Heard that... Personal preference makes a big difference in your own playing I think.

@AutoMadoc Drummerboi Thank you so much! I should have new stuff coming soon! Welcome aboard :)

[@loveroflife1438]

I’m a metal drummer with 8” 10” rack toms 14” floor Tom 18” bass drum 12” snare I play fast so I like the quick response and I also like deeper small drums deep and a lot of attack

[@mnn72102]

It’s so great what you’re doing, giving him the recognition he deserves! I’ve watched him since he was a cruise performer as a drummer. Thanks Cooper!

[@Bullardicus86]

Big drums for recording and stationary set up, small drums for moving around.

[@DonPiruflo]

20" Kick, 13" & 16" Toms & 14 x 5" snare It's the perfect size for anything

[@lecopete]

I could listen to these guys all day long........

I just imagine David's tight heads being SO much better feeling to play. His kick PUNCHES, too!

[@Corpsefiend91]

Gotta give it to David on this one.. small is the way to go, so much fatter sounding and wayyy less overtones. Plus it’s just more visually pleasing too 😂

[@kisterdrums]

I know it’s subjective but why is smaller more visually pleasing?

[@chrischoi9121]

Fun to watch you two "banter," but also you two sounded really great together at the end!

[@talibanchristian]

Love you both and your different styles keep rocking.

[@jswklj]

It might be the way it is mic'd up, but hot damn I love the sound of David's kit. For me it blows the other kit away, which also sound amazing. I'd go David's kit allllll the time.

[@rufushayday6990]

And It looks better too ...

[@tuttobicci]

I agree with you too.

[@aristotle5698]

12” rack, 16” floor, 22” (or 20”) kick, 2 crashes, ride, China, and hi hats, is really all I need.

[@MrPistons4life]

This is where having variety and knowledge of your kit comes into play too. I own a Yamaha Recording custom with 10,12,13,16 and 24x18 with a 14x6.5 snare and it only comes out when the money is right. I used to use it on small gigs until a friend of mine at church said he had a Tama kit from his childhood that I should look at. 10,12,14, 18x16 kick with a 13x3.5 piccolo snare I was like yup. Whole kit minus hardware in 2 trips to the truck. It's a swing star which is not even in the ballpark of a recording custom but it's extremely easy to tune play setup and breakdown. I even played it in 2500 seat sized theater and the engineer couldn't believe the sound of the little monster.

[@natec_19]

Bruh, both drums sounds awesome!!

[@DrumAttic]

Great video, guys! Preference and style...it can all be so subjective. Loved the banter...so much fun!

[@31190levi]

I would love to hear how they sound in a mix with a band. Range of styles. I’m sure each kit will own a genre.

[@Drummerjon]

I agree with David for sure. I have gotten a killer sound out of both an 18" and a 20" kick. Smaller drum sqaud for life

[@Chudhole]

The best way to travel with drums is call the opening act and ask if you can use their kit. Then only bring a snare and sticks. Woooohoo!

[@Jaketheaxman]

Imagine David Cola working at a drive through, and when you go to order, you hear, "welcome to _______, my name is david cola and I play the drums, what can I do for you?"

[@DarkpumA787]

Cola is such a great drummer!

[@cameronhallett4268]

The groove at 4:15 reminds me so much of scentless apprentice because of the size of those drums

[@chewy1147]

I love both kits.

[@Loki_Morningstar666]

That Decade Maple kit sounds awesome!!!! You really can't beat a 24 inch kick drum. I get it smaller drums are easier to lug around and you can make them sound good but you just get so much more low end from bigger drum sizes its worth it to me.

[@tommyrose553]

It all boils down to what sound do you want and are going for.

[@btexd6469]

Hey Cooper the dude did you steal my drum sticks bro 😳👽😱

[@luvmedrums4057]

I'm a old guy.I like shallow (fast toms).Like David said,they have response.30yrs ago I had BIG drums(Deep Toms)My Starclassic kit I have now has a shallow toms,which to me sound so much better than those old Big drums

[@alan.fowler]

Excelent video, big drums smash your face and go straight to the point. Small drums are cool to play tighter and closer notes, and David has a point ... they are easier to transport

[@AMDpc067]

That small kick is a beast

[@korekid6540]

Loved the video and i go with david cause tiny drums are easier to carry and is fun to play!!!

