  • A kit sounds as good as who plays them. that's all i have to say.

  • Been playing since 1982. I just bought a Pearl Reference. Sick drum kit to say the least. But I dont even feel Im a worthy drummer for this amazing kit. I feel guilt for buying it. In fact after nearly 30 years and 100s of gigs I still suck. Then I saw this kid with a sick set. All I can say is that I hope this set that your parents bought you keeps you motivated forever. Its an insane kit for sure. Find a band and get better. Good luck

  • Tell your parents to buy me a reference too

  • And what china is that?

  • hey what heads are you using?...thats a really nice kit. im getting the same one but in purple sparkle:p

  • he plays like justin bieber. this is god awful

  • He's a kid for fuck's sake! He's gotta lotta years in front of him to learn and improve. And maybe you should get a better job if you can or quit blowin' your cash in the local strip joint on chics you'll never get and then maybe you can buy yourself a kit like this if that's what you want. The only negative thing I'm gonna say is he may as well have saved some cash and got a Pearl Export kit, cause with the way these are tuned, it wouldn't make a difference. Keep drummin' man.

  • you're getting there young man don't worry about what all these people say. There are a lot of drummers that have the same kit you have that are a lot worse. I would say you should take a took at your independance though. Your hand development is coming along and that's great but your bass drum wasn't even present. Throw in some triplet independance exercises to get that rolling keep going!!!

  • ok hes got a kit that costs thousands but he sucks that rlly makes me mad

  • How exactly did the comments get off topic to politics?

  • is that kit in a kitchen.

  • nice kit!

  • this kid needs a 1000 dollar bass drum...........cant play a 2 and 4 but goddamnit i needs me a 10,000 dollar kit

  • I have a pearl elx, yet it sounds so much better than yours.

  • I wonder if he just turned the camcorder on and started playing because as the clip goes on, you can tell he becomes more warmed up. The beginning is pretty harsh but when he starts going, there is some potential here. Usually it does upset me to see somwhat of a beginner with such a nice kit but there are certain kids that just love it. I think this young man is one of those

  • Jesus dudes, lay off the kid. There was a time when we were all starting out, okay we mightn't all have had Pearl Reference's but we certainly all thought that we were Brann Dailor or Dave Lambardo flying around the kit making silly mistakes because we wanted to learn everything yesterday. It's our personality and ability to play for the song that makes us good drummers and gets us gigs not Pearl References or Zildijans. Let the kid have what he wants and let him get on with it.

  • I have this same kit in the same finish!!!!!!! This kid sucks and doesnt deserve them. He deserves a Tama Swingstar with sabian B8's haha.

  • @xXxIFORSAKENxXx

    make that imperialstar

  • Another rich faggot that thinks they can play because their parents buy them anything they want..

  • hello

    hey greetings friend liked me I would tell you that your battery is very nice and let me know how much you cost and you included

    thanks

    you play very well

  • WTF!!!

    Why this kid hase a Reference!! :o

    He doesn't need a so good drum kit!!

  • so did your parents shit out 4 grand so they could buy you this drum set?...

  • @geodrummer96 actually i have the same kit in the same finish and it cost over 5 G's. But im actually good so i deserve them. This kid blows and does not deserve them

  • Such masterful rhythms. Such grace and finesse. You definitely deserve a Pearl Reference. So you recommend putting the cymbals at unnecessarily high heights? I want to be more like you.

  • No matter how good I get, I don't think I'd ever spend $6000 on one kit. This kid just needs to own up to the fact that his parents are filthy rich and it doesn't make him cool or special to own these drums. In fact, when they're tuned terribly like they are in this video, it makes him sound even more shitty.

  • I think your kit owns, and your halfway decent dude, if you were to start practicing your hands and feet to a click, your skills would skyrocket!!!

    From one drummer to another, start covering metallica songs from their album And Justice for All, that will build your chops!

  • pppl stop hatin on. i learn that ppl hete on he for two reason,

    1 he sound better than most of yall

    2 his set is better than your.

    yall need to stop hatin on him, he sounds good to me. if yall think your better y do you put up a video of you playing. it probably sounds like shit but go for it. now get off here hatin and go make that video so i can talk shit about you,

  • nice kit man . y do pple keep criying cuz u have the kit and they dont . grow up geez they act like a 2nd grader whos friend got a bigger coloring book.

