Reference Pure Solo #1

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

I don't like snare drum sound, but the rest of the kit sound amazing!

[gopedplaystation]

i have the regular pearl reference and love it

[NickNoRtHeRnLiGhTs]

this dudes good!

[LOUD7]

Im so in love with the reference pure sound.To bad i can't afford it. :...(

[kk6downing]

So this is the same as the Reference, but lightweight

[beastlyninja1]

the toms sound too high and bright to me...

[PositivelyBored]

@beatfreak1983

Kris is one of the top drummers in the USA right now.

[instantbrother]

such a musical drummer! Love this solo/groove vibe... Great video!

[aaronmathewclem]

2:38 Wow- one handed amazingness!

[GuidoWorship]

I just fell in love with the snare drum of the intro solo!!!!!!!! 0:00 - 0:05 Could you guys please tell me which one is it?!?!

[PearlDrumCorp]

@GuidoWorship This was a drum part constructed specifically for the video series. If you like the sound, you should check out any of our MCX Masters 14x6.5 6-ply maple snare drums at pearldrum com

[GuidoWorship]

@PearlDrumCorp thanks a lot!! I'll definitely check them out!!!

[werdessej]

well, now i know what the snare sounds like.....how bout the toms....shoulda incorporated a LOT more tom action IMO

[ZEB0V]

Will it blend?

[PearLDrummeR1871]

how much does it cost?

[1324dr]

i rather the ambassador heads instead in my opinion

[tonerxx11]

If the kit is meant to be more resonant, like a thinner shelled jazz kit, why do emperor's come standard? It is a myth that two ply heads get a warmer/deeper sound. Diplomats get the warmest sound, they can be tuned lower(because your only stretching one skin) and give the drum much more clarity at high tunings. Two plys merely dull the sound. Has pearl shares in Remo? Use one ply heads top and bottom learn to tune well in the mid-range with and your drums will be effortless to play(rebound)

Hi Pearl Drum Corp.

I Love your drums they sound awesome

I just have one question: Does Vision VBL ship to finland any time soon???

please reply I'm going to buy my new drum kit this summer and I now i'm going to buy Pearl. Thanks.

[JoeBlutenKat]

Ladies and Gentleman...The baddest man on the planet..Kris Myers.

[aseriesoftubes66]

@asightsetonyou Really? If I understand the idea behind the Reference Pure well enough, this would seem to be an excellent solo to showcase the series. The Pure's are supposed to resonate beautifully. I thought the sparing, but tasteful use of the toms gave them plenty of time to show just how well they do that.

[xXDuenDeXxX]

Una pregunta, cual es el estilo en general del solo? porque es muy bueno ...

[PearlDrumCorp]

@xXDuenDeXxX Aquí está la infofrmation para la banda de Kris ... umphreys.com

[ricohorton]

i like what Pearl did with this kit.

[youenjoy00myself]

finally pearl fixes the one problem with reference, the thick shells. but any drum set sounds amazing when kris myers is playing it...

[moeron051]

Kris killed it!

[Phrase]

Drummer is awesome! Drums sound amazing but toms are slightly lacking in "attack" to my ears. I guess there is no EQ on the recording so we can hear the true sound of the kit ?

Get Dennis Chambers and a set of Evans G2 coated on one of these kits and make another video ;-)

[Salzcamino]

Definitely sound more resonant than the regular References. Though I do agree I would like to hear them played in a more simple groove. 

[athansauc]

hmmm im not really sure... since the idea is thin shells, how does this become better with the tama starclassic thin shell drums? no disrespect intended. just looking for a clear view of which drum is better.

[joeyhoeyca]

@athansauc Reference Pure is the same multi wood blend of the Original Reference, but thinner, and with lighter hoops .

Maple Birch and Mahogany are used, where Starclassic i believe are Bubinga/Birch

Reference Pure was designed so that not only will each individual drum sound the best that it can in its size(diaxdep) but it will have the most full tone also,(because thinner shell = more vibration = more tone) so you fully hear the different woods at work. they're just less cutting as O.R.

[asightsetonyou]

They look pretty cool, wish they had a different drummer playing them though, this dude is to tricky and it's annoying. I want to hear this set played straight forward, give it a better representation of what it actually sounds like.

[PearlDrumCorp]

@asightsetonyou You'll find that Kris is a very multi-faceted player when you see some of his upcoming Reference Pure groove videos... stay tuned!

[opsopcopolis]

@PearlDrumCorp +1 to that, Kris is an incredible drummer

[citizenstarchild]

@asightsetonyou I'm not hating but I can't believe you called this annoying...funk drumming is a very hard style to play, and if you ask me playing "straight" without any syncopation is downright boring! Kris is a freakin' awesome drummer, he has a master's degree in jazz percussion and definitely knows what he is doing!

[JPdedrummer]

I have the same Ride! :P

[kimattbort]

@JPdedrummer OMG!!!

[PatrickProduction]

I wanna see Cobus Potgieter on one of these :P

[Beholdthecoma]

@PatrickProduction this guy is way better, so why?

[PatrickProduction]

@Beholdthecoma Just out of curiosity haha :D

[mattyb5458]

@PatrickProduction Give me a break. Kris Myers is an animal....clearly. These drums look and sound fantastic.

[KoryWB]

Looooove that snare.

[ballaratamacue52]

That is gorgeous. Sounds pretty clean through these earphones...What heads are they?

[PearlDrumCorp]

@ballaratamacue52 Remo Clear Emperor Tom Batters which are standard with every kit.

[ballaratamacue52]

@PearlDrumCorp Nice. and the snare?

[chickenbeforeegg]

c'mon dude, you're makin' me look like a bad drummer xD

[BlackYota]

I can't wait to play some of these!

[baronofhell08]

meh i don't like how they changed the hoops to triple flanged instead of diecast, plus i liked the thicker snare better.

[ANDRExDEY]

sounds good and that was a great solo!

[persini]

gooo Pearllllll, tasty solo, im so buying this kit 

[FaithIsAccidental]

Not really a fan of those tom sounds, but still a nice kit.

[alexed18]

is the R.P. good for metal or hard rock?

[SomeoneWitSkill]

@alexed18

i wouldnt think so, the point of the pures are to give a softer tone, im more of a tama guy, but i would get just the reference series drums

[drummer9990]

@alexed18

I say more hard rock, it has a warmer tone to it
