I was just going to check you guys out but I found out you were permanently closed. Rest in peace, Greenbrier Music.

I have this kit, love it ❤

24" bass drum? Looks like a 26".

drummer must have come from a drum corps background..excellent traditional grip technique very articulate notes and rolls. I like the 7" deep model..deep fat powerful tone. I've been considering an acrylic shell snare drum so far not overly impressed wtih the offerings (and the ridiculously high prices for acrylic shell drums) on the market but the Pork Pie Pig Lite series (and the range of Pork Pie snare drums in general) impresses me.

Bloody ell!! And i dont swear

Amazing sounds

Just got this kit, needs tuning but I couldn’t be happier!

I myself have used my own method of tuning. My method may not have a common name but it is simple and productive of a good sound. My method is to 1st detune the drum head to zero tension. With the head loose I tighten the first tuning lug until the head makes the first good resonating note that 'sounds good'. When you have tuned the first lug up to the point of producing a good sounding note this is the place to stop tuning. You will use this lug as your base sound from which to match all of the other lugs on the drum. Go around and tighten each lug to achieve that same note or sound that you like. Keep all lugs tightened so that the sound is equal in pitch when tapped with a stick about 1-2 inches in from the rim of the drum head. Tap around the head near the edge by the lug points. Adjust the tuning rods until the sound is even all the way around when tapped near the rim and lugs. This will help to produce a good resonant note. Each drum will be have its own nice sounding 1st note when you tune up from a loose head. This is where I start. I start with the 1st nice resonant sounding note when tuning up from a loose head. This method yields a nice and workable interval. I guess this is tuning to the 1st nicely resonating note, and then going around and finding the 1st nicely resonating note for the rest if the congas. You can always tune 'up' from this base tuning that is based upon the 1st nicely redonating note for each drum. This is a base tuning that delivers a very 'low' base tuning for each drum. You therefore are beginning your tuning experience at a uniform starting point for each drum. That point being the lowest nicely resonating note for each drum. This method can help you understand the ideas behind tuning drums to intervals. These intervals are based upon the 1st nicely resonating note of each drum. The 1st nicely resonating note will be different for each drum because inherent factors of each drum yield a unique sonic signature when tuned in this basic way. Essentially I tune the drum up until it sounds good and stop at this point. This is for me a 'low tuning. I play the drums tuned like this until I decide to tune up to a higher tuning. Then I tune the lug up until I reach a 2nd nicely resonating sound, and this therefore becomes the base tuning for the higher pitched tuning of the drum and I go around and raise the tuning of the lugs to reach the equal sound of the first tuning lug. This method focuses on keeping the tension equal on each tuning lug. Note I use a tuning app on my cell phone to be able to watch the name of the note that I am tuning to as I go around tightening the tuning lugs. Any guitar tuning app will work. You monitor the tuning needle until it centers on the resonant note, as in 'B' all the way around. Hold the tuner within a few inches of the head while tapping near the edge and adjust until all lugs register the same note. This is an accurate and very easy way to ensure even tuning and a nicely resonating drum.

Alex is a pretty talented conga player. Honestly, he's there up Giovanni Hidalgo.

Hey dude, are you still alive? Hope so!

Gr8 with no cymbals and the acoustics are fine. Can't hide anything in there. Awesome🎉

I don't think blindfolded you can tell the difference between manufacturers... six ply maple wood, only the hardware /badges differs... and drumheads

Sounds so great when Alex plays it!

what a shit player

I use the Aquarian super kick 2 on the bass drum and it sounds amazing

they sound fantastic, very musical. they sing

Terrible drumming. Uptight and mechanical. No grooving at all or tension examples from high to low Jazzy funk to rock non existent

What’s the Gretsch series & color name you’re using here?

thanks

What ever happened to this store????, And the owner.????

I have a 1961 gold sparkle kit, a 1988 Champaign sparkle kit, and a 2023 Classic Maple kit in silver sparkle. This green Vistalite is on my radar. Fantastic sound! #Ludwig

Good equipment, bad drummer...

I prefer the 7 piece tama superstar classic drums

I really enjoyed that...and learned a lot. Thank you.

I own the TAMA Superstar classic maple 7 piece set and can definitely the Tamas are way better then these

Your videos are always very informative. Cheers Stephen 🥁🥁👍

Hola. Soy maxi andrini. Tengo una banda que se llama inusitados,que acaba de firmar contrato con Sony music hace menos de tres meses. Sigan nos es Spotify. Yo tengo la.misma batería pero roja

Ludwig gets the nicest Birdseye veneers

I kind of like the cool trashy sound. I'd stop short of calling that kit a "toy".

I made a video and put these toms (or other Sonor toms made from the exact same shells) up against my newly acquired German made Sonor Birch Infinite (SQ1) toms and even I was quite surprised at how well they held up against some of the best made drums in the world. Go check it out for yourself.

damn almost 10 years i’ve had this drum set. it still hold up good i just had to change some pieces but it’s perfect

Hi, can you suggest what bass drum head will work well for a 14-inch bass drum? (genre - jazz/RnB). I am in India and we don't have 14-inch bass drum heads available here. So any alternative that works will be a big help. Thanks!!

What are the sizes?

Them rolls sheeezz

Are the percussion sounds on it? Bongos timbales cowbell?

I found my dream drumset in these never going to get anything else you don’t need to spend a lot of money these days to get a great sounding great quality drumset

Damn!!

I've been looking for this one in your video for a long time, and it's hard to find it

I want to buy this cymbal of the old logo. How can I buy it

Im looking for this drum set if someone has it for sale and willing to deliver it. Let me know thanks!

Getting this kit with the 20 inch kick drum in Bronze sparkle. I have a set of Renouns that are awesome drums. I really like Gretsch drums.

too bad your drum sound is really unnatural. it's very hard to hear the true sound of the cymbals.

Its 800$ due to whatever now

I'm looking at a secondhand Concept Maple kit of this generation, so I definitely appreciate a thorough and totally unbiased review. Although "lots of memory locks, I hate em, throw em out. you don't need em" stopped me in my tracks. Who doesn't like memory locks? Man, I would HATE not having memory locks, especially if tearing down and setting up regularly.

Love the gear and the playing. Best wishes!

does it come in double bass configuration

BASS drum sounds like CRAP. Why put a blanket, pillow, family laundry in a drum. Do you do that with your mounted and FTT toms? The bass drum is the most important drum in all pop music, and should be the loudest drum since it's the largest and have BOTTOM. Your drum sounds like a box.

jail bait

Been using one for the past 12 years. It went on the road with me for years. Held up just fine! I wish they still made them. Thanks for the demo everyone involved.

Hey Steven/Stephan?...you really have an amazing style and touch with your playing and these Sonor drums look and sound fantastic. Nice cymbals too. Peace & best wishes and thanks for uploading good content to KZbin.
