  • I love the invisible cymbal I really want want one.

  • is this a DW edge brass snare in this video?

  • @wasteoidzombie no it's just a collectors maple.

  • too much wrist all the time!.... wristy fills are grooves are cool but I have been waiting to hear you put you're whole arm and back into a stroke. if you are serious about someone helping you with technique I will be real nice about it and help you out.

  • its his drum set, remember that. just because its not your preference of tuning, size, or brand doesent mean its no good. i dont like DW, and i dont like haveing my drum set up that small, but if he likes the way it sounds and he can still have fun with it, then i say let him do his thing.

  • Fucking love that DW bass man, so punchy for a 24", might just be the recording, but lush anyway.

  • Extended rare footage can only be rare if someone is seeking it out. IMO.

  • dont let your pinky come out of your hand, and allow yourself you play bigger, move your arms. play deliberately

  • from the videos of yours I've seen you seem to be a very talented drummer, especially self taught. you dont seem to fall back on the same thing a lot which is what I tend to do being self taught as well. keep it up!

  • thank you.

  • Ive been watching your videos. you are a good drummer. I think if you smoothed out your doubles you;d kill it more. rllr repeat is great for that. Any chance that moonglow kit for sale?

  • thanks for the kind words. as am totally self taught and prob have a lot of bad habits i have always wanted someone to analyse my playing and say what needs to be done to hone it a bit, so thanks for that i'll give it a go... yep the gretsch is defo my fave of them all but would be willing to sell for the right price...

  • im nawt liking the floor tom, but I would still kill for that set ;)

  • sick grooves man

  • damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nice bass!

  • wat the hell

  • Why are a bunch of people ragging on the tuning?

    Do they even know how to put a Tom into "E" ?

    I think not shut the F up let the man play!

    Bang on brother, bang on, I rock a 3 piece too !

    I voted 5*s 1min in to the video. Nice job mate.

  • Finally drums that sound like, well, drums! I hate when people put their laundry in the bass drum and make smilies out of moongels on their toms.

    I like my drums wide open too. In fact, I use coated G1's on both sides of my bass drum. No port, nothing inside. It sounds like thunder and is heard clearly when playing unmiked with my rock band. I don't want my drums to sound like the cardboard boxes they came in.

  • bang on ! good to hear, most people who make comments seem to only want to emulate everyone else with beach ball bubble gum drum sounds with no concept of 'other' real tunings...

  • same i dnt put anythin in my bass

  • @Patate2112 The reason why drummers usually have portholes is because if they are in a band that is doing gigs and is a big venue they need the drums to be miced and putting a mic up against a skin with no port hole sounds crap... I think people need to understand the science of how putting padding in the bassdrum alternates the sound because I've seen people who just pack their bassdrum... and I've only got one pillow in there just to give it a good thud but also give it some room to breathe

  • Oh man. I Comment this video forever ago and said you tuned your kit like shit. Im Coming bacak now. Looks like im not the only one who thinks that eh? almost every comment ive seen so far is agreeing with me. And you must have a big ass ego i mean "All round super stud Edward Day displays his abilities in this extended rare footage?" wow..

  • Oh man. what a bender.. you gotta lay of those naked men videos. wow..

  • I like it. Virtuosic, but not in the stupid "throw in everything I can as fast as humanly possible" sense that many drummers go for. "Solid" is how I'd describe it, and that's what a drummer is supposed to be, isn't it?

  • good man. nice to see someone who gets it... rather than "o dude 1 tom, o dude they dont sound like my super damped toneless drums, they must be bad.."

  • the bass is alright, the snare sounds dreadful.

  • This drums sounds like a crap...........you tune very well!!!!

  • learn how to tune dude...

  • I think they sound pretty good. floor tom is a little iffy though.

  • Could be a little bigger? got some more stuffs to chose then ...

  • COOL SET MAN

  • i hate it when people don't have a clue.

  • is that a zildijian K series hihat?

  • its a sabian aax

  • 13 inch fusion hats?

  • yep

  • good shit man. got the same. and i dont know what those tards are talking about. obviously these drums sound amazing. the kick drum is really nice

  • please for the sake of every living hearing thing on planet tune those god damm drums, nice grooving though!

  • hi hat sounds great

  • "a random block thing"

    time for you to go back to ur clarinet.

    either that or learn a new fill.

    preferably one that doesn't include you shitting on urself.

  • time for you to get over the fact steve gadd sucks balls, dont cry now...

