No offense taken don't worry! This is a presentation of the raw sound of each shell, with the heads I chose to use. As said in the video, sound research of the snare drum takes a while video to share, so I really focused on the toms' sound in that video. And in my style of music, almost all drummers use triggers to capture the kicks. But to hear the full kit, mixed and produced, please wait for the first cover I will release ! On my channel, the next video will be the comparison (and sound research) of eight different Puresound snare wires, and then the first cover with that new kit ! Hope I answered to your question, and that you understand why I chose to do it like this. Cheers from France !

I do not know that song but I will check it out 😉

Thank you for watching! You have the OG one?! What a rare piece of gear nowadays! I asked around me and on my instagram story if someone had one, but negative… hopefully André lent me his Z Custom 2007! Earthride is a great cymbal too! Do you have any video of the OG Mega Bell Ride? 😇 Cheers from France!

Live camera and it did happened.

I wasn’t properly mixing at that time… that’s true! Please check my most recent videos as these have a better production, video and audio! For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYC7h51mmtBnhc0 Tell me what you think!

Any technique played at really fast tempos won’t sound. Acoustic kick played really fast doesn’t have any attack and produce like a buzzing sound. So triggers are needed to have a consistent sound. It is just like using distortion over an electric guitar 😉

I can't find anyone who can help me with this problem, the same thing happened to me with other triggers I had from my country and I was never able to figure out what it was due to... I was never able to configure correctly to be able to use all the techniques... I hope you can help give me a hand since I tried many configurations and did not find the solution, yesterday I spent 4 hours trying and I can't. I can't find the problem, thank you very much in advance.

Hi there! Sorry for the delay of answer! So about your triggering problem, first questions are: - Do you bury the beater into the head, like do you let the beater touches the head when you aren't hitting? - What is the head you are using? Do you have it tightened or pretty loose? Personally, my beaters never rest on my kick drum heads when I am not hitting it, so the trigger is touched only when I want a hit to fire! Then, I use mesh heads for years on my kicks, very tight tension! And the tension is very important as the head will physically move a little bit, and the more it is loosened, the more the amplitude of the head is big. And it will make it less precise for the detection. For your FootBlaster triggers, the footplate needs to touch the sensor on the angle, not on the flat side. And lastly, about the trigger settings. Input: PADx2 Type: RT-30k Start with sensitivity all the way up, threshold all the way down. Curve: LOUD2 RetrigCancel sets the minimum time possible between two samples, so faster you play, smaller it needs to be. XtalkCancel: 20% Start playing and decrease the sensitivity until it doesn't get all the hits, increase it a little. Then do the same thing with the Threshold by increasing it until some hits aren't triggered and lower it a bit. Continue playing and make little adjustments to make it work for you, set to your techniques! My settings are my personal ones that was adjusted over a year before being these ones and didn't change at all since then! Hope it helps, Do not hesitate to tell me if it is better! Cheers from France!

My RetrigCancel is at 2, but if you do not play faster than 240 for example, it can be increased 😉

@@ThomasCremier Do you have a social network to chat with and can you explain the problem I have? I can show you a video...

@@pudritiblastof course! It is @thomas_cremier on instragram or Thomas Crémier on Facebook 😉

If someone sells his ! But as I became a legendary ride, it is complicated to find one…

My pleasure man! I am happy to read this 😊

Thank you very much for watching !! Which one is your favourite ? ✨

@@ThomasCremier the OG

@@StepBruthaz I understand why! Cheers!

Thanks!! I did a video explaining how to play such a technique, here it is : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqa6emaXf9-kd7c Thank you for watching! Cheers from France !

@@ThomasCremier I think I watched that 5 years ago and was blown away by how simple a technique it is. Well, you make it look simple anyway! Thanks for the reminder - I really want to finally play double kicks well after 40 years of not doing so good!

@@funland108 Oh thank you for watching it years ago 😉 Totally! When you get the motion right, the technique is pretty simple, but of course to play faster and faster it asks some training but it lets us play relaxed and have a lot of stamina! I wish you will be able to play what you wanna play!

Yeah the UV2 is a wide sounding with a long sustain and… extremely durable! Happy you still think the UV2 is your greatest choice 😉 I was pretty disappointed by the Onyx as it has a strange resonance, as it the sound stays too much in the shell and not going out of it. I had one time the Remo's Control Dots, but didn't last that long unfortunately… Cheers from France!

