[ilovethenewdaze]

...can you do something besides single stroke rolls? Not that there isn't any variety or anything....

[mrvegas9898]

my god that snare rings beatufuly

[LeeHaydn]

Managed to listen for around 40 seconds hoping you was going to hit someting else other than that fuckin' snare,,

[larswarlock]

great drumming i think the ones who hate it are just jealous bitches who don't want to admit they're not as good as you ;)

[thrasid]

@larswarlock are you dreaming doude ?you have sence of houmor for shure, this kid it suks....

[grooveroid]

awesome playing dude.. people who say this is bad drumming...haha. i've been playing for 30+ years and I can safely say this is some serious chops...

[indieHindleyMusic]

46 good drummers disliked this

[stupidseacucumber]

Yaaaaaayyyy 20,000 views!!! ahhhh buttholes!!!! If you guys all hate this video so much then why do i have 20,000 views?!?!? im cool as shit

[pearldrums9]

It kindve looks like the same finish Barry Kerch of Shinedown has on his Ref Kit.

[stupidseacucumber]

@pearldrums9 yeah its a pretty nice looking color! and i got it when they only made 40 of these kits as alimited run color :S they didnt bring this color option out until the next year

[DaltonDrums]

Terry Bozzio Syndrome on the snare. :S

[wildchilddrummer]

dude fix ur freaking form.. ur gonna get athritis really fast... were not robots ok? were humans with arms that bend.

[carabata64]

jajaja que te agarro electricidad ???

[bangindamusic84]

Ever heard of the phrase "drop the needle"?

This is 7 minutes of the same boring loud shit.

Beautiful kit, but please, play with some dynamics and musicality or something.

[smithdrummer95]

grow some balls pussy. u blow at drums fag

[bcancun123]

too tinny sounding for my taste sound like a pail

[5drum5]

Cool, as I watch you play. I realize how much I hate Pearl hardware. AAAHHHH! DW hardware is the best, believe that! Change it up man! Same fills over and over! Hope this helps!

[metalheadrapper]

hey i was wondering what exactly is a drum reference?

[libssck]

I love my Pearl Reference kit in Granite Sparkle. I bought it when they first came out. My only complaint was the weight....very heavy drums...I got tired of lugging them around to my gigs. Now they are in the music room for practice.

[pdrumsftw]

SOOO, how do your parents listen to this all day...?

[HamburgerTrain]

Yo dude relax... You're not supposed to be tense while drumming..

[skermisher95]

too much snare otherwise great :) LIKED

[infernapedude]

at 2:26 you get like one minute of decent playing, then snare crap and more kit destruciton...

I wonder if this guy's actually testing the kit somewhere in a pearl factory? I mean, it would make perfect sense: If he can't break it/ cause it terrible damage, no one else can!

[petealk12]

u guys are hilarious, thanks for the laughs,,lol

[drow5001]

okok. time to call the cops bc of domestic violence on a high quality instrument.. what does everyone else think?

[drummerralph7]

dude if i had the reference series i wouldnt torture it on the internet the way you did in this video.

[Gretsch931]

So, just wondering, do you hate Pearl? Cause I don't think that anyone in their right mind would play all that shit on a Reference, go buy some Sound Percussions, they'll match your level of skill. Noob.

[BangDrumsDan]

I was just wondering who do I contact on getting back my 6:45minutes of my life back after watching this shit?.

[pearlxzildjian]

nice kit though...

[sweetfly66]

this is AWFUL .... buddy , stop already you SUCK

[Drumking2112]

Dude y do all these fags just go nuts all time why do you need to know this horse shit this ramble of fills wont fit in a song

[aronizer]

Why do all these douchebags on youtube have such nice kits?

Wish I had the money :P

[allinstylez84]

yeah drummers need to check the audio quality before posting some stuff on here,.. my speakers hate it when i click on on some of these vids,, this one isnt too bad, but you know a little folded piece of TP over the mic on the camera would have made this sound alot better

[freich10]

Shit, sounds like we're in a fucking warzone.

