That's an awesome way to mount it, seems like it's better acoustically and also looks very stealthy. 👍🏼

[@flacche]

I think so too... thanks!

[@jcdrums2798]

very good setup Matt...i hope see you more!

[@flacche]

Thanks for watching!

[@beetlejews]

Great vid Matt! Keep up the vids, your set up is the greatest on the internet

[@flacche]

Wow, thanks!

[@beetlejews]

@@flacche please more videos Matt!!!!

[@Videditor1067]

Love it!

[@flacche]

Thanks!!

[@Videditor1067]

My biggest pet peeve, especially on tours is the damn mic stand in front of the kicks! Especially with the custom painted head no one can see! LOL

[@ryandonohue152]

This is a great system you got worked out. Gibraltar just released a mount for front hoop. Clamps on to outer edge. What clamps do you use on your toms?

[@flacche]

The toms have sennheiser mics, which come with their own clamps that work well, and don't damage anything.

[@lindadecosta3743]

Matt would you mind sharing what your drums are all tuned to?

[@flacche]

Hi Linda, I don't tune like that. I use a combination of the Tune-Bot, Drum Dial, and my ears to come up with the best sound I can get out of each drum. In my experience, if you try to force drums into specific pitches (like perfect thirds), you end up with at least one drum that doesn't play well at it's assigned pitch. I will say that I put a towel on the top head, tune the bottom head using the Tune-Bot, then mute the bottom head as I tune the top head with the Tune-Bot. If I like how it sounds, I leave it alone. If I don't like it, I either bring it up or down until I find the pitch that the drum plays well at.

Can we hear the whole drumset? Covers are good, but want to hear all spectre of drumset without background music. From concert toms to gong drum

[@flacche]

I am not planning any new KZbin uploads in the near future... BUT if you want to hear this full kit, with no musical accompaniment, follow me on Instagram... @mattflacche I'm planning periodic posts of drum clips, with chances to win Tama swag!
