what kit is this?

[DrumsonSALE]

@alamanjar This is a Ludwig Accent CS Custom Elite Glitter kit - This video was shot over two years ago and unfortunately they are no longer available.

i think one of my hoops are uneven what do i do

[DrumsonSALE]

@hermetcrab45

You may be able to bend the hoop into shape if it is a drastic problem; Place the hoop on the ground and press on it with your body weight - If not, you may be able to compensate a bit by tuning the head looser in the bent areas and tighter everywhere else (try to bend it back into shape - but this does not always work) -- If things are really bad, contact the manufacturer/retailer so they can get you a replacement.

great video, i got one of em pearl target series.

the bad part is i think i set my drums in a not so bad positions, and also tuned the bass and floor drum wrong... (tuned em to the point of no wrinkles, not so much tho)

if i re-tune them, will it go bad and needed to be replaced with a new batter head?

@vampire96blood

No, you won't need to replace heads unless they are damaged: so go ahead and loosen or lower the tension on those drums to where ever you like it!

Great job with this video. My daughter will be thrilled to see her new drum set in the morning.  I can finally join the rest of my family, dreaming of sugar plums this Christmas Eve.

thanks mate!!

[thejesman]

Thanks a million, dude. I bought my sister a kit for Christmas, neither of us had ever set one up before. We were seriously lost for hours until we found this video then it all came together. If we hadn't, it probably would've ended up looking like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Thank again, dude, you're awesome.

When I push on my bass it doesn't even wrinkle

[Rlsmootify]

Dang that's a loose bass drum?

[Boy9Music]

See the problem is I only trust Pearl drums because most of my fave bands use pearl like Three Days Grace. I'm not sure if i would get Ludwig. But thx for posting this vid I'm gonna watch it when i get my own set!
