very New Orleans style. beautiful tuning!!! what snare? and do you have the resonant heads tuned a bit higher than batter on toms?

[danthefeline]

@SaltyPenguinAHT Thanks for the comment. Snare is just the one that came with the kit - 14x5 wood, nothing special. They might be.. but I usually tune the heads in unison. New video coming this weekend, keep posted!

Hej Dan, I love this set, it has fantastic sound, I guess it comes from your touch, which everyone can see is excellent. Your control of the dynamics is apparently very good too. But can you tell us a bit more about the tunning and your heads. It's all Evans, stock heads G1? Also, I've seen some negative comments about the snare drum of the Gretch Catalina Jazz Club, but yours has nothing to repproach. What is the head, what snares and what tuning? Best wishes and keep on drumming :)

@Mobby74 Hey man. Thanks for the comment. It's a great kit. I ditched the stock heads and went for G2's on the toms (G1's were a bit too resonant on this kit, even for jazz, G2's are nice and warm but with plenty of tone.) Went for a power centre reverse dot on the snare, hazy 300 underneath and a puresound blaster snare wire. No problems at all in getting a sweet snare sound! Hope this helps.

hey bro do you think that this set will work for diferent music styles including metal im not a metal drummer but some times i play some metal

[danthefeline]

@cletotheboxer Hi! Well.. I think it's a pretty versatile kit. I guess if you wanted to play metal, there's nothing much stopping you. The toms are standard 12+14", the snare is standard 14x5". The only issue might be the bass drum which is 18". Changing all the heads to something more rocky - pinstripes maybe - would be the best solution. In my opinion, skins make up 60% of the drum sound anyway. Good luck!

pretty cool man! check out my channel.

I'm very tempted to buy this kit to start off playing the drums properly, would you recommend it?

[mkokify]

I like your tuning, especially the snare! I have the same kit, but sold the snare since I couldn't get it sound good. Nice grooving also! 

[hiphopsucks96]

@DustyCowdog but he just proved to u that he doesn't need professional mic'ing and mixing to sound bad ass. he could record it through a tin can and he would still sound great

[DustyCowdog]

Nicely done, Brother... I would like to hear that set up mic'd and professionally recorded. I bet you would sound bad-ass.

[l0c0m0nster]

do you ever find that the 18" bass drum gets "lost" im thinking about buying this kit. but i've been told the 18 can get lost in all the sound of a band unless mic'd up.

[SuperJewbot]

hey man nice kit, sounds great, one thing, keep those wrists loose and practice with your metronome, keep jazzing along.

[Tschosi1]

wow, that's amazing :) good job :D