[@christopherfreeman3357]

Yep, tiny drums but more cymbals.

[@cltubby]

The only place that little kit is going to place over a larger sized kits is listening via a cell phone where I guess the world wants to live so, sorry for your loss in the tonal world. It really is a cool place to live. DW Performance - 24 x 18 Kick, 12 X 9, 13 x 10, 16 x 16 and 18x 16.

[@poserwannabe1]

Big drums for everything, live and studio 👍

[@enocheubank4424]

Now that I have seen the whole video, I think I like 2 sets the best.

[@noamdrums3764]

Great Video! In This Video I think The Small Kit in Here Has Better Sound! But Overall My Favourite Is Big Drums I Bonham Fan So.. Bass Drum 26×14 14×10 Rack Tom 16×16 Floor Drum 16×18 Floor Drum and 14 Pork Pie Snare

[@psnewsauditor-az5244]

I just picked up the Tama Club Flyer. For the small venues. I noticed so much airspace. Being a Latin flavor Timbales/Conga player and drummer, thinking about. Infusing 2 together, with ensemble of hand instruments to fill.

[@SmokeBreakStudios]

10x12x16 toms are the perfect sizes and i am NOT wrong.

AWSOME and sick at the drums

[@leehart8514]

The big drums sound to boxy but having hydraulic heads didn't help jmop .I play most of the time with my Yamaha hipgig with 16" kick punchy as all get out ... perfect for funk

[@alumni2013]

Love watching you play Casey big fan

[@wojticz3754]

respect to show us the 7.07 moment without the cut haha :))))

[@dariojr14]

I would take David’s setup

[@TessaAnderson]

Gotta say the small kit was a winner just because it was at the disadvantage and sounded so full and sweet. I own a big beat kit so I’m surprised

[@rodking9714]

I got to admit it, I think David is right. I've had my large drums for 30 years and it always amazed me hearing other drummers with smaller toms sound as good if not better than my larger drums. I'll just keep playing my kit for now.

[@anonymousbagiwarrior6993]

All of you 2 is my fan ❤️ can i have a heart all from you 😍

[@Daniel_hl_6]

Personaly you give me the cola's snare and the tom, kick of caesy with the two kit cymbal, I'll be f*cking happy 😂

[@aidenallen4655]

Personally for most gigs I would prefer a small kit and even if I need a big sound I can put triggers on it and play samples of bigger drums if it’s absolutely required

[@huntercampbell5642]

I remember when Coop3r had the huge kits

[@johnrobinson8323]

Bot kits sound awesome!

[@sylvester3068]

The most important aspect is smaller drums can cutthrough mix easily and if smaller drums made out of Birch,walnut,beech etc then it will rise above every instrument in the mix with warm dark punch and piercing top end......

[@davidadrian]

great video!

[@TheJokesterSCR]

It depends on your style of playing. In my band, I utilize a lot of tom fills that require me to have as many toms as I do. To me, less drums means that you have less sounds to play with and it limits what you can do. Sure, if you play a certain style, you can make a small kit sound great. But for a guy like me, I use my cymbals to accent the guitar tones and play big long fills at times that I couldn't possibly do on a 4 piece set with only a couple cymbals. Now, my drums aren't huge in size, but my overall kit is pretty sizeable.

[@ablackshedd]

Gotta go watch this again with my headphones on. Your floor tom might have beat the kick drum out. lol. Love Cola's kit though.

[@ryderjustryder505]

Yes

[@drew_the_drummer]

Okay so David I want to hear that 13 inch snare tuned low and fat. I gotta know if it actually can be tuned big

[@DavidColaDrums]

I’ll get on that 🙂

[@drew_the_drummer]

@@DavidColaDrums I've never heard a 13 tuned down so I want to know if it's possible. I've got a 10" snare maybe I'll make a video to see if I can make a fat snare with it haha

[@Evolutioncity]

Drew Harper I have a 13x6 Ludwig Classic Maple snare and tuned low it honestly sounds better than most 14x6.5 that I’ve heard. Just putting in my two cents!

Small drums are like a toys. Big drums for big boys

[@WilliamDelorenzo-y9v]

I love that people think smaller drums have a fuller sound. Tune those big boys the right way and there is no contest.