  • hey now, I know you are kidding but saying steve gadd sucks balls seems a little off the topic and even if you really do think that...he's record on more records than all the people commenting on this will ever record in their lives combined.

    on a side note about the playing, solid grooves and I dig the bass/snare/floor tom set up...that's what I've been practicing with lately too. Don't take this the wrong way but maybe try tuning the floor tom a little lower for that perfect, low tom sound;)

  • @playswithpassion - I agree. I hate it when people bash Gadd. Those people should start by buying Steely Dan's Asia album. Steve can play any style of music and his groove is second to none. Little do they probably know that a lot of drummers borrowed grooves and fills from Steve. Even Neil Peart took a couple fills for the Test for Echo album. And Gadd is one of the top sought after studio drummers of all time.

  • @theburyboys well, if people want me to be completely honest I will just say it: if you are a drummer who thinks steve gadd sucks and you produce this kind of shit (especially), you need to fucking check yourself cuz he owns the fuck out of you XD

  • dude for dw that sounds terrible. the snare has to much ring and the toms just sound plain bad/ wierd. learn to tune.

  • dude, learn to get some taste...

  • whatever, we play different genres so. but still just not what id consider good especially for a brand like dw.

  • and your opinion sure counts...

  • and i sure as hell wouldnt trust yours on anything drum related...

  • well you are coming from a wealth of experience and clearly own some quality stuff, you really know what your talking about there. you would be off acquiring some knowledge, then slating people, at least then it would have some grounding.. other wise you just come across as an idiot.. think before you insult..

  • Is that a LP jam block? high pitch?

    thankyou

    excellent drumming by the way !

  • yep its the high pitched one. thanks

  • DW's are great, I don't have any problem with them, but I'm a Truth/Shine/Chicago Custom Percussion (Look them up on myspace. They make amazing custom kits for a ridiculously reasonable price.) guy. Like, I'm more about the crazy sizes, really unique looks, and those three companies (CCP in particular) just fit my personality/playing style.

  • id go insaine trying to play on that kit...seriously..i feel soooo restricted on a basic set...

  • I would recommend you reducing your kit to 2 or 3 toms for like a month or so, try practicing with a smaller kit your technique and your feel for the groove greatly increases cos you have to think more imaginatively on reduced kits.

  • i don't like the tuning of the floor tom...but good drumming and wonderful snare =D

  • rotten plums are funky. like that badass drumset

  • More people should use big kicks. Good stuff.

    Just an fyi:

    Shouldn't wear such a sheer white shirt over a grey undershirt.

  • thanks for the grey undershirt comment, not the 1st to say either ! force of bad habit ....

  • hey man how much did that kit cost yah? thanks... i'm planning to buy mine on august that is

  • £1000 for just the bass and 2 toms.

  • how do you tune your snare

  • bottom med to med high. top skin med tension

  • How big is that bass drum??

  • 24"x18"

  • huge

  • Is that your bass? if that is mine is bigger! lol, I like your set up too! I set mine up very close to that I like it simple

  • Good job, man!

  • lol i dunno if its just the camera angle but that bass looks HUGE compared to the rest of the kit. nice playing

  • i don't like sound(maybe just sound of record), but configuration of your set looks cool ))

    And K ride with his jazzy soung is awesome ...

  • do you own all these drums?? wow

  • yep there all mine !

  • dude i wouldn't be able to sound as nice as you do with 10 toms 20 cymbals and a double kick

    props!

  • cheers dude !

  • Nice drums!!

  • The video descriptions are hilarious.

  • Dude your badass at drums!!!

  • do u play gigs with that kit? if so, u must have the best cases cuz i wouldnt want to ruin a kit like that!

  • dang that bass drum is awesome, what finish is your kit? and also how much did it cost you for those 3 drums?

  • thanks its a tobacco burst satin oil finish, the three drums cost me about a £1k.

  • Cheers, is that really how much it cost? I thought it would cost more. Do you know how much that kit would cost with an exotic finish and die-cast hoops? I'm thinking about getting a DW Collectors' Series Maple Candy Black Fade over Oak Cluster sizes 24x18, 10x7, 14x12 and 16x14, with a 14x7 snare, with die-cast hoops on toms and snare, x shell rack tom. That would probably cost loads though.

    And nice cymbals, I'm a Zildjian fanboy.

  • yeah only cost a grand i got them second hand of ebay in near new condition. anything involving their exotic finshes aint gonna be cheap i would roughly estimate £4k-£6k. yeah i like 24" bass with 10" toms too they go well...

  • About how much is that in US dollars?

  • actually, he's pretty tight. I don't think you understand what you're listening to.

  • Yep, that was a nice groove.

  • ew why?

