[@sweetwater]

For whatever style of music you play, these drums will do the trick! 🥁 Make sure to hit those Like and Subscribe buttons for more demos like this one!

[@lovingpeace9715]

So a regular DW set won't do the trick?

[@TheTubeMeister]

DW is the best in my opinion. I own the 7-piece design series clear acrylic. Absolutely love it!!!

[@NotMyWar]

Nick is a total asset to Sweetwater. Next to the great customer service, and being a Midwest company, Nick is one of the main reasons I am a customer.

[@ldcsam1]

If Nick played the boxes this DW kit came in, I'm sure they would sound awesome, too.

[@TheSuperMegaTronBC]

Hey I played this exact same drum kit when I was up there at sweet water visiting Fort Wayne last week while there with my dad was looking around at guitars I went off to the drums and saw it in a glass or plastic walls around it but with a little opening of them to get to the kit I seen it sitting there and I decided to play it and fell in love with it right away I am surprised of how good it sounded i am glad to get the opportunity to try it out while I was there.

[@ronaldronaldson9126]

Nick's playing just keeps getting better! Drums sounded great too.

[@needle11]

love my dw collectors - they're real and they're spectacular.

[@ldcsam1]

LOL!!! A Seinfeld reference.

[@frodowatt4272]

This is my dream DW kit!!!

[@robertharding8394]

Getting the same kit next week

[@jackbritton5177]

Sweetwater and DW need to pay this man. I pulled the trigger on this kit and it's all because of the pro coverage that Nick provides.

[@artgj7296]

John lovitz plays amazing drums!

[@budokaiboy]

There's some Chad Smith videos on YT too. You should go leave some tired Will Ferrell jokes on those.

[@artgj7296]

@@budokaiboy good idea!! Thanks!!👍👍

[@toxievope3617]

They sound fantastic. The snare is a tiny bit tuned high, but still sounds pretty good.

[@GabrielXDrums]

Uh let me just say that as someone who originally started with PDP and then switched to TAMA for a while only to eventually find my way back to DW I’m not at all surprised 😂 they’re the best.

[@vaughanxaviermusic]

Man I could listen to this guy just groove for an hour.

[@brent3760]

My church just ordered a DW collectors series kit from Sweetwater.

[@wilkinsnl]

I like the demos but I wish they would do room mic sounds maybe over heads. It would give a better idea what they sound like without close mics.

[@georgejohnson2046]

I second that emotion!

[@markazinker3212]

True , they fiddle around with the sound thru the mikes , u can make any drum sound like whatever u want , room mics give u a better idea , I totally agree

[@smithsakulkaew]

There are overheads in this demo as shown in the thumbnail.

[@markazinker3212]

@@smithsakulkaew when drum center in New Hampshire does demos they have a different part of the demo which specifically says ,’ room mics’ the sound is very different than when they have all the mics together, there might be mikes hanging for show but there is no separate room mic demo so people that have them in their basement like myself can get a better idea of what they really sound like without thousands of dollars of mikes , studio equipment and everything else that is needed to make them sound like they do in their demos

[@mrzachwright]

If you’re spending the money on a kit like this, there’s a 99% chance it’s either going be miked in a studio or miked on a stage. Not a bedroom kit.

[@stevenfederico2594]

When you listen to Tama star classic reviews you think oh that sounds amazing when you listen to Gresh renown reviews you think oh that sounds amazing then you listen to DW and you realize what amazing actually sounds like the greatest drums on the planet and Nick is number one

[@truthweallknow]

Sweet, l Love the Sound of that set. The only thing different I would like if I had that set would be one more floor time

[@kevinperry3639]

They sound amazing! Very nice, and a great video as well 🤘

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Sweetwater is absolutely the end all be all!! A flawless production as always, the content is top notch!! -Indiana Love 💯

[@bradschechter3830]

Nick is a monster player. However when he does a demo he really does it for the sake of the instrument, not to try and impress with his chops.

[@michaelkennedyphotography]

I have a Performance kit and never gave the stock heads a try. I still have them on hand. This video has me intrigued. Gonna slap them on, torque 'em up and give them a whirl!

[@gretschludwigdrummer209]

Nick was on form with this one !!

[@j.d.7208]

DW and Nick are a class act wow top shelf

[@OTR74]

Your a beast Nik. Always great presentation and your choice of cymbals are always great.

