Whew! Thought you were going to keel over and have a Heart Attack . By 1:30 you appear to be in sheer agony... might want to lay off of the twinkies and ho hos...LOL
You've certainly got ideas. I'd like to see what you could pull off with a kick, snare and a hi-hat. Cause, at the beginning you were laying down a pretty good start to a sick groove man. Clearly not a thought out thing, but oh well it sounded pretty decent to me.
@ndhudecz thanks bud! it's actually a crusty old premier from the late 60's.. the re-rings are cracked and glued back and i just refinished it in glass glitter to match my main kit - it has old Ludwig standard lugs and strainer and unknown die cast hoops ! sounds even better know with an evans power center head.
Dude, you play fucking awesome! This is probably the best rock/metal solo on youtube thats not from a professional drummer. Slayer's first 3 records were recorded with this same kind of concert tom set up and sound. And thats cool, but... I personally would love to hear you on a double headed kit. mic'd even! RAD.
@jcer93705 hey man, sorry for the delay..been on the road...for this I had remo pinstripes with 1" sound rings in place - nice dull thud..hard to get the metallica boom with single heads unless of course your micing. If you had concert toms and wanted that kind of sound I would try evans hydraulics or maybe the new remo powerstrokes - something with built in rings - theres so many head out now...who knows might might be the magic combo!
Thank you yea I'm not sure i'm going to get the tama set after all but like i said I'm not sure. So much problems that causing me to bust out $ dinero. LOL but yet my brother has a ludwig vista lite which was mine couple years ago and is setup as concert tom I remember putting shirt to add some muffleing but you got you're tama sounding good. Are you happy with you're setup? And thank for replying :).
@bubbawad I absolutely love concert toms! I have that exact set, and im playing them right now. and the new Remo powerstrokes are defiantly the way to go. i just bought a set of them and they are, hands down the best bass heads I've ever played.Evans Hydraulics are awsome heads too. I have a set of ludwig blue oyster pearls with em' and they sound amazing, but needless to say i dont play those much due to how much they are worth. KEEP ROCKIN' THE CONCERT TOMS!!!
@jcer93705 I think up till "..and justice for all" lars used concert tom setup, with remo pinstripes and dampening rings. Then from there on he had same skins and rings except with had bottom heads. If the drums in the video were mic'ed up with the MD421's lars used in his concert tom days they could defenitly sound like the "Metallica Drums."
@matttylergoldbloom Thanks man! i really gott a make a new video! I believe I had up at the time 17 & 19 zildjian rock crashes an 18 medium thin all from the 80's or so - ride is an old Sabian 22" prototype from the early 80's...one of the 1st sabians out there as well as mid 80's 22" sabian china
Hey, you said someday you'll get better. What are you talking about? You are very good and i agree with jordan. by the way can u take a look at my videos? Thanks, LongShotPictures
Thank you for being as good as your drum set. what i mean is, a guy with this many drums better be really good, other wise he's just showing off trying to look really good via bug drum sets. So im a harsh critic when guys play big sets, but you're really good. Kudos on this.
@JordanLThompson Thanks Jordan - great comment and much appreciated! I agree with you totally (not about me, but that many people use way more drums than needed and cymbals too) I would never take that thing out of the house - it was just the realization of a childhood dream for my own amusement- I play out with a 4 piece kit and three cymbals max... rock on!
How much were your concert toms? I've been trying to get an expansion on my drum set, but I can't find any at my local music stores. And where I can find them they're frigging expensive.
@PhilConey1 hey man - I actually bagged that whole set on ebay a few years ago for 650! 500 cash and a used rack unit with reverb to b exact. But yeah normally they're very expensive. This set was from early 80's - then I sold them for 1200 - wish I had kept them!
@alrisden If I ever get the money, i'd REALLY like to build a replica of the original octoplus, Hal blaines spun fiberglass monster with the blue sparkle ludwig 4 piece at the center. Great job and great sound.
@GarrettBray7 you mean the end?? I don't hear it - probably holding my breath while I set up the stupid cam.. I have a habit of not breathing while I am tinkering with stuff! glad you enjoyed my heavy breathing you perv! ;-)
@TobacCigO why? these drums are concert toms and produce the classic 70's sound they were made for. Perhaps you should educate yourself on classic gear instead. my other 6 kits have double sided toms if that pleases you. I don't understand your page...are you even old enough to smoke? WTF????
Im a big fan of open tomz, you dont see enuf of em theze dayz, they sound so dramatic, EPIC!, great solo 2 bro really showed off the sound of the kit perfectly :)
"Someday, I'll get better"? What are you talking about? Man! You have great feet and great "chops". That snare work is fantastic, not to mention the toms! I love the sound of single headed toms--especially Ludwig's! You're GREAT!
@metallica1252 Lars's kit was a granstar II and had black lugs and finishes. and his kit didnt have two mini concert toms above the hi-hat, but I know what you mean.
Thanks man, I started playing when iwas 4 or 5 'cause my older bro had a kit. I played for hours a day into my teens and in high school...took a few years off for college and my playin was never the same again...I swear I peaked when iwas 14-15!!! or so it seems..i probably sucked but didn't know it!
oh so to finish answering your ? - I am 40 now so about 35 years with a couple breaks along the way - this vid was shot right when I picked it up again after being away from drums for 5 years or so...
