Scored one of these today for FREE! it is awesome.

I have the Tama Classic. I purchased a second bag to carry my pedal, tom stand, floor tom legs, and drum throne stand. I recommend getting a second Tama Classic case

Perfect, thanks…have been debating this unit and you’ve answered it for me!

What cable do you use from the metronome to the mixer for the click

I just wanted to see what they changed from the original. The plastic nut where the spring goes and the pedal pin, This helped me decide that if I want a new one I'll just get the non foldable as there is no value in this one for me.

I’m jealous, I never looked up the other wraps, the black wraps with the wood hoops on the kick look so clean, I found the cream marble wrapped one and got it for myself as a present years ago I don’t know what it is about this kit, it brings a different energy to my playing and style, I own 3 kits and it’s my smallest by far but really bring out this jazzy & bass & drum style out of me every time I sit down on it Truly in love with this beauty

Thanks for making this. I have the Tama Lightweight set, but i would like to mount my 12 x 8" tom off a cymbal stand. I wonder would the Crosstown cymbal stand handle that?

I play in a local community band and some of our shows take place in parks - no stage, set up directly on ground. Will these hold up on slightly uneven ground?

An honest insight into the reality of being in a function band....good stuff.

free drumstick lollies? awesome was that on your rider?. Great vid

Please call it a throne, a drum throne don’t call a stool lol

Excellent review, Thank you! Very helpful

Excellent teacher. As clear as crystal... Subscribe.

Cheers, enjoyed this instruction, I will check out your other videos.

Your hardware looks great quality!

Excellent video, cleared out any doubts I've had on buying this kit! Especially after seeing how it all fits in the 3 cases

Great video Chris, I just need to learn the fretboard now (backwards because I’m a lefty)

Sweet

I ordered this bag years ago and have been happily using it ever since. Main reason for me to buy it was to reduce the amount of bags/cases i have to carry around when going to gigs in public transport. Or going to band practice on a bike (as we do in the Netherlands 😏) The bag has never failed me to this day and is still sturgy. No problems with zippers whatsoever.

What's the point of being outside for this video?

What heads do you recommend on this kit?

So I’ve just done a rehearsal with the Tama stuff and the cymbals stands were pretty solid to be fair. Good floor though and not too loud etc … both great hardware sets

Been loving my Crosstowns since day one ❤

I use the Yamaha Crosstown, love them, but I wish they would make a Crosstown boom stand

I've also used both these sets, and they're both very good. I have not had any problems with the tama cymbal stands at all. I play a big ride cymbal quite heavily and the stand has been very sturdy. I imagine if you're in a metal outfit typ of band it would not suffice, but I am not, so it will. I did a few gigs on the yamaha stands without a carpet (house kit) and they really do move around alot more than the tamas. For me the looks of the tama, ease of setup, memory locks and very small size when folded together really seals the deal. I fit four tama cymbal stands, hihat stand, snare stand, floor tom legs, rack tom holder and my bass drum legs in the tama bag with room to spare, which is incredible. Cheers, and thanks for the review.

Love these stands. I put a great big 22" ride on these guys and have not had a single issue. Excellent in every way. I also have a Club Jam (as a secondary kit) and the portability of that combination is incredible.

Question: how do you sync the backing mix with the rest of The band at the start of the song?

Ah. We've all been there where the wait feels wasted after delivery arrival. I'm sorry. Maybe different style bass drum hoop claws? Like the dw ones

Very helpful video thanks bro I have a rydeen kit but I am getting a Yamaha stage custom kit for my birthday

2:35 are those my missing socks?

Great room. Sorry if I missed it but what company did you use?

Thank you for making it easy to follow !

Big help thanks mate

i just picked this kit up off fb for $250. i absolutely love it. i have a spare pdx8 mesh pad i have it used as a 4th tom but now i want to use 1 extra crash but not sure how to go about it. im using the crash 2 output from module for the 4th tom

Very nice review thank you

How much does it weigh?

I found one at Guitar Center yesterday and here I am, watching reviews. I just blew $400 on a crash. Might get thrown out on m'butt if I bring this home. 😂

Nice! Rezo tuned to a G and off you go!🥁

I’ve got one in sea-foam green. Spot on!

Looking forward to the comparison video between both the Yamaha and Tama.

I’ve been using the Yamaha Crosstown Hardware for about 18 months now. I added an extra cymbal stand and I can say, without doubt that these are absolutely superb quality. They’re light, easy to use, easy to set up and break down. I do have two other Yamaha boom stands in my set up, but these are a real game changer in lightweight hardware. Great summary video!

Brilliant content Chris. Was very close to going down this route myself but two factors put me off. Firstly, call me lazy but there's no way I'm taking them out of the cases before and after every rehearsal and gig. I want to be setup and takedown ASAP. Secondly, I mount toms from my cymbal stands and was concerned that they might mark the aluminium or even dent it... Amazing creation but not for me. Keep up the great work 👍 🎶 🥁

I have the same kit and totally agree with most you’ve mentioned. I also have a Tama Starclassic Bubinga kit which is in a different league. That kit comes out for gigs or when I player heavier music. The Club Jam is so easy to cart around tho and with decent heads on sounds great.

How can I learn drums and not annoy neighbours? And not plonk away on rubber mats.

How much you spend for all of that?

Hey My click channel sounds at very low volume in my music channel, do u know why this happens?

If you do want something light and portable go for Club Jam Pancake. You get the most portable option ever. With a bit of play around the tuning and changing the heads, you can get this thing sound really good

Looking at these as well. Would also like to do the Club Jam-style cymbal mount; would save lugging around an extra stand. I have an INde arm I use for that, though.

Nice

I feel like you could have moved it a little to the right a little though…