[@stevenfederico2594]

DW Best built best sound on the planet There’s a reason why it’s the drummer’s choice

[@stevenfederico2594]

Nick that was beyond sick❤

[@wil.mcclure]

I love that set!!! ❤

[@jettsetter7]

That kick is just insane

[@benjammin265]

I wish I had this dudes job!! Wow!

[@digitalbrand2930]

Well-done feature for DW drums, great player, too!

[@LIXOSonidoyDiscos]

Great drum kit. I❤️ it! With your Beyerdynamic I51 TG mics Sound much better!

[@joshuajopp2896]

Nick D‘Virgilio......or is that Jon Lovitz playing a drummer in a Sweetwater Ad? :)

[@drumrnva]

Great sounds. Any idea which sabian China cymbal was used?

[@zDerezzed]

Evans EC2 is my go to tom head.

[@HenryChauhanDrums1]

Nice video Sweetwater. Looks like a great kit :)

[@6thUser]

Holy smoke, what a sound!

[@joeldrummer23]

Awesome drums

[@noah._.powell]

That China is wonderful! Is that an HH or HHX??

[@Joshstix95]

Not a fan of dw drums but there snares are some of the best I’ve played

[@petermasalsky8844]

Would literally sit here and watch Nick play a damp sponge.

[@sweetwater]

🤘🥁🧽

[@marclewism]

love the cymbals!!

[@Drum2]

Awesome video, awesome kit. Thank you. :)

[@flexjammer]

This is the beesst drum sound ever... damn...

[@phaded71]

Just make sure you don't die before delivery, based on current performance...

[@simaojoseph]

Boy! That sounded clanky.

[@EdLo.]

Nick is a god🤯

[@mata.yoguee]

Isn’t a full maple pretty much the same as having a Performance Series? I know the customization that comes with the Collectors, but as shell-wise speaking would be the same right? American Maple on both 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just want to know what you guys think… 🤟🏻

[@memopadilla5931]

They are close.. Performance just a tad thicker shells with NO rings. Derinitely a great kit IMO...

[@AG-mm9wn]

I think performance is better overall IMO

[@anthonyn1312]

Is that a custom wrap on the dw collector series drums? Yes or no? And why?

[@stevenfederico2594]

I love this guy

[@stevenfederico2594]

No channel does it better No player does it better

[@ajgdrums24]

Is this the kit you guys have set up in the drum room???

[@ghostsmoke11]

Nick is a boss

[@maxwellgordon9868]

Nice kit but those Sabian cymbals steal the show for me.

[@dougmorato]

For some reason they remind me Neil Pearts drums sound (apart from the snare)

[@Radowitzki]

I think i'm in love

[@anthonyn1312]

What about different drumhead?

[@shelster9967]

The first thing I did when I bought both of my DW Collectors kits was to ditch those heads.

Did anyone notice that AAX ride??? 👀

[@shonmorgenstein2658]

Didn't know Jon Lovitz played drums.

[@Lordovhate]

The kit sounds amazing but wrapped drums are related with being cheap in my mind. I can't see past a wrap. No matter the sound. That alone has made my venture to buy a new drum kit even harder. I wonder why so many companies opt out of natural/lacquered finishes in the higher end lines.

[@scottapthorpe6172]

Lacquer do look great for sure.but give me a wrap finish any day for gigging. Much better wearing. Some of expensive laquered kits look more like high end furniture... which would make me extremely nervous taking them out....

[@Lordovhate]

@@scottapthorpe6172 for the durability I can understand it. But I wouldn't ever move mine. I have other kits I could throw around carelessly. $3-5k for a wrapped kit seems crazy to me. Give me a nice finish and I'm a happy boy.

[@0Somerandomguy01]

All that for under $4800? Well I'll be grabbing 4 or 5 sets at that incredible price. Said no one. Ever. I can't deal with DW and their obscene pricing, especially for a maple kit.

[@rjyeezy76]

Tama > DW

[@andyham6094]

Feel the same way. Can get better quality, feel, and sound with a Tama starclassic for way cheaper.

[@andyham6094]

@@rjyeezy76 you know what’s up.

[@stevenfederico2594]

Tama star classic 😂 Have u seen the price of a tama star like 3000$ more than dw. Star classic same price as design series. Design series blows star classic away

[@SONORSQ2guy]

$5800 no thanks 👎

[@stevenfederico2594]

Do you know how much an SQ2 cost Like $3000 more than DW collectors

[@SONORSQ2guy]

⁠@@stevenfederico2594I bought my SQ2 kit in 2008 when they were affordable. My 7 piece Sonor SQ2 kit was a lot cheaper than $5800.
