Yo! I’ve stumbled across your station a few times in the past and definitely I liked it but with countless KZbin channels out there and educators it’s hard to stick to one. After watching your Yamaha EAD video yesterday and listening to your beautiful playing with so much space, feel, and proper execution I’m now interested in watching more videos and this will be my next video!

This is an amazing demo! And you played perfectly to demonstrate the sounds of this module. One of the things I’m wondering is how much the tune and sound of the actual acoustic kit influences the sound and outcome of this module. I assume if I was to play a little soon our safari with a 10 inch Tom and 16 inch kick drum it’s going to sound quite a bit different than your kit? Or if you were playing the exact same kit with pinstripes they would be a noticeable difference if you were playing them with coated tuned up?

I’m not exactly sure what Stock heads they use now, but it really depends on the sound that you were looking for. Personally, I like to put a clear ambassador on the bottom or an Evans G1 and for the top if I want the drum to sing a little more with more tone, I use a Remo clear Emperor or Evans G2. And then just experimenting from there. If you want warmer tone and a little more muffle, then use a coated emperor, or coated G2.

Hey man, loved the video! I have a couple questions for you. After having this kit for a little while now, would you say it compares to your other kits in terms of quality and sound, like tama or any of the other big brands? Also, what ended up happening with the floor tom? I felt disappointed for you haha
@babaloop Ай бұрын
Well, I have 6 kits now. 2 Sonors, 2 Tamas, a Yamaha and the Varus. Had DW’s but sold them. The quality of the Varus is top notch. Really well made and a solid kit. I need to experiment more with heads that I’m used to. I usually play Remo or Evans and different variations depending on the shell so I’m still experimenting. My Tama kit sounded like crap until I changed both top and bottom heads so I’ll need more time to be fair. The drums are solid though for the price. The Floor Tom is fine. Had some minor issues but you can’t really tell. Bass drums are cannons!!!

Sounds like you got the Morpheus Wood Series?

Its a tough decision haha!
@babaloop Ай бұрын
@joeydyck3423 I broke down the kit for a gig so I need to set them up again for that sound check. Right now I got my Tamas and Yamahas up. You got some good choices there. It depends on what sound you are going for, how much you want to spend, and are they for live, recording or just home use. The Tamas are great and the quick lock system is the bomb. I’ve never owned a Pearl Maple gum but I have been looking at them closely along with the Reference one. Expensive though. The Varus kit is great but I still need to experiment with some heads like I do with my other kits to be fair. Dont leave out Yamaha! They got some good stuff. I know I’m not helping much but I will say this. Do Not Buy Mapex. I just bought that evolution kit and returned it a week later. It looks great but sounds like a toy. Worst kit I’ve ever owned.

The fat hoop with the red interior is totally boss. It really sets the look of the kit. Mauricio's kit is similar. It's a drag that the shipping got screwed up although I will say Thomas needs to up his game on packing regardless if he's just starting out. On the other hand, if the price of them goes up soon, the little scratch may be a small price to pay for the price they currently are now. Are those lugs solid metal??

The flat finish won't be difficult to repair with a little touch-up paint and some ultra fine grit sandpaper (1500 grit to 4000 grit). Peace, Jon

Varus is just another “custom” drum company made famous by one internet guy, made from mass produced shells just like the plethora of other “custom” companies that was the fad 15 years ago. If you want amazing quality buy a DW collectors series kit. They make their own shells, have proprietary hardware, don’t detune when you play them, hold up to abuse on the road, have excellent customer service, amazing resale value and are guaranteed to be in business in 10 years. Can’t afford DW then buy pearl or Ludwig classic maples. These guys have been in business since 2013 and no one knew them until Estepario came along. Just saying.
@babaloop 2 ай бұрын
@@localdrummerweb I appreciate your feedback and definitely hear what you are saying. With that said, I have owned DW Collectors and my friends have them too and these drums just sound better in my opinion. Maybe it's the Beechwood that they use. Believe me, I am not going to spend $5,000 on a drum set just because some famous dude on KZbin plays them. NO! I did a lot of research before my decision. They don't detune at all. I have been bashing on them for days now. Have you owned a Varus kit and have experienced the things that you are talking about? Have you played with a Varus kit on the road and had to deal with their customer service? Vaus has been in business for over 10 years as well. I think DW, Yamaha, Pearl, and Tama all make great drums. I also own 2 Sonor kits and all these kits sound amazing but Varus definitely stands out for me as one of the better-sounding kits I have played and currently own. I am a collector too, so I do like having many different brands. Your feedback is valid though. I definitely hear you but just curious if you own a Varus kit.

@@babaloop no I’ve never owned one of their kits but I have been playing drums for 27 years. 10 of those years out of Nashville in a touring capacity. In all that time on the road I’ve never even seen one of their kits in person. Never even heard of them til the “groove father” came along lol. I’ve owned all sorts of kits including 5 or 6 Collectors Series kits, 4 Ludwig Classic Maple/Oak kits, several Pearl, Yamaha, Pork Pie kits and so on. I’m glad you like your kit. In the end that’s all that matters. I’m also glad they have been in business for 10 years. DW has been in business for 52 years and Ludwig for over 100 and for the money Varus wants for their drums I’ll take the extra 40 to 90 years experience in drum making from DW/Ludwig every time.

Hi Paul. I hope you see this. I had been listening to an XYZ compilation when "Off To The Sun" caught my attention. I said to myself "Who is the drummer?" and "Is he playing 16ths throughout on the bass drums?" I knew this type of fill from a couple sources, namely Carmine Appice and a brief fast version I learned from Charlie Benante's playing. I have to say though that "Off To The Sun" was like a master class in these types of fills. I went to my Roland kit to give it a shot playing what I thought was continuous sixteenths throughout. Yikes. Doable, but not easy. I couldn't tell though, despite the production being so good on your recording. The drums sound amazing and your playing is so fluid. It sounded to me like sometimes the bass drums were "rolling" all the way through. One phrase ended and I was like "Oh, that one ends on the floor tom. I kept going back to hear your fills again. Play. Repeat. They sound great. Some were just like "Oh, that is just too cool." I searched you out and found your lessons. So, my question is. Were you playing these types of patterns on that track, or were you playing these patterns with continuous (1E+Ah, A2E+Ah etc.) throughout on the bass drums? Whichever, you are a great player and teacher and I was glad to find you and continue to be inspired by your playing all these years later. I wasn't a big fan when I saw XYZ back at the Akron Agora in OH back in the day, since I didn't really know the songs etc., but there's some great stuff you recorded and just know that it continues to inspire, all these years later when someone like me revisits what you did (and are still doing very, very, very well). Great inspiration. Thanks Paul! Cheers!
@babaloop 3 ай бұрын
Thank You my friend! I appreciate all the kind words. Those fills you hear are a combination of 2,4,and 6 notes on top with 2 bass drums on the bottom played as 16ths. It’s a very common fill and I still use them today. Once you combine them in different phrases, you can get really creative with them. I hope this helps answer your question.
