Gil Sharone Plays DW Drums

We here at DW are pleased to announce that our long-time hardware & pedal artist, Gil Sharone, is now a Full-Line endorser of DW Drums. Gil gave us some much great playing footage, that we couldn't help but include all of it in this video. Gil also speaks about his "gravitation" towards DW Drums and highlight some of his favorite qualities about his favorite drum company.

Gil has worked on more live and studio projects than we can list, but for more details, you can visit his personal website:

You can also buy his new DVD "Wicked Beats" off his site.

All drum kit audio was recorded using only the Zoom H4n Handy Recorder place 3.5 feet high and 10 feet away directly in front of the bass drum. Not only is this mic/recorder super-convenient, but we also feel it give the most honest and natural sound...as if you were standing in the room.

How do these drums perform in the studio? I've heard a number of recordings of DW collector's series drums EQ'd and all that and they sound fantastic but how do these respond in those circumstances? I like the singing tonality of DW's and the versitility in the snare and bass drums to exactly what you want them to do. It just seems to me that the snares and kicks in the classics series are less versitile. Can anyone speak to this?

@kemallett We will let some people chime in first. For a good refference of what a good mix of different drums sound like with a Zoom H4N mic check the link below and let us know what you think. :)

Nevermind my last question. I found the FAQ section of the DW site and found out what to do.

[DrumWorkshopInc]

@TheProphetOfWrath Ok sounds good. Thanks for choosing DW!

[VITVBAND]

absolute killer drummer, one of my favorite modern drummers around. versitile and still a unique style of his own

[funkymunkydrummer]

@speedoflite1 in what way? i think he's doing all that with ease and great feel! cheers!!

[SERCHSOS3722]

Please DW: for your next videos use mics instead of zooms :)

[TheProphetOfWrath]

I know I'm REALLY far from this, but what does it take to be a DW artist? Fame and talent? I've asked other drum-related companies questions before and they usually never answer. You guys actually care and answer people's questions. Also, to add on to that, you make incredible drums and hardware. I got the PDP X7 yesterday and I don't think I'll ever swap that for anything other than an actuall DW set. So if you could tell me the steps to get to endorsement that would be great. : )

@Rushfan551 Anytime! We are here to help.

@DrumWorkshopInc

Thanks, it helped a lot.

[DrumWorkshopInc]

@Rushfan551 It could be the way the high hat is set up. With a 2 leg high hat you might get a little more "dance" compared to the 3 legged set up. The 2 leg should do the trick and can be very sturdy with a double pedal set up.

[Rushfan551]

I love DW and especially DW 9000 hardware series, but why does the hi hat stand keeps "dancing"? It's funny. Please someone answer seriously.