  • if you had cash for this kit and played drums u wud ALL get one. he wont ever need 2 buy another kit again, most of us will buy couple more sets better than the ones we have so it will even out in price, he just got the best kit 1st.

  • im very fond of say a ddrum dominion ash pocket for 500$ and im sbout six times better than this kid

  • yea i agree its a big kit for his experience level but if u can afford it why not get the best?? once he gets better than the kit will be better for him at least hes trying

  • he doesnt deserve that kit

  • I'm not haten, but i wanna know how he got that kit. i mean it may not be the most expensive, but its over 3grand worth of drums alone without the hardware and cymbals. and it sounds like he just started, doesn't make sense. oh and yes i am jealous

  • @ThePearlGuy wow that much, i got my got a church who sold their for 50 bucks and a organ for 100 buck

  • fuck i'm sick and tired of seeing comments bout yer you suck and for fuck sake you don't deserve reference,really honestly who the fuck care's no disrespect,hey may or not be a loser but reference aren't the fuckin bee's knee's to drum's,there's heap's of other drum's that are way more expensive than pearl so to all,the try hard'd or people who just can't afford them just be happy with what you've got encoragement,goes a long way,for those who just seak at achievment bye putting somebody down fu

  • fuck you guys the kid got one and you didnt lucky you man keep it up

  • paganwardrummer's comment is really funny and true

  • you know what this is actually really impressive ............ to make such an awesome kit sound like shit is a talent !!

  • trekt up de zak

  • It takes an intelligent person to play percussion...however, most drummers tend to be either completely retarded or completely douche.

    What's wrong with his style of playing, honestly? It's consistent, not many mistakes...he could easily perform for an alternative group and be successful.

    All you need to stop hating, it's fucking retarded.

    "You suck too much for a Reference." Who fucking cares? He can afford one, so he bought one. That's capitalism, motherfucker. Welcome to America.

  • @PaganWarDrummer i glad we both see eye to eye i think he good but ppl on here just gotta hate.

  • @PaganWarDrummer except the thing is, he pushes, his time isn't good, and he made a big mistake, which was sitting down at the drum set. he does't have any groove or feel, or any control over his dynamics.

  • @AirsoftCritics

    Where does he push? That's something that happens occasionally when one doesn't practice with a metronome, and could easily be fixed by playing with a band. And just because he doesn't fit your description of what having feel means. And as for dynamics, he's consistent, which leaves room for improvement and expansion.

    You look like an enormous ass. Quit posting stupid, arrogant comments eight months after someone else because you're too much of a bitch to keep it to yourself.

  • @PaganWarDrummer mass production lowers costs. america gouges prices, capitalism run amok...

  • @gwb911

    Turning this into a political discussion will get you decimated. Nobody cares that you're too unintelligent to appreciate the fact that capitalism actually works.

  • dude. u are pretty bad to have such a nice kit. you really gott learn how to tune all that stuff too. ur just an ameture for such a nice kit

  • does each drum come with the optimount system?

  • wow this poor set needs to be rescued from u cause ur killing it ur ass dude

  • I don't get that wouldn't u feel guilty having that when your not that good. I don't to sound like a dick but dude theres a limit. Its about pride

  • dont hate the kid for having a great kit, they have money they can do whatever they want with it. but he does play aweful ill give you that... =(

  • sell this and get a Performance plus or something, it matches ur skill better !

  • you don't deserve that, fucking noob.

  • This kid having a Reference pisses me off. A lot. Look at how high his cymbals are! That quickly says that he either thinks he's Terry Bozzio (one of the most dynamic guys out there) or he's a total twat. He's sloppy 100%. Reference are unnecessary for anyone not gigging or recording seriously and often- but it's this kid's parents buying their kids stuff that they definitely don't need or deserve that keeps the music instrument industry alive. I'm quite fond of my PDP X7 that cost only $600.

  • Seriously- how did you get a Reference Kit? That's just not right. I guess if you really focus on your playing and practice like hell it could be worth it to have it in a few years. Watch out when you take that to a gig. A friend of mine went out for a smoke and no one was watching his drums that were sitting at the side of the stage and someone just jacked his snare and ride cymbal - $600 worth of gear just gone. How many times did you have to mow the lawn for your parents to buy that for you?

