All we need is some clever AI software to augment and transform low volume inputs in real time. Almost like the EAD10 but AI trainable and better sounding. This will end the acoustic vs electronic debate forever. No dodgy triggers or drum replacement. No expensive equipment like those sensory percussion gimmick. Someone gonna do it. Just a matter of time.

FINALLY a practice product that actually sounds good and has a well thought out design.

[@mhoop1]

I'm not a drummer and I still find these things fascinating, especially the cymbals

[@nowk-0000]

[@JaxonHaze]

That intro was all the info I needed!

[@zobotrombie]

I love these drum heads. I’m probably the first person in my country to own these thanks to Sweetwater. 🤘🏽❤️

[@ZOB4]

This is awesome! Could have used this back in my college days especially

[@mickeymiguel2726]

Thank you Sweetwater for this great lesson

[@thisperfectworld]

What an amazing product line!

[@kraykray9585]

I've been playing bass for over 15years and drums have always been an envy of mine. Maybe someday...

[@kushking420]

Same, I've played drums for 20 years and always wanted to learn the bass. I keep looking at basses for beginners, don't have a clue what to get

[@charly4594]

Picked up after testing them at South Shore Music. Phenomenal, and I am sure the neighbors think the same!

[@stixmorton]

Love the hats and the snare head!

[@StumptownDrummer]

Great design! Next level technology and sound!

[@giannibadeau3344]

Great video Nick! Thank you!

[@kushking420]

Pretty cool mesh snare head

[@sassycat]

These *definitely* have my attention.

[@DarrenBrierton]

I’d love to try these heads out, maybe I will for my toms, but my practice kit is a compact with 12” SD and 16” BD and Evans aren’t making dB One snare and kick heads in those sizes. Compact kits are pretty popular for home practice which is what these heads are designed for. I hope Evans will rethink the sizes they offer. Maybe @Sweetwater could have a whisper in their ear?

[@kabram]

I need these

[@toonmatt9180]

At 6:41 you can hear how loud they really are

[@budgetguitarist]

That's pretty damn cool. If these heads could also act as electronic triggers, it'd take market share away from the electronic kits. There are no inexpensive electronic kits that look like real drums. I guess you could probably use external triggers with these.

[@dub-funkmusicnation7366]

You can I did it with magnatrack triggers 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

[@famisheddendon]

its super easy to do that you just need to put a piezo pickup on the bottom

[@LaGGyXdm]

Will these be out on demo at SW? Makes me want to consider selling my electric kit and going acoustic now

[@steeltruedrum]

This pack or RTOMs + L80's?

[@kovalfetterer2218]

What drum kit are you playing? That finish looks sweet

[@JayKayEllEmm]

Is there a particular resonant head you’d recommend for low volume drum heads (that still keeps the tone of the drum)?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, dumpster_mcgee_96. The thinner, the better. I’d go either with Evans Reso 7, or Remo Ambassador Diplomat. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@jameslabs1]

Would the quiet db’s work on a set of ROTO Toms? Thanks

[@Isaacvorobyov]

I'm not sure what to get a roland vad706 or a roland td50kv2 what do you guys think?

[@UPdan]

The regular mesh heads recommend round bead drumstick tips. These too?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, U.P. dan. Thanks for your interest. On these it doesn’t really matter. Thanks again. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@maeu59]

How would this sound with the Yamaha EAD10?

[@oshikiri999]

can I please get a list of the HHX used?

[@JaxonHaze]

They might be the Anthology line designed by Jojo Mayer

[@markross882]

adding my db1 heads and cymbals to my mapex armory kit, the hit hat is not fully closing with my foot on the pedal. is this a problem anybody has experienced?

[@andrewkopke3610]

Good Demo! But I'm concerned about a mesh head stretched over bearing edges . Can anyone confirm these are okay ? thanks

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Andrew. Thanks so much for your interest. Good question. These are ok. They will not damage the edges nor will the edge damage the head. Thanks again and Happy Holidays! Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@jonanderson738]

Are these ideal for a church setting or would they require some mics?

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Jon! These aren’t really the best option for live performance in general as they are just so quiet. You could mic them, but they will not have the same tonality as traditional bronze cymbals. If you are looking for a set that is a little more forgiving on the ears that can be used live, I recommend looking into the Sabian FRX cymbals: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FRX5003--sabian-frx-performance-cymbal-set Thanks for the interest!

[@jonanderson738]

@@sweetwater thanks Cody! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I came home from my wisdom teeth being drilled out on the 18th and the new set and cymbals were on the front porch. Pretty nice thing to come home to! My new heads came shortly after you got them ordered for me. In the middle of getting them on the kit. Thank you so much. I believe these low vol. cymbals are going to do just fine live in church. It's not a very big sanctuary, so I think it'll be ok. What the return policy on cymbals, should I find they aren't cutting it and need to exchange for traditional cymbals?

[@name12321]

Are this mesh heads louder than typical mesh heads like the remo silent stroke?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Name. Thanks so much for interest. They are about the same in volume. I hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@barrybebenek8691]

Anyone else hear the production volume change at 6:44min? Makes me wonder of the adjustment a that may have been done on the actually volume of these.?. 🤔

[@mbertos]

Good ear.

[@nooneinparticular9868]

Man this guy is such a mean player. So so so good.

[@mogwix]

I've been using a Yamaha DTX 720K kit for the past few years in my home studio. They're great ... for electronic drums ... but at the end of the day it's just not the same as playing real drums. I recently traded them for a set of mapex saturn evolution shells (thanks for that review too!) but I live in an apartment and now I can't play! My neighbors are great but I just can't make too much noise. I think I'll really have to look into these so I can actually play my kit at home!

[@daltonidaho]

I wish Evans would make white versions of these heads! Just so they'd look more similar to my usual setup 😅

[@cskeise]

💙👊😎

[@xTheMetalTrucker]

Work in apartments?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Ken. It sure does. Definitely a good source for you to practice where noise is an issue. Hope this helps. Jason Thiele, Senior Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1391, [e-mail]

[@andrewv2228]

I have the db one bass drum head. It’s really loud. Not impressed.

[@bigloaded8324]

I agree. Clicky sound, sounds terrible and the snare is too loud also. Why the added plastic? Not low-volume at all. Can't use them at night when family is sleeping.