[thowmas2]

it looks like you sped the video up so it makes it look like you can play faster, bad times :/

bro you should listen to what the other guys say, work on your groove man...and also its heaps better to learn at a slower pace then gradually speed it up so you lock the movements into muscle memory, not try and blast the hell outta the kit for 7mins! but hey, good luck with it!

[YourDailyLaughz]

Waste of a beautiful kit.

[muzicalgod]

i agee

[xhilikus]

Dude.. chill the hell out and just groove. Nobody except for totally newbies could possibly be impressed by this.

[funkrock94]

but what's this noise ?

[killswitchavenger]

omg i wanted one of these kitts so bad!

butt there fuckkn expensive!

ugh, damm ehh ohh well, ima gett one soon

hey what size is your bass?

[OpioidesAnalgetikum]

Wow... except for a very few occations you did the same thing for almost 7 minutes. Doesnt this get boring?

[thatguylikespie]

lol i love the kit love how it sounds and think the heart attack with sticks should do some covers so we can see that he can actually play ^^ jk man i <3 this vid

[PodmornicaFTW]

i kinda like it, but as said before by other commentators, feel the groove, don't just speed it up silly...

remember, faster isn't always better...

[habbib93]

fucking mad man , i love your style similar to what i like

[tippmann116]

yay 10,000 views ahhh buttholes

[loosenutlambert]

It would have been nice if you had settled down and let the sounds breath a little. Ever heard of dynamics or groove. What a wast of beautiful equipment. Oh well at least you got them. Now you can start learning to play I guess. Good luck.

[LeDrumster]

Thank you for taking the time to post this video..

That is a beautiful kit, and I'm sure your very pleased to be sat beside her.

Tama vs Pearl? Ayotte vs Pearl? I've been looking for my next high spec kit... Ayotte nearly got me, then I learned of the Pearl R Series with the Snares of 20ply?

What does that much ply do to the sound?

Great chops man.

LD

[tippmann116]

yeah its 20 ply. 20 ply belive it or not might sound overboard with too many plys, but its perfect! it has amazing tuning capabilty with lots of attack, but it has great warmth to it and ita lound as hell. the snare is ultimatly versatile. mant will say its the best snare you could possibly want

[LeDrumster]

Thank you for the reply.. That was very handy information.

I've done as much research as I can take.. and the Pearl reference series is the serious choice.

I've seen your kit, with gold hardware.... 2up.. 2down kick and snare going for £4999!!

[thrasid]

@LeDrumster do you think that he has an idea of what are you talking about ? doute?

he is kiling the set dont you see ? another spoil kid with a rich dad

[stupidseacucumber]

@thrasid actually my dad is middle class and I bought this with my own money that I worked really hard for working at hardware store. thank you though, and I just did a bunch of this shit to try and impress my ex girlfriend who at the time WAS my girlfriend so I uploaded it... i wasn't trying to be amazing sounding at all.... but if you would like to know ive gotten good enough that I am in college for playing the drums so what can you say about where you have gone with playing the drums?

[joeyhoeyca]

not my favorite color. but it sounds good and thats what counts. nd yes a bit too much snare lol but i'de be the same way the first time i played a kick ass snare like that.

[2wakko]

good chops man... i cant wait til i get me a Reference Kit... In Natural Maple...

[tippmann116]

thanks man! and yeah ooo those are beautiful kits! reference is the way to go!

[drummercymbalsamples]

I just saw antiflag live and I'm pretty sure their drummer is using the exact same drums. Pearl reference, 4 piece, green sparkle. Except he has fewer cymbals

[maggotvenger94]

Really nice drumming and nice sounding kit, but way to much snare drumming..

[tippmann116]

yeah i know, i love to use that snare alot, i just felt like posting a vid, wasnt trying to impress people, but im alot better than this vid. ive made it into college playing drums lol. but yeah the kit sounds amazing, especially in person, thanks!

[izztin]

Great stuff, that snare sounds wicked for the solo you are playing.

[tippmann116]

thanks man for the positive feedback! yeah the snare is amazing!! the reference snare and the Tama Warlord snares are the best out there

[drdo1988]

horrible playing.....can you play music and not sport? i like playing hard but you suck...at least in this video

[hanyngve]

What a nice dancebeat.