[@1941paco]

Oh Hell Yea!! Alright....alright.....alright.......yea small drums for gigging, and Large dimension drums for recording, personal practice, and stationary kits. My studio kit that doesn't go any where, starts with a 14"diameter X 16" deep shell floor tom, next is a 16" X 16" floor tom, and then the 18" diameter X 16" deep shell floor tom, and finally a 20" diameter X 16" deep shell floor tom. This last drum was once a Mapex kick drum but the wood hoops were swapped out for original Slingerland 20" tom rims using Remo Pinstripe tom [NOT kick drum] head. yes there is a difference and yes Remo sells both versions. My kit has a pair of 24" diameter X 16" deep kicks. this kit has a massive sound that just encompasses you with sound big massive Booming Sound ! Perfect kit for getting your work-out on! Think of the kit set up like this- two floor toms in front of my snare drum, the 18" is on my right side and the 20" is on my left side. The two kick drums are out to the sides with slave pedals to kick them with, one pedal is a left footed slave and the other pedal is a right footed slave pedal. The pedals are custom built with roller bearings and ball bearings and they use the Trick Drums Zero latency drive shafts. Great video you two put put together, definitely makes a couple of points to All drummers. Peace & Care Paco

[@scottlarson9348]

Theres nothing like playing big toms... 14 16 18... will be my next custom build someday and a 12 and 20 just for kicks.

[@cameronmorrisdrums]

You can’t use being a beast at the drums to further your point lol 😂

[@WeAreClaves]

As a guy who grew up in the punk rock scene, I gotta go with the smaller kit. Higher tones break through better I think, and I can't get the same tabletop tight sound from a deep snare than I can with a shallow one. With that said I've always hated how big boy toms go over the snare, I like my snare and I wanna hear it.

[@ff2346cookson]

I've seen drummers play tiny kits.......when they are miked up they sound immense.....it really doesn't matter.......how big or small the drums are.

[@aniruddhgupta2597]

"my snare is 3" deeper than your snare drum." "what are you trying to say?" "i don't know"

[@Brandondrumkc]

Love this bromance!

[@chrisggoodwin777]

I always get surprised comments as to how good my small kit sounds. The setup is an 18" kick, 14x5" snare, and 8, 10, 12" toms with a couple of 14" crashes, 12" hats, and an 18" ride. It's definitely nicer to transport than my big kit lol

[@00Ryder]

I wouldn't mind a slightly bigger kick and the smaller set but that absolutely wins. Hands down that has more tone and clarity. Those big toms sound so muddy

[@jextzee]

Strangely David’s drums have more depth lmao

[@seandunawaydrums1060]

Tuned better

[@seconddaymusic8393]

Im definitely a huge advocate for huge drums, im talking like John Bonham sizes. The one thing I don't like about Casey's kit is how low the snare is tuned though. I absolutely love the response and sound of a large, cranked snare.

[@Mikhailness]

Any drums is good if you went to Berkley

[@feeterican]

I LIKE THICC DRUMS. Thicc heads on the bottom like Evens G2 Black. Thicc sound!

[@stewartstudioscreative3641]

Gotta be honest as drums being my second instrument I play on a crap 1960s set with new heads and hardware and I’m am already or of the top drummers in my school. Taking cymbals aside it is very similar to David’s drum set in this video. As cool as lots of drums are I always think a smaller set is better. And you can be more creative on one as well.

[@matzemedia9594]

Finally Coopers "skills" got rekted by a good drummer! Thanks David

[@founboy78]

I kind of in-between when it comes to sizes. My drum sizes are 20x18 bass drum, 12x9 tom 16x16 floor tom

[@BEElaine1008]

OK as far as my preferences... If we talk size then I gotta go with Taiko... but for quantity...I am biased because I have the black halo glitter kit (Casey’s fault).... and I definitely love watching awesome drummer’s surrounded by ridiculously large kits....but there’s room for everybody!

[@christopherfreeman3357]

Both drummers are good, but David's setup is better. 🥁💙😎👍

[@ARGBlackCloud]

Fact , large drums if tuned properly and not in the basement can actually be considerably louder than small drums tuned the same, Bonham for example did not tune extra low. He tuned for rebounce and tone. The front head on his 26 was in fact somewhat tight !! It's also why a Supraphonic tuned up can actually hurt you !! or any other 6" deep snare .

[@just_kyashi]

this is hilarious! Definitely a fan of doing more with less ;P
