Toms and bass sound good, but I like a wood snare sound more. Wood snares produce a more natural crack to them that metal drums or in this case acrylic drums don't produce.
@QuickestQuickChop They are indeed as sturdy and reliable as any maple, birch, or any wood set. I have a Gretsch Catalina lacquer finish maple set as well as my acrylic Ludwig Vistalites and the Vistalite drums are heavier and thicker than the Catalina drums. Also as mrdrumstixx asked they would absolutly not shatter if dropped. In fact I believe wood drums would be at least as easy to damage if not easier than the acrylics. As I said before, take care of them and have them practically forever.
@QuickestQuickChop My Vistalite set is 38 years old and still in really good shape so like anything else, if you take good care of it it will last a long time. I suspect when they get the spider cracks around the lugs it's from someone having taken them off then overtightening when putting them back on or other cracks or splits come from dropping a drum or not paying attention and bashing one into a wall corner while moving them etc. Treat them with care and have them practically foerever.
@gman10911 Thanks for the advice! I am looking to order an acrylic kit like this, for its great sound. Would you say there just as sturdy/reliable as a maple kit?
that sounds super good i'd like to hear the bass drum a bit better though, I don't feel the video captured it completely but the rest of the kit sounds great
@Psychostick1 The pros of an acrylic kit are they are non-porous so you don't get any bad unwanted over-ring on the toms as you heard on this guys video like you do with a lot of wood sets. You get that nice solid crack from the snare and the bass usually has more "punch" to it again without too much over-ring. Also, they are the coolest looking drums on stage (I have a blue acrylic Vistalite set).
The cons are they could develop small cracks to all out splits (especially if they have seams)
I didn't realize an acrylic kit could sound this good! I'm imagining how bad ass I would feel bringing these drums to a gig. Without doubt a fantastic conversation piece.
This drum set looks and sounds amazing...which I believe is in no small part to how they mic their drums for these videos. I wish I knew how they mic their kits!!!
Fantastic sounding drum kit - nice, deep, fat sound. It temps me to try the acrylic shells over my current maple DWs. The drummer doing the demo is great in all the various drum and cymbal demos he does - amazing talent!
i understand the fat sound of an acrylic snare, the punch of the rack toms, and the depth of the floor toms. however, what is the bass drum like?, does it "mimic" a type of wood?, is it more punchy then a standard wood bass drum? please someone explain to me the uniqueness of a acrylic bass drum.
Well, you can always go fo rthe drumstore option, they will usually tune them for you. But, it's something you have to learn yourself. Check out the drum tuning bible, it explains EVERYTHING and is a very good guide to how to get the best sound out of your drums. Just google the Drum tuning bible and you'll find it. :) good luck man!
Before everyone gets too critical , We must remember he is trying to show us how the drums sound. It is not about him, it is about the drums and he keeps that in mind as he lets the drums resonate so we may hear them properly.
Those look amazing! Great sound too.
