platform right now.I am thinking to start play and samus is my idol.
Such a beautiful set-up and then you played it like you've owned it for ever. I love the rolls through the toms - could you do a tutorial video for beginners like me??

It’s my newest favourite set up
Freaking awesome kit and setup man, congrats!!!
i LOVE that you christened this by playing dream theater, truly goated.
finally you have your 10 inch rack tom back on to your drum set i am so happy to see it's on the drums again
I'm still running my 3 sided Icon gen 1 rack. I use the Gibraltar cymbal stands with the memory locks off of the rack. All of my toms are mounted off of my rack as well.
I dont even play drums but i love watching this
Me too😂
I love 66Samus content he is the soul reason I'm saving for a drum set to Rock my neighborhood and start my own band someday samus is a boredom saver
I like the simplicity of the original ICON rack, but there's no denying the new clamps allow for way more creativity.
