what are the high hats?

The velvetones are much smoother, little warmer, not as punchy. Great kit for sitting in the groove. The Blaster however is big and has almost a night club sounding bass to it. It's like a dance record in a drum set, would be a great kit for anyone playing funk or indie rock n roll.

Thanks Stephen for your reply.

Which kit of the 2 will you recommend me. I have also own a regular Saturn (maple/walnut).

Regards.

Hi Stephen,

What`s the main difference between the Velvetone and Blaster drumset??

You played on both.

Thanks.

Loved the kit, definitely,

but did you maybe tune the toms a bit high?

I mostly ask because that high tom just sounds really high and has a dry tone.

[GreenbrierPercussion]

@slipknotmeep These definitely came out of the box tuned high. I only had time to even them out a little. I would have preferred to go significantly lower. Unfortunately we only have a sound guy for a few hours one day a week right now.

What mic kit are you using?

[GreenbrierPercussion]

@walt9427 Audix D6 (bass), Two shure SM81a (overheads), Three SM57, and an Audix I5.