The octa plus looks cool, and I wanted one as a kit. I recently had a similar tama outfit. To be honest, I got sick of the single-headed concert tom thuddieness and lack of tone.
hey bud. well until recently I had 8 kits..sold most of them. My main kit now is pretty sick custom Ludwig's that I modified myself: I have 3 bass drums to choose from depending on mood/gig: 22x24,22x20,14x24 7 toms: 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18 toms..plus 2 new shallow toms: 7x12 and 7.5x13 all in silver glass glitter..I usually play out with only 4 or 5 piece kit though. I also have a silver sparkle vintage 5 pc kit of mixed drums with a 26" kick. and some old Ludwig Standards in ruby strata
I also have 2 old custom kick drums in black I made when I was like 14 - both 22x22 and a full set of roto toms that go over them...see other vid's of mine...there's one where I am goofing around on it but had a few concert toms thrown in too... I have a few more spare bass drums laying around and a pink camo ddrum punx set for my daughter! :-)
Great job! 5 stars. Big kits are so much fun. And I still love the sound of the single-head toms--more cleanly melodic than the ringing you sometimes get from the double heads. But I own both, so double heads are cool too. Can't believe you sold these. Keep posting!
i love these drum sets man they sound awsome when there mic up under each concert toms i love kits with concert toms i had a 82 imperial tama and figging sounded awsome but ludwigs back then were the best too me love too own one
Thanks man! It gives a dry sound, easier tuning for pitch, in this case a full octave with the 8 concert toms...I prefer double headed but these have an umistakable 70's sound! A lot easier to mic up too!
I miss the 70's drum sets! I had one like yours but in red. I should NEVER traded my 1973 Ludwig for a fucking flashy silver Pearl set while i was playing in a glam HAIR METAL band in the 80's! Damn!
Let me guess? You were copying it from the drummer of Quiet Riot when Metal health came out in 1983 with that video of him playing behind the black and white striped drumset....right???
Thnaks Man! Ludwig Octoplus Outfit from the late 70's. They were about 2500.00 back then. I bagged this one on ebay a few years ago for 650! It was in a garage all in cases untouched for years but a little beat up...sold this baby about a year ago for 1200. the 2 24" kicks sounded AWESOME with emad2 heads...can't beat a 24 with an emad! It's like magic. The concert toms are 6,8,10,12,13,14,15,16 & 18 double headed floor
Love Eric Carr! Saw him with Kiss many years ago of course..he started out with this same kit only in silver wrpa and then later moved up to depper, double headed toms and of course mega cannon bass drums...he is trhe reason I started making monster bass drums back in the ealry 80's by joining two shells togther..my main kit uses a custom ludwig 22 head by 24 deep that kills! beautiful Black Vistalite kit on ebay right now, check it out - search under ludwig in the 2500.00 range.
no, the 6 inch thru 14 are mounted on the original clip mounts (two posts off the BD's and one floor stand over the high hat. The 15 & 16 inch toms are mounted on a floor stand but use standard Lud post mounts for better positioning...very tough to fit it all together though and keeps things nice and close the way I like....the 15 & 16 are a bit hard to reach! peace!!!
wat the hell do you mean he sucks, this guys great. he doesnt even say "this is a great drum solo, i spent alot of time working on it" or anything like that
Musiuka wrote: hi, what is the difference in sound with concert toms and regular toms? - the answer is single heads are much drier sounding and focused. no resonance or boom. More of a dull thud...seventies sounding. They have a lot of overtone so I am using 2 ply pinstripe heads as well as muffle rings. Th emuffle rings are key for a more full sound.
I bought these on ebay about 5 years ago...for dirt cheap, nearby so I could pick them up too! SOld them about a year ago. There in WI now... :-( Someday I'll get another Octo...
Oh man if only you could actually hear them...my camera sucks!! They were so awesome (sold them a while ago). Evans Emad's front and rear. i got them from D'Addario Music to try out - fell in love. After I sold these I was so dissappointed not having a 24 that I bought an old marching bass on ebay for 30 bucks..added legs and an emad and presto - there is something magical about a 24 with emad...tried emads on my 22's and it's just not the same. 24's rule!
wow, I was never really partial to evans heads, but after hearing this i've reconsidered! by the way, do you happen to know whether your set was a 6-ply or 3-ply?
What heads are you using on your toms? Those things have a great "DUGGA DUH-GAH" going on. And i'm personally liking the whole single head thing. The toms definitely have a unique sound to them.
Hey thanks!! I like the way you put that...dugga duh-gah...it's almost like durkha durkha! At the time I had new Remo Pinstripes on all toms with 1" muffle rings laying on top except the 6 inch. My camera sucks and they sounded pretty full to my ear behind the kit for only singles - the kicks were incredible! 24 inchers..both with Emad2's!
FINOWA wrote: man, your kit sounds fantastic! i really dig that classic ludwig sound. also, to that one mong who complained about syncronizing vids, youtube tends to fuck some formats up completely, throwing the audio and video out of sync. cheers to you sir!
I went to right thank you and clicked on remove by accident! - thanks FINOWA
This is a Ludwig Octoplus Outfit from the late 70's. Back then they were about 2500.00. I bagged this one on ebay a few years ago for 650! It was in a garage all in cases untouched except the snare...the bonham stainless/chrome 6.5x14 was not in a case and all pitted...but it sounds amazing. I sold this baby (kept the snare) a year ago for about 1200. the 2 24" kicks sounded AWESOME with emad2 heads...can't beat a 24 with an emad! It's like magic. The toms are 6,8,10,12,13,14,15,16 & 18 floor

