[psychosocial4065]

[MrReedro1]

Is this a gladstone maple kit?

[LaughingOutKraut]

Too bad they decided to put THAT finish on these beautiful sounding drums.

[diperrimax]

i neeeeeeeeeeeed to play drums now

[zzzzzushi]

must......have......now......!­!!!!!

[TheKyron93]

See.. This is how we want kits to be tried out..

[06livefast]

the snare is so in yo face, and then the toms are like damp and collective, I want to play basketball.

[MrHerbalist66]

Hi. Can someone please give me some advice??

I am about to order a a 5 piece kit off c&c (24x18 bass, 10"&12, 16", 14" snare)

I'm in a rock/metal band and was wondering if these drums are definately going to be suitable for my bands/genre's sound? I play an Orange County kit at the moment, and the 2 brands are so different in their approach to building drums.

Just don't wan't to make a very expensive mistake!

Any advice would be greatly appriciated :)

[acidoversydneyband]

@MrHerbalist66 C&C are great drums, I play rock music, influenced by Black Sabbath to Jimmy Eat World. I play the vintage Mahogany kit, but without the wooden hoops. I would suggest to do a lot of research and go for the sound instead of the company. I didn't go for C&C as a company, I went for the sound that their kits offered. Oh also I'd be careful about your sizes, mounting a 10&12" on a 24" bass drum could be difficult. Feel free to mail me if ya need to.

[MrHerbalist66]

@acidoversydneyband Yeh I've changed that to just a 12" rack tom now. 14 & 16" floor toms instead :) I think c&c does have the sound I'm looking for - I'm a big fan off the old school Ludwig's and appaerntly these kits are very similar.

Natural lacquered finish, mini tube lugs, 14" x 8" snare!! - cant wait!!

[acidoversydneyband]

@MrHerbalist66 Class man, fair play to ya. I went for a 13" rack tom and a 16* &18" Floor tom with a 22x14" bass drum. I hope it works out for ya. The snare should sound wicked, nice and deep, you'll get a great hard rock low end off that baby!

[jonasqbemis]

These drums sound fantastic!

[FluffyMuffina]

My dream set.

[ps3geek182]

CC floor toms always sound epic !!

[ThEaNtMuRdErEr]

this is probably the most beautiful kit i've ever heard and seen.......

[shakakamooroar]

how do you tune those toms?

[memphisdrumshop]

@shakakamooroar It's hard for us to tell you because we mostly tune by ear and feel. I can say that our drums are tuned tighter on the reso side and moderately tight on the batter side.

[ericnrivers]

@memphisdrumshop that actually helps a lot. :)

[screenscanner]

@memphisdrumshop Thankyou! i have a pretty good ear its just i dont know what i'm listening for when tuning. do i go round the lugs and try get the same pitch on each lug? is that it? i tend to try that and whenever i turn one the rest go up in pitch. i try to compensate but does not seem to work for me. i'd just like to know if thats the right idea of what i should be doing and i'm not missing anything. Cheers

[CloudOfDarkness9999]

@memphisdrumshop Is this the exact sound that you get from the drums or are they micd?

[frankyyfrank]

wow these sound like a dream, all of the c&c's you demoed did too. do you use mics or any sound enhancing things in these?

[memphisdrumshop]

@frankyyfrank No sound enhancing or eq added.

[Cadmiumboy]

@memphisdrumshop I was under the notion that the audio was compressed. no?

[memphisdrumshop]

@Cadmiumboy No compression. Some of our older videos have compression due to the auto gain on the old video camera we used.

[ETONG49]

I love CC drums

[sbryson57]

wow that sounds amazing!

[meinefresse94]

Bass drum Is KILLING, sweet sound Really good tuned...:) some more toms and cymbals and It would be great!!! maybe i'll buy one of these

[sambriggs93]

omg the rack tom

[Drumhero1011]

that floor tom is tuned so perfect.

[Raulieee]

There is Nothing Better Than C&C

[Zambolling360]

That kit makes an awesome sound! :)

[candcbill]

Okay, the abalone is not for everyone but it has a special beauty that only can be appreciated in person.

It took 3 complete days just to apply the abalone to these drum shells. 99% of the drums we build are not abalone and are anywhere NEAR this expensive. Memphis Drum Shop is one of not the best shop in the country. Jim carries the stuffs others only dream of having.

And some of my very BEST friends are endorsers of other drums. i own 2 rogers, 1 camco kit.

heck, I can't afford my drums.

[candcbill]

these shells are 3 ply maple/popular/maple. WITH ONE PLY REINFORCMENT HOOPS. Not a shell on the market to other custom builders... I don;t think.

the reason this kit cost so much is because there is over $1000.00 worth of abalone on the shells. and that is the TRUTH. HAHA

[80sheadbanger963]

man i would use this to record sounds amazing

[patonsky1]

very good drum solo dude could you tell me price of this brand? Is it a brand that you order your kit as you like but not? would be of great help, finding one that suits my degree thanks :)

[FlatLinePulse]

[memphisdrumshop]

6.5x14

9x13

16x16

[XXOAPTRAGEDY]

what kind of head does he have for batter and resonant

[memphisdrumshop]

The heads are stock C&C heads. They are the equivalent of Remo Clear(resonant) and Coated(batter) Ambassadors.

[mondlzac]

Whoa, it comes with stock coated?

On the Toms and Bass?

[memphisdrumshop]

Bass drum comes with a clear batter head and a smooth white front head, not coated.

[Fendermrr]

C&C is the only "custom" drum company I like.

[tankimusprime]

Love that snare. What are the dimensions, heads used, ply etc?

[memphisdrumshop]

14 x 6.5 with C&C stock heads, much like Remo Ambassador.

[d15er]

those are beautiful

[memphisdrumshop]

Zildjian 14" New Beat Hi Hats

Zildjian 17" K Dark Thin Crash

Zildjian 22" K Light Ride

[DBprep8]

Its the construction of the shell..its 3 ply w/ rerings and that gives you the ultimate drum sound..the mixture of think and thin gives you the best of both worlds..These sound great

[westhofer8]

ha well i love it it's a nice filling attack sound

[pwcasellini]

What kind of heads are on this kit? They sound sort of like coated Emperors or maybe even Vintage As.

[memphisdrumshop]

Coated Ambassadors
