Great video! Took the mystery out of running one of these setups. It definitely looks like a significant investment though.
@babaloop Күн бұрын
It can get expensive but if you are only using it for in ears and willing to use wired cables, you can get the less expensive Behringer XR18 or 16 by itself and the get those Behringer Power monitors that plug into the XLR cables for your in ears and get everything for less that $600.00 with KZ headphones. So just get the mixer, some headphones and the P2's and that would be a good starting point.

I am glad you are happy with them, but I don't really see anything that the top companies have not been producing for 30+ years. That tom mount look very similar to a pearl IMS. I wonder what Sonor kits you have as they have been doing this in the Designer/SQ2 series since 1996. matt finish is super easy to scratch and shows up everything
@babaloop 2 ай бұрын
They don’t make Tom mounts. All the stands that I have are from Tama. They only make drums. I’m very happy with the kit, but it all depends on what you are looking for. I like the idea that I can custom make my sizes.

It would seem that a drum beater would have to go past vertical to actually make contact with the batter head due to the pedal not being able to get as close when mounting on that ridiculously fat hoop. Is this indeed the case?

I hear what you’re saying but no, that’s not the case. The front hoop is only for the front side of the head. The batter side is normal.

@babaloop 5 ай бұрын
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 5 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!!!
@joeydyck3423 5 ай бұрын
@@babaloop If you are still going to do a sound check and all that for the Varus, I look forward to that video! Out of curiosity, which Varus did you get? Sounds like you got the Morpheus Wood Series? I am really on the fence with a few options for kits, one being the Varus, the others being the Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch, Pearl Masters Maple/Gum, and the Mapex Saturn Evolution Maple/Walnut. Its a tough decision haha!
@babaloop 5 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. And yes, I bought the Varus Morpheus

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??