Thank you !! 🙏🏻

Hell yeaaaaaaaaah !! Congrats 🙏🏻 It is really the most beauyoful natural wood finish I have encountered 🖤 Which configuration do you have ? The sound is SO perfect ! I installed Evans EC2S on batter side and EC Reso on reso side for toms, the power and deepness they have… Even the 8" tom has great bottom end ! Happy you learned some détails 😇 Those Star Drums have some incredible details on their construction and respect of the sound and sustain ! We both have the greatest drum kit 😉 Do not hesitate to send me a picture of your kit on messenger or Instagram ! Cheers from France !

I agree with you, the Low tuning isn't the one where the heads shine and let us hear what they can do. We can hear the natural sustain of the head itself, with the dry vents, the differences between the textures, coating or aramid finer etc … The UV2 is really a great one as it has a wide sound, with pretty long sustain that can be dampened with all the accessories we have available! And thank you very much for your feedback about the video and its quality! 😉

Thank you very much !! I am glad that you commented this video as I haven’t watched it for years ! When I received this set back in 2014, I tuned it by ear, I never used any tension watch or tuner for drums. I released videos explaining how I tune my kick, toms and snare 😉 And the only time I used a tension watch is not later than a few months back when I shot my Evans drumheads comparison, I had to have the exact same tension on all the 13 heads I tried on low, mid, high and ultra high tunings 😉

This is a great head !! I really liked it 🙏🏻

Yeah !! That was the time back in 2004 when I saw the video of Space Time and instantly said to me I have to do it myself. The part where the drums is playing blast beats and they comes the guitar melody with double bass…. Still gives my chills !! That was my first tattoo, as Gojira is the reason why I wanted to start drumming !

Which one is your favourite ? Mine is Z3, then the 2024 Z Custom so I do not agree completely 😉

Which is your favourite tuning ?

My pleasure! Thank you for watching! Exactly, the pitch has gone lower and lower, and it might be a coincidence to have a better sound coherence with the tuning used nowadays. My baritone guitar is tuned to drop E, so one octave down the standard E and I love the sound of my Z3 with it! It gives a lot of contrast. My favourite one is the Z3, then the 2024 Z Custom. They both have the greatest explosiveness with brightness and harmonics. If you like niche and really detailed comparison like this one, I released an Evans Drumheads video comparing 13 snare heads, all the double ply plus two Hybrid 😉 And next will be Puresound snare wires! Cheers from France!

Hi there! Sorry for the late answer, I sent you a message on instagram about your track 👌🏻

@@ThomasCremier my son is working on the bass tracks. I'll update you.

Oh man, it really does mean a lot to read this! This album is really important to me as it helped me to deal with bad events in my life previously, and even if it has some errors, I am proud of it! And the fact you felt emotions listening to it means that it worked 🙏🏻 I am working on new songs for a next album, which will be a blend of Gojira, Humanity’s Last Breath, Vildhjarta and still black metal vibes! Thank you for listening! ♥️

It is taken from my first album "Fallen Lives" of my solo project Avalanche : kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKGud3SdYrJngpY It was released back in 2017 so please forget the poor audio production quality, but at that time, the meaning of these songs was the most important ! If you listen to it, tell me what you think and your favourite track 😉 Cheers!

@@ThomasCremier Thank you for the reply man , i sure will <3

Merci !!! N’hésite pas à regarder la vidéo dans son intégralité 😉 En plus c’est le premier anniversaire de l’album aujourd’hui 😇

Thank you so very much !!! I am really happy of how that one turned out, the best drum sound I have ever mixed for sure 🔥 It is a project of mine, but never really make it happened ! I hope I’ll find the right moment to do it, and create a good enough virtual instrument ! But if you need mixing, mastering or any other audio work, do not hesitate 😉

@@ThomasCremier you should totally do It man. It would be really great. I’m particularly interested in some one shots from this specific mix. Is that something you’d be able to do for the right price?

Hi there ! Thanks for watching and your comment! First, I took the time needed as I played for years minimum three times a week, I always had a band I played with minimum once a week from 2010 to 2018 approximately (and it really helps progressing)! About triggering, it helps first to a-have a consistent sound. It is not the acoustic sound which is recorded, but the combo triggers with a drum module allows you to choose a sample and this one will be triggered each time the trigger is hit. I made a video explaining what triggers are : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i17YanaHZ9ach9U It absolutely doesn't add any hit. All the hits played are listened more precisely, so technically speaking, it is more difficult to play with triggers because you hear all the errors you play ! So you need to be more precise compared to playing without 😉 And exactly, there is no dumb questions, so do not hesitate if you still have something to ask! Cheers from France!