  • ya he's good, looks as though he's sloppy but it's all ears. it's about the space between

  • tat drm set sound good bro wat drum head in the bass drum??is it the evans emad??or which one

  • thanks it is a dw single ply batter head..

  • Very simple set up, nice

  • Check this.. is the same snare?! U`ve recive the las msg?! I need a link where I can find to buy. Thanks very much man!

  • What snare is this? :) Sound cool!

  • its a dw collectors 14x5.5 maple snare

  • dude how do u get that dry and punchy sound with your bass drum skins so tight? I can only get a really resonant terrible sound when i tune them like that

  • hi, well that drum and size all i really do is take the batter skin up high, about 3 - 4 full turns per lug, get it all nice and even, then take the front skin ever so slightly higher. i use no muffling at all and no holes in the front head. use a dw hard beater, but with no falam patch or anything on the head, then just tweeks from lug to lug to get it even... hope that helps...

  • thanks man it really helped, now I got the sound I wanted, it took me like 2 hours cause I'm not really good at tuning. really nice vid and hats, thanks again man!

  • "and a random block thing"

    Lol

    Nice drummin' man!

    cheers

  • Import the video into Windows movie maker, the publish it and upload.

  • almost twenty thousand hits!!!

  • yep she's nearly there !

  • i love pearl and DW!!!!!

  • yuck i hate pearl...

    DW are great though just a little bit pricey!

    I love Sonor, Tama and Gretsch Kits....

  • Hows naive can kids be!!! ha ha .. DW is the best manufactured drum kit on this here planet we live on.. haha as for anyone who wants to debate can keep askin for milk at bars!

  • 'reverb' what are you talking about ?!? the amount of reverb is due to the room your in.. yes those drums are for pros, but all peaked in the 60's ! regards other manufacturers you just come across as ignorant !

  • Ayotte is not for losers!!! Ayotte is a great drums as well as Yamaha!!!

    You just dont appreciate the distinct sound of each drums!

  • The word you are looking for is resonance.

    And a drum's resonance depends on the setup and the heads.

    Just for the record, the drums of today are better than the ones made in the 60s.

  • also counts width depth and the room your in, a begginers set now is better than a pro set then.

  • i agree about the ddrum part... but you do not know what you are talking about. drums in the 60s sounded good in the sixties. not anymore. and pearl is for losers???

  • Awesome sound!

  • These very drums are now available to buy on ebay !

    Check out:

    Item number: 180238535670

  • hell yea...i like your style...cool kit too. 24 inch bass drum? it sounds great....gotta love the DWs too

  • a brasket manganet!

  • Yo guy. The dry complex ride...is it medium thin or thin?

  • The dry complex ride is a thin. thanks

  • Cool thanks.  Awesome sound! Great playing

  • please tell me what hi hats those are.

    they are beutiful

  • they are a pair of sabian 13" aa fusion hi hats mid 90's and do sound super tight !

  • England! wow!, well men, congratulations for your performance and thank you, its a very good! cooperation... thank you again!

  • Ey good!, what is te size of the bass drum?

  • 24"x18"

  • Ey thank for your answer, I´m living at Venezuela, and I wanna know how many cost a bass drum of the same size like yours, a single bass drums, without toms, if you can to reply again I´ll be really thank you, because buy DW here is a lot of expansive, and is like Alex Gonzalez´s bass drum. What do you think is the more different in a bass drums of 24"x18" and 22"x18", the last are a lot here.

  • hi, well in england a bass drum of this size will prob retail around £1000 and prob could get 2nd hand around £400 - £600. Sound wise a whole different beast to a 22" much richer fuller and deeper, but a little slower with it. Sounds better across dynamic range than a 22" id say.. hope that helps ...

  • nice man

  • dude where did u get a dw drumset from?

  • this particular set i got second hand from oxford, you can always get them from your local dw dealer tho !

  • no problem man.. nice kit too! sounds sweeet

  • Kinda' looks like the drum set at Chuck E. Cheeses.

  • who the fuck cares what it looks like. It sounds great.

  • I never said it didn't sound great you idiot.

  • i never said you didn't.

  • You assumed I did.

  • Recording drums is an ART.

  • exactly; and it appears old snarehat doesn't appreciate these things ...

  • Bass drum sounds like cardboard! People spend thou$and$ on nice bass drums but haven't a clue how to tune them. How sad. Might as well use a cheap mahogany drum, or even a box!!

  • have you ever heard john bonhams bass sound ? surprisingly high tuned and no muffling. some people like sounds beyond mega damped beach balls, i dont. also bear in mind, this is no 'hifi' audio ... last time i checked mahogany was an expensive wood ..