  • now thats just ignorant....

  • @Schm3ry Wow you are an arrogant prepubescent little fuck. If you are going to make a comeback why not use intelligence instead of resorting to racism?

  • @Schm3ry fuck you you rich bastard Schm3ry, and your rich parents, you should have practiced alot more before you got this set

  • @Schm3ry you racist douche bag

  • @Schm3ry Stop being such an immature racist.

  • @Schm3ry you put your fucking kit in a kitch thats how smart you are.. go fuck your self

  • @glitchhacker101

    One fuckhead i dont think a kitchen would have fucking carpet and a fireplace..jesus christ your stupid

    two you can go suck a fuck, ill fucking go buy another Reference kit and burn that mother fuckin shit to the ground. shit, ill go fucking buy two more kits and then a Masters Custom, put my cymbals as high as the fuckin ceiling and then just burn all that shit too.

    then if it were possible, id take the biggest wad of Benjamins i could hold and slap your mother fuckin face

  • @Schm3ry Wow, you are a rich spoiled brat, wow! your parents give you money to buy shit you don't need like a 3,400 dollar shell pack and a good 3 grand on cymbals and hardware.. I didnt say SHIT about your cymbals, or your kit, I just asked you if the kit was in a question! bu of course your filthy rich ass, has to be a dick and be a cracker jack hill billy. do your parents not spend enough time with you? or not pay attention. instead they bought you a pearl reference kit. they hate you

  • @Schm3ry Leave it to a cracker to hate on someone that didnt do shit to them.

  • @glitchhacker101 Leave it to a nigger to make a stupid comment.

  • @spikeman23 racist. you are the VERY reason society can't get along.

  • @glitchhacker101 Like you calling white people crackers and honkeys isn't racist

  • @spikeman23 i didnt say honkey, and when in history did a bunch of people get together and say lets go lynch some crackers? NEVER! go die with hitler you racist PRICK!

  • @glitchhacker101

    one thats not a kitchen...carpet, fireplace, drawing tables...your fucking dumb

    and two..this drum kit is in a closet, its all about the DUBSTEPPPP

    so before you shit your pants again because my kit is fucking awesome

    go pop a couple gs up hoes down and rave

  • @Schm3ry You are the jew in this case.

  • Somebody's a lil jealous. Anyways kid, you keep on jammin out. Ignore the haters.

  • no not jealous, just a hater. I realized today how much stuff I hate - it's a lot of stuff; probably not healthy, but I could care less. I demand justice and balance in the universe - a kid getting a professional level instrument just for existing is not right. My first bass (and still current bass) is a Peavey Milestone IV - it's crap but it gets the job done. My first drumset was a junk Japanese kit from the early 70's that I sold like a total jackass and still regret doing that.

  • same here man, I had a Coda drum set which lasted me a good three or four years before I got a vision kit and most of the hardware I paid for myself. It sucks how this generation is babied so much. It just kills me. But as long as this kid practices he'll get better.

  • true i agree

  • @jacosmith86 i agree, i have a 500% SP that i totally revamped and it sounds fine, this kid pisses me off too. that is easily a 3,000$ kit and this kid aint even that good. this is a professional level kit....

  • @jacosmith86 dude chill. so what if he likes his cymbals high. stetting up your kit is all about preference. he might be a bit sloppy but thats what practice is for, right? all im sayin is if you have that kind of money, then why not buy a top of the line kit. like if you have never played drums, but can afford a dw collectors series kit, then why not get one? and he not really a bad musician.

  • @jacosmith86 amen.

  • @jacosmith86 its because his parents are rich and they don't want to spend ime with him to they buy him thousands of dollars worth of gear to shut him up.

  • @jacosmith86 Your REALLY JEALOUS lol

  • @jacosmith86 thats only cos you cant afford anything else!!!!!!!!!!!! if you had money for vision or reference or masters you would get em!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • why is everyone ragging on his playing? they should focus their attention on his drumset that's in the middle of the kitchen

  • i have only touched a drum kit four times and i am better than u. spoiled fucking brat send me that drum set so u can put it to good use

  • guys dont hate...hes just not as good as us

  • you don't deserve to have that drum

  • that drumset should of went to a kid the same age but with some more experience its a shame that instrument has be played like that

  • drummin was sloppy

  • The cam and the kits tuning doesnt do it justice...

