@dhonnar I think Its on 91 for top and 81 on bottom. Its extremely tight! My snares not the stock forum snare though, its a pearl steel piccolo 13x3.

@kitty8sam1 think I have my snare on like 91 but the lugs wont budge haha. Its a steel piccolo though so its meant to be tight. Just keep practicing tuning, I retuned the other day and recorded some stuff and they sound great!

Mate, i have the same kit, but with Remo Pinstripe heads on toms and a Remo Powerstroke 4 head on my snare, and it doesnt sound anything like that. I have the kit in my carport, with open walls, so sound just travels straight out, also its on concrete, would this affect it a lot? And how did you tune them. Like how much looser are the resident heads than the top heads? Also, do you have any muffling in your bass drum?

@dforcefan1213 /dude i have the same.. and i use a drumdial and have tried tuning in lower then higher and still cant get it to sound that good, Were you able to get you snare past 82 on the drum dial? I couldnt.

@DrumtekDrums I also a Peal Forum, I am very satisfied, I do not understand the bad reputation of poplar shells, I think it also depends on the quality of construction. I changed the Hi Hat Stand for a 900. I changed the heads on the snare whit Evans EC1 and 300, the result is amazing. However, I can not have a good result with the bass. I want to change the heads of the toms, I very like Evans, therefore G2 or EC2?

Great sounding kit! I love the bass drum!

What's better ? Export ELX 5 or Forum?

@lgalovic1 The Elx is a better quality kit. The shells are better quality and there are better quality hardware and fittings used.

Holy crap I have the original pearl forum (not the fz) i have remo pinstripes on my batter sides of my toms and clear ambassadors on the reso and they sound flat and papery nothing like the ones in this video sound! I also tune with a drum dial. I'm trying to figure out why they don't sound good could it be the room?

@dforcefan1213 there are so many variables to look into why the drums dont sound like they do in this video.
We wouldn't be able to tell you whats wrong.
Even though tuning with a drum dial there is still a chance that your tuning to the wrong tensions.
Drum dials dont tune the drums for you they just tell you precisely how to get the tension that you know works on your drums,
So if some one doesnt know how to tune drums and they try and use a drum dial it wont work.

I find it impressive how good it sounds with stock heads.

@ChimPiZGaY
Then imagine what it sounds like with A set of A grade skins on it.