@@ThomasCremier Excellent answer(s) and very informative. Will watch that other video and >>> Cheers from the USA! 🤩🤗😏

Merci 😉

Mince… 😕 J’ai du faire ce choix sachant que le public francophone sur mon KZbin est de moins de 5%… alors qu’Instagram la France représente plus de 26%, étant la pays me suivant le plus. Et vu que c’est Evans France forcément je devais choisir l’endroit qui touchera le plus de français et de mettre tous les résultats au même endroit… je sais que ce n’est pas parfait, mais j’ai du faire des compromis 😕 (Après pour tenter de gagner des peaux qui peuvent monter jusqu’à presque 100€ l’unité, ça peut valoir le coup d’ouvrir son compte 😉)

Yes I am ! 😉 It was a lot of work, of time, perseverance, and commitment ! But here is a video to explain and earn time 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqa6emaXf9-kd7csi=oglZazPi6YU5oV29 Thank you so much and cheers from France 🙏🏻

Thank you, very much.

It is a giveaway made with Evans Drumheads France so the giveaway is originally made for my French followers, but if someone wants to participate from another country, he will be able to win heads, but he will have to cover the shipping cost. That was unfortunately the « least worst » solution to let everyone following me to be able to participate ! I hope you would understand that choice I made 😊 And thank you for following me from as far away !

@@ThomasCremier Really just a regular heal toe, your right foot movements confused me… I’m also playing same technique, but both of my legs move like yours left. Thank you for your respond Cheers from Uzbekistan!

@@SaintDoppelganger Exactly! My right foot has a more "flexible" and more detailed movement when playing slower tempos as this song! If I am playing 250+ bpm, my both feet has the same motion!

Merci merci 🙏🏻 C’est vrai que ça rend super bien… hautement vu le travail d’écriture et de production que ça a demandé 😬

Merciiiiii ! Tout ça grâce à Philou 😇

Thank you so very much for your feedback! 🖤 I searched while I was preparing and writing this video, and I found some good videos having more heads but not all two-ply, there was a blend of two and single ply heads, and sometimes with different brands. So yeah, this comparison is (for now) the only full two ply range of Evans Drumheads! I really like the ST Dry, but it isn’t durable enough for my playing unfortunately! The Heavyweight Dry is a BEAST. But I feel it needs to be tightened a lot to really shine, in this video, I think the Heavyweight Dry could be tightened a bit more 😉 I have it installed on another snare of mine, and it sounds massive! The UV2 is really the most polyvalent one, it has a wide frequency range and with all the accessories with have in our disposal (Snareweight Dampers and all others models), we can really sculpt the sound we want! And its durability is mad! About the Hybrid, I have a Tama Starclassic Bubinga 14"x8" with Die-Cast Hoops, for about ten years. Seven out of the ten, a Hybrid was installed (and still is), pretty much cranked, and I never had any issue 😉 I know what you mean about the EC, this what I do not like about it. It is good to have an low and fat sound, but even cranked it doesn’t get the attack I am looking for. Not enough precision! The Heavyweight is its big brother and it definitely can have a big low end punch while allowing a great transient attack! But none of the ones above and the 13 heads of this comparison is a bad choice. It is all about the sound YOU are looking for, your preferences and the durability you want! 🙏🏻 Tell me which one you installed on your snare when you made your choice! Cheers from France!

@@ThomasCremier Thanks for more info and I appreciate your opinions! I’m gonna the Hybrid out first and see if it does any damage to the hoop, if not I’ll keep it. If I see anything I’ll get a Heavyweight Dry for sure. Kinda curious about the Onyx head too, seems like it’d be cool to switch up.

My pleasure! You won’t have any problem with a Die-Cast Hoop, do not be afraid 😉 These hoops are robust and way more durable compared to triple flanged hoop! And the ease of tuning is better! From what I heard during the sound tests, the Onyx has a resonant I do not like, as if the air was still in the shell and without letting it « breathe ». I don’t know if you can hear what I try to describe ahaha But it surely is the most beautiful one 👀

Yeaaaah ! But I do prefer the clanky sound of ultra high 🙏🏻