  • nice set man...but work on your switching form one beat to the next...its a bit sloppy...but we all were like that at one time right ? btw...what are your cymbal specs ?

  • that's not much of an upgrade, gong from one crappy kit to another

  • visions arent crappy one bit

  • @ JonttOO

    i am playing my old Basix for ~ 6 years now :D

    but i´m going to buy a pearl vision in december ;)

  • i've been playing my Pearl Target for like 4½ year now, and I'd really like a vision.. how many years did you guys play your low-price-first-kit?

    btw, reference kickass

  • im gonna play my target for a long time! 1 1/2 years and counting

  • dont get a vision, get like a masters, or a different brand. vision suck, and dont say they dont, cos thats cos ur kit sucks in comparison

  • I didn't get a drum kit until after I banged on everything with sticks. Then I got my export. That was 5 years ago. I've been using it since then. Hardware and cymbal upgrades and the like. The drums have stayed the same. I've been waiting until I knew just the kit I wanted, I've narrowed it down.

    Pearl masters or reference. Not easy to pay for when you have to pay for school, food, car and insurance.

    But it's worth it.

  • Good god, guys. Stop ripping him apart just because he's got a better kit than you. If you don't like his drumming, don't watch the video. Grow up.

    You're doing well. Keep it up.

  • well drummers get mad because most of us have been playing our whole lives and never had the money to buy a set like this so when we see a a new player with a set like this it's kinda like....

  • Very understandable. I guess some people are just lucky... or rich....

  • mate take this clip down..... invest in some lessons...then maabby come back....

  • haha seriously what r u doing?

  • Quite frankly you'd of been better not bothering at all.

    Ive been playing for 5 years and ive only just ordered my dream kit Pearl Masterworks in Emerald Fade

  • I'll trade you my pearl vision.........

  • yah,, but ou can have this kit for your entire live think... and e will be good someday...

    srr fot bad english :D

  • dude, where did you get the money to pay for that kit?

  • WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS AMAZING KIT? i have a good gretsch kit but i would love to buy one of these later on and by god i feel sorry for those drums. out of all the good players that these drums could have had they're stuck with you... so sad

  • You're a moron. What kit the person has means absolutely nothing. Who cares if he isn't a top notch player and has a Reference kit? Why do you care so much? A wee bit jealous maybe? Insecure about your performance level?

    I do sessions, I've done a tour and I have taught, but for years I played on an Export. That kit sounded great! You know why? THE PLAYER!

    This guy will get to higher levels some day, so when he does, he was a fantastic kit for him to grow on.

  • well i'm simply amazed that he invested all that money into a really expensive setup when he might not even keep this set. i mean good for him if he got all this at a killer price but i wouldn't spend the money on this kind of set unless i was really hitting big leagues. i got my kit for $400 after 2 years of playing because i wanted to be sure i wasn't going to just lose interest. my comment is an opinion and i'm glad you shared yours. even if you did call me a moron.

  • nice kit though

  • you suck

  • You Suck and you have a Reference kit

  • Sweet kit dude, but can't really say the same about the playing...

  • Comment removed

  • ...

  • hey where did you get your pearl reference drumset from. and what is that scarlet fade.

    also how much was it

  • for some reason I feel like this is you're dad sets but maybe I am wrong? really you need to cut down on that set and make it only a few peices that you play real good.... this is WAY too much for you.

  • interesting style.. sweet kit by the way

  • you rule.

  • you suck =p

  • sucks. noob cymbal angles

  • Don't flame him cause of his cymbal angles... i bet hes way better than you and did u ever stop and think that he likes his cymbals angled that way?

  • the cymbals are gonna crack easier that way

  • when you crack your fucking cymbals then you can say that

  • ...that doesnt make sense i have cracked a cymbal before...

  • oh yeah i forgot that tends to happen when you have Harmony cymbals from JCPenny, my bad

  • It's not the cymbals it's the player. But just keep practicing and you'll come along.

  • ha, im better than you even if i have B8's

  • @Schm3ry damn kid you SUCK

  • @Schm3ry Hey dick weed.. just because you have 8000 drum set that you do NOT deserve doesnt mean you can trash other people. dumb fuck. i could own your ass with my 1 year old generic CB kit... get a drum teacher tool.