[suspendedanimation24]

muy ruidoso!!! no conoces el silencio aun, dedicate a la murga

[pookapookalookalooka]

jesus christ man quit hitting the snare like that. You dont just look bad but it sounds bad too. Quit trying to be like dennis chambers and DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

[wildchilddrummer]

@pookapookalookalooka i know right..

[mapexlb]

some good solid fills in there, just gotta broaden you're fill vocab. try some tripplets or some more funk type stuff in between...

[cheezycheeseman]

all this is is speed, don't get me wrong its awesome, just after about 2 minutes it gets a bit boring. Great playing though!

[DylanCanSing]

thanks man, i acknowledge that as constructive criticism so thanks for giving tips

[cheezycheeseman]

I'd still be gobsmacked to watch you play this for real though, it is great!

[senseoftaste]

roll.

[drums6969]

dope kit son!

[BakerTheDrummer]

Good. But you know whats even better? Doing the exact same thing but with adding some groove to it.

[joe3drums]

You got serious chops man(hands and feet). Now lets hear some pocket and some style.

[flamwork06]

What happen to just laying down a good simple feel good grove??? No disrepect!! POCKET??

[PhantomSocke]

a simple feel good groove is - well - simple.

[Jackrabbitschnip]

I agree lets hear some grooves. enough complex solos

[BFrost1]

that's def the best reference finish! i think I'd prefer the gold hardware though

[KarlovackoFan]

you would sound the same on 5 times cheaper drumset!!!!its complete waste of money for you

[tippmann116]

Obviously u've never played on a Reference set before because u woodn't be sayin that.

[KarlovackoFan]

I would not said that if I dont know what i am talking about!but its your choise,the most important thing is that you are happy with that drumset!!!

[tippmann116]

lol yeah i love this kit!

[dmaciupa]

Then why did you feel the need to knock him in the first place? Either apologize or stand your ground. Don't take a shot at somebody and then backpedal.

[24635701011]

fuck off man!

[Armistace]

I kind of agree. You dropped some dime on that thing just to hit it hard and fast, you coulda done that on anything. Maybe look into some Bernard Purdie.

[linkenass]

Magnificient kit wasted on this...oh well..

Very redundant...

[hfranke07]

You have all the technique and skill to play some great drums,- but like many other comments tell you, it's to fast and plain. If you plaid the same moves 50% slower, they would sound much better. Try to listen to my all time favorit drumsolo,- Ian Paice of Deep Purple on "The Mule" from "Made in Japan". This will show you how speed, groove and technique can be mixed in to a great solo..... love your snare sound...

[rjproud]

slow down and groove dude

[tannercellis]

Josh Freese once said in an interview playing super fast is not as impressive as playing super slow. Try doing that once.

[kojlak]

eeee... ;/

[rtniels]

omg please stop raping that refence kit. Slow down, put some groove in it. What you'r doing now is nothing but noise to me

[tr3monti]

boring dude..

[rjproud]

too sloppy mannnn....

[shockwave122]

Cool set :)

[spikeman23]

snare sounds like it's cranked too high , sounds good though.

[daehkcarc]

Did you play the snare in band? You damn sure use the hell out of it.  Nice job though and that is a killer set you have!!

[tippmann116]

Thanks!Yeah I play the snare in band alot, but i play everything.I use it so much cuz its my favorite drum outta my kit. Its the best snare ive ever heard!

[6stringevil6]

awesome, i am saving up for a 7 piece in shimmer of oz!

[lousycandle]

I dont have it all set up but i have another 18" bass drum, 8" tom, 12" tom, and a really sweet drum rack for this too.

[ggamerdude]

crazy

[phatphace]

Great set man. Personally, i don't like pearl that much but your kit is ace.

[LOUD7]

nice drums. love how they look too.

[tippmann116]

Thanx man. I think they look pretty spiffy too! its that awesome green color that just made me want to get them and they sound AMAZING!

[LOUD7]

how much this drum kit cost if you dont mind me asking?

[tippmann116]

It was $2400 for the 14" floor tom, 10"tom, 12" tom(not pictured), and 22" bass drum. I got the 16" floor tom for free as part of the deal. The snare came separate which was $525.

[DylanCanSing]

you suck