Great job! 5 stars. Big kits are so much fun. And I still love the sound of the single-head toms--more cleanly melodic than the ringing you sometimes get from the double heads. But I own both, so double heads are cool too. Can't believe you sold these. Keep posting!

Well, we all lose endurance over time....even the Greats !!! but you still got the speed. Well done !!!

wicked playing, didn't expect it. If you got on a more traditional kit (bottom heads) it would take your sound home.

sweet video, whats the purpose of keeping the toms open?
ch33sepuff63 2 years ago
Thanks man! It gives a dry sound, easier tuning for pitch, in this case a full octave with the 8 concert toms...I prefer double headed but these have an umistakable 70's sound! A lot easier to mic up too!
bubbawad 2 years ago
I miss the 70's drum sets! I had one like yours but in red. I should NEVER traded my 1973 Ludwig for a fucking flashy silver Pearl set while i was playing in a glam HAIR METAL band in the 80's! Damn!

Let me guess? You were copying it from the drummer of Quiet Riot when Metal health came out in 1983 with that video of him playing behind the black and white striped drumset....right???

Thnaks Man! Ludwig Octoplus Outfit from the late 70's. They were about 2500.00 back then. I bagged this one on ebay a few years ago for 650! It was in a garage all in cases untouched for years but a little beat up...sold this baby about a year ago for 1200. the 2 24" kicks sounded AWESOME with emad2 heads...can't beat a 24 with an emad! It's like magic. The concert toms are 6,8,10,12,13,14,15,16 & 18 double headed floor

Love Eric Carr! Saw him with Kiss many years ago of course..he started out with this same kit only in silver wrpa and then later moved up to depper, double headed toms and of course mega cannon bass drums...he is trhe reason I started making monster bass drums back in the ealry 80's by joining two shells togther..my main kit uses a custom ludwig 22 head by 24 deep that kills! beautiful Black Vistalite kit on ebay right now, check it out - search under ludwig in the 2500.00 range.
bubbawad 3 years ago
do you have a rack keeping the toms up? looks kinda like they're just floating there.
6string6shreddr6 3 years ago
no, the 6 inch thru 14 are mounted on the original clip mounts (two posts off the BD's and one floor stand over the high hat. The 15 & 16 inch toms are mounted on a floor stand but use standard Lud post mounts for better positioning...very tough to fit it all together though and keeps things nice and close the way I like....the 15 & 16 are a bit hard to reach! peace!!!

Dude I have an eight piece kit and only use 1 of my snares, 1 bass drum, 1 tom, and the 2 floor toms.
Sparten1992 3 years ago
As Bob Weir said - "too much of everything is just enough"
I use a 5 piece for the road - one up two down...much easier to lug around too!

Musiuka wrote: hi, what is the difference in sound with concert toms and regular toms? - the answer is single heads are much drier sounding and focused. no resonance or boom. More of a dull thud...seventies sounding. They have a lot of overtone so I am using 2 ply pinstripe heads as well as muffle rings. Th emuffle rings are key for a more full sound.

bubbawad 3 years ago
oh my god, the kick drums on that thing are orgasmic! what heads did you have on them?
domination90237 3 years ago
Oh man if only you could actually hear them...my camera sucks!! They were so awesome (sold them a while ago). Evans Emad's front and rear. i got them from D'Addario Music to try out - fell in love. After I sold these I was so dissappointed not having a 24 that I bought an old marching bass on ebay for 30 bucks..added legs and an emad and presto - there is something magical about a 24 with emad...tried emads on my 22's and it's just not the same. 24's rule!
bubbawad 3 years ago
wow, I was never really partial to evans heads, but after hearing this i've reconsidered! by the way, do you happen to know whether your set was a 6-ply or 3-ply?
domination90237 3 years ago
nice kit?? nice kit and player. good job!

miketalbot4 3 years ago
What heads are you using on your toms? Those things have a great "DUGGA DUH-GAH" going on. And i'm personally liking the whole single head thing. The toms definitely have a unique sound to them.
downer55453 3 years ago
Hey thanks!! I like the way you put that...dugga duh-gah...it's almost like durkha durkha! At the time I had new Remo Pinstripes on all toms with 1" muffle rings laying on top except the 6 inch. My camera sucks and they sounded pretty full to my ear behind the kit for only singles - the kicks were incredible! 24 inchers..both with Emad2's!
