drum test

[LudwigDrummer42]

nice kit and tour! i like the finish on the mapex drums. how much was the kit?

[dave90mckeague]

@LudwigDrummer42 its a great finish, very similar to the velvetone black panther snare and kit. It was around £600 for 12, 14, 18 in 2008

[alexdrum1996]

wear did you get the 8' tom, and how much was it, if online which site did you get it from, also wat drum heads did you put on the 8'. please respond in video pleze

[aDRNLNcs]

Amazing dude hey can u tell me wich cymbals u use on this song

[MitchellBeazley]

i like the color :)

[meWWWgabi]

change camera

[dave90mckeague]

@meWWWgabi i have done, check out my new videos

[Calcard94]

Sweet jammies!

How do you get your 8" so dead sounding, I quite like that closed sound.

[dave90mckeague]

@Calcard94 to be honest i've livened it up a bit by switching the ec reso to a g1 now. the ec reso/ec2 coated combo were probs why its pretty dead. great for studio stuff though, and for that classic rock tom fill sound.

[Calcard94]

Sweet jammies!

[MrPuffynipples]

good job, id still prefer a 10 in to a 12 in though

[dave90mckeague]

@MrPuffynipples i have a 10 now, got it special ordered since its discontinued...

[Ryanpeacedrums]

Nice drum set i love mapex andpearl and sabian and evans love your drum kit

[GazHasJazzHands]

Amazing sounding drum kit, you should be proud

[koppergtr]

What is the pad called on the batter head on your bass drum?

[dave90mckeague]

@koppergtr its a uni batter badge made by slug percussion. glows in the dark too!!!

[koppergtr]

@dave90mckeague Thank! so would purchasing the evans Ec2 coated be a good decision i have heard good reveiws?

[dave90mckeague]

@koppergtr yeah they're great heads, i've recently switched to the new clear ec2 sst's, mainly as i needed new heads. they do coated ones too though so look into them!

[iteletnap]

this snare is the best I ever played with

i've got the same Dixon, and it's simply incredible

never had to mic it for small club concerts cuz it's so loud lol :)

[metalmanky306]

i love how informative all your vids are. its so helpful and just makes it so easy to find out about your kit and how it sounds. i wish all youtube drummers were like that. 5 stars.

[2LTLim]

Just a thought, are your cymbals screwed on a LITTLE too tight? Lovely sound, by the way, and does the upside-down mounted splash make it susceptible to cracking?

[dave90mckeague]

they do actually seem a bit rigid on this one, but i assure you i never screw them down!lol!

and i've never had a problem with keyholing or cracking, i just had it set up there as i didnt have another mount. loads of guys do it.

check the video response for my new setup!! and thanks :)

[Bobbysk815]

awesome kit man!!!! May

I ask how much the dw5000 double kick pedal is???

[dave90mckeague]

you mean 9000's? i got them 2nd hand for £270 (i think)

was a great deal, they still had the tags and protective films on!

[Bobbysk815]

ye cheers mate!!! :-)

[dave90mckeague]

yeah i thought it was, just slipped my mind at the time of recording! iv got a bc2000 now too, gotta love pearl hardware i think its the best around. iv put up a vid about it recently.

and thanks! its just my accent i guess, light-yorkshire english!

[Aldostl]

GREAT KIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Luca1234566]

How much ?

[Pandanobear]

Damn looks great. sounds good as far as I can tell. I'd like to hear a better quality vid of the kit tho.

[dave90mckeague]

yeah this one dont really d it much justice (as im sure is the problem on most youtube vids)

When i remember to take a camcorder to the studio there'll be a better one up.

[Motorheadrummer]

WHAT is that fierce ride doing on the corner??

great set, love the cymbals :D

[dave90mckeague]

lol, i just didint have the cymbal stands to fit it on lol!

its an awesome cymbal but i wouldnt recommend it as a primary ride, unless you play either bebop or drum n bass exclusively. and thanks! iv recently got some new ones and will get a better quality vid up next time i remember to take a vid camera to the studio

[dave90mckeague]

sorry mate, my first video!

[hhuuffpp]

Nice kit, love the cymbals!

whats with the pearl masters tom though? sticks out like a sore thumb

[dave90mckeague]

*cough* masterWORKS * cough* lol!!!

seriously though birmingham drum centre had it on special for £50 so couldnt lat that bargain go (as im sure you know how much they would cost to custom order!!!) and i know it looks out of place but it really does sound amazing so cant complain!

re the cymbals thanks! iv recently acquired some 14" hhxcelerators and a sabian prototype ride which has recently been released as the new vault 3-point ride (vids up soon)

thannks again, dave

[sambo1711]

looks nice. wouldn't like having a different make 8" but it's all personal preference. if you pop on my page there's a couple vids you may be interested in. peace

[dave90mckeague]

i know it looks a bit stupid but i would be an idiot to have a masterworks tom and not use it! and the vids look good bro!

[iteletnap]

i've got the same snare bro and it's amazing, it has a great sound

[drummaboy15]

your finish is amazing and so is your snare..whole set sounds and looks rreaaallly good man

[dave90mckeague]

thanks mate, some people say it looks a bit mismatched (which i guess it is!) but i love it! im looking for a 10" tom and 14" floor too fill the kit out a bit (and maybe a 22" kick and put the 18" off to the side with a remote pedal) but since pro m has been replaced with meridian theyre hard to find, especially in the same finish. wish i had enough cash to get a masterworks kit to match my 8" tom though!

[drummaboy15]

haha i hear you here man...i have a gretsch catalina birch and im trying to get an 8" tom but theyre hard to find with my finish...yea i seee where you going with expanding your kit...i love your cymbals haha but yea your right gotta have the bills to get the goods

[dave90mckeague]

thanks! yeah i need some more shells to balance it out i think. got a few more cymbals already! (you can see a few on the table in the background). and just got a permanent teaching job so you never know...lol! awkward trying to find shells to match though yeah

[drummaboy15]

haha well good for you man..ive been teaching here and there to a couple of my friends but nothing real big but yea i agree they never have the shell you want haha

[jedipudu]

Very nice. Good to see some simplicity in a kit.

[Volksgranadier]

the mic is broken, change it

[Fernandogomezdrums]

wow your toms sound AMAZING

[dave90mckeague]

thanks man, the heads have alot to do with it.  edge control really is awesome

[Martinthedrummer]

ec2?

[dave90mckeague]

yeah, ec2 coated over ec reso's

[musicftw1]

13 by 4 <33

[twindrummers64]

[dave90mckeague]
