Fiberskyn heads on my sewer-pipe drum kit! Was that a good idea, or does it belong in the sewer?

I built drums (which resemble North drums) out of PVC pipe and used Remo CS heads for years. Today I changed all of them to Remo Fiberskyns. Check out the difference in sound!

I think the fiberskyns give a fuller sound. Nice job. I’ve been checking out your other videos. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for saving those old entry level kits!!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I agree with you about the Fiberskyns. I'm trying to decided if I should replace the heads on the Sonor kit with Fiberskyns, too, or maybe use Pinstripes. I'm leaning toward Pinstripes, but I'll have to give it a little more thought before I pull the trigger. Thanks for watching!

You never cease to amaze me!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

:) Thanks!

It took a while for you to get the skins but the wait was worth it . They always looked amazing now its a different set all together ...

[@christhedrummerkimball]

It really did improve the sound, just as the same heads did on my North kit. Now I'm trying to decide if I should go with Fiberskyns on my Sonor kit, too, or go with Pinstripes. Because the Sonors are wood shells and use resonant heads I'm leaning toward the Pinstripes although I still haven't really decided for sure either way.

Very cool Chris. I prefer the fyberskins, the drums pop more and sound better to me opposed to the clear. You also are playing better with the fyberskins.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I get inspired when the drums sound good! :)

[@godbluffvdgg]

Bit warmer but the Black Dots. The tuning seems similar...We drummers tend to have a depth of sound for our toms that we like; and we stay there...:)...Nice kit!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thanks! I agree with you; the Fiberskyns are definitely warmer, which in this case I prefer. Thanks for watching!

[@DrumAttic]

Amazing!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thank you! And thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

[@cdwizzerd]

i like Fiberskyn as resos

[@TheSPACEDIEVEST1]

I prefer the fiberskyns instead of the clear.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Me, too. I'm thinking of putting them on all my Sonor kit as well.

[@jgttx]

Sounds too close to call. I like fiberskyns and use them but this side by side is a tough call. If you force me to pick, I'd say the fiberskyns are slightly warmer sounding. I would love to have a large set like that to goof on. Happy Drumming!!!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I agree--they are a bit warmer. I think they sound the most different (better) on the two 10-inch drums. I think that's because the Fiberskyns are thinner and mold to the shape of the not-so-great bearing edges of the pipe.

[@ZaccScissorlip]

The sewer pipe kit is so cool, what did it cost you to put it together?

[@christhedrummerkimball]

The different sizes are very different prices when it comes to the shells, check out the video where I describe what I had to do to construct them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqOuhKCwbJdsiac

[@donjohnson9063]

To me both heads sound fine, get the job done right.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I agree, they both sound pretty good, but on the 10" toms I think the Fiberskyns sound much better. It has to do with the uneven bearing edges and the thinness of the Fiberskyns, I think. Thank you for watching!

[@donjohnson9063]

@@christhedrummerkimball I agree with you on the 10 in Tom sounds better with the fiberskynes.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

@@donjohnson9063 The audio doesn't really reflect this, but the bass drum also sounds better, but a lot of that has to do with the fact I took out the pillow and replaced it with a much smaller piece of foam rubber.