  • dude u got owned so bad.

  • Cool ! Its all about passion for drumming.

    Rock on dude!

  • Keep Practicing. I see some potential there. You really need to practice with a metronome. The drums sound great. Check out some more Groove players, Chad Smith, Dennis Chambers, Our 2 jobs in any situation is keep time and groove the tune.

  • What a waste . . .

  • ... no kidding. this is my dream kit lol

  • my dream kit too....

  • Nice kit man. using same but in Purple craze.Ignore the negative comments keep playing and enjoying what you got.

  • Hey dude, dont listen to anyone... keep rocking on you awesome kit, i wish i had a reference too...i have an export, but i love it.

  • Me too!:L Reference kit is my goal for second kit. I'm gonna need a bloody job...

  • stupid white boy man , poor drum set , that drums need someone to fucks good , no way the solo sucks , hit the kit

  • could someone translate this from fuck into english

  • All you princesses suck it up, deal with what you own, and leave this kid alone.

    it's a great kit, i'd be stoked to own it.

  • wow i dont even have A DRUMSET..i have to practice with just sticks (rudiments, technique, etc.)

    i agree with silentpenguin51

  • EPIC FAIL

  • damn

    and you probably grew up a rich little white boy

    getting everything he wanted

    including that fake sense of any skill

    whatsoever on a drum kit

  • If only the more you spent the better you got.....this kid would be sounding good.......hhhmmm or not.

    i agree,maby get a export......a second hand one....a reeaally shit one.....maby a power beat?

    you really really suck, sorry....jellous? no i have one : )

  • wow... i learned on a shitty export. kids get way to much these days. i think your drum teachr would slap your face if he seen you bangin on a reference like that. sell the kit, buy an export, use the rest of the money for tuition fee's for the next year or 2.. oh.. and a metronome...buy one of them.

  • dude u hade and export i had a fucking first act shit thing now i just bought a forum and im in love with it cause thats all i can afford

  • wish i had his kit...

  • there is an option were you can take away this videos from youtube.. i recommend you to do that because there are a bunch of bad comments and they are all true.. you suck mann, to much drums for you

  • this set and your playing don´t match...

  • woow... you suck man!

  • Keep practicing, but don't let all of these jealous guys get you down man.

  • hey...i see a good in this...y buy a shitty set then buy a good set in the future...just buy a good one wen at first then ull never have to spend more money...only on cymbals and heads and shit

  • You are no good for that beautiful kit.

  • wow dude i agree. u must have a wang like no other. stop playing the drums. u a fag to the pearl. return the dr4um set and never post a video again.

  • wow you suck wang you bring shame to pearl

  • wow your like 12 years old, give me the kit

  • u should of bought CB drums of Westbury

  • the reference, is a god

    you, by even sitting behind them

    by even being in the sam ROOM as them

    are bringing shame upon pearl

    blackthor is way right

    pearl should take them back,

    and then smack you across the face with a drumstick =/

    sorry. but you suck.

  • anyone who is jealous of this kid is an idiot, rather than telling us your sob story of how you've worked your entire life to buy a drum set go practice !

  • pearl should take that away from you

  • hey man fuck all of them, i just started playing drums and got a td12 because i live in an apartment. i suck more than you, i cant even play. but i dont care man when i move into a house i am going to buy the most expensive kit i can afford i am not rich but i will save up for a reference or dw. the reason is because i want something that is going to last and i dont want to keep changing kit. I had the same problem for years with pc's. Maybe focus on the feel rather than trying to show off. J

  • what type of zildjian cymbals u got cause i got a pearl vision series and i got ZHT

  • Pearl Drums should take away that from you

  • hahahaha flying stix, what a fag, get the fuck outta here

  • tocas hecho caca!!

  • i agree with u whole heartedly

  • i hate when im sitting here with my CHEAP @SS drums... and hes making those horrible noises on those wonderful ones!

  • All the gear.. No idea.. Fucking rich kids

  • omg. This kit really deserve one who can play. U really suck dude. It cant really be your kit?

  • right on flying stix

  • That was directed to flyingstix412

  • nice kit! thinking of buying one, how much did the drums,rack and cymbals cost?

  • sell your reference, and buy 12 pulse kits, then ull know how pointless it was to buy that set at your lack of experience
