Looks like "someone" is obsessed with TOMMY LEE!!

[@24theMoney]

Haha..I was gonna say this is some Tommy Lee looking kit! Those massive kick drums.

[@MrFchank]

Was thinking the same

[@lOST-s3t]

Aaron Gillespie and John Bonham would be proud of this guy, this kit is gonna cause thunderstorms🔥🔥🔥🔥

I totally agree, when he broke into those beefy triplets...it started raining in my living room. 🤟🐻‍❄️❕️

[@AlecFloyd-se8de]

My two favorite drummers lol

[@MrFchank]

No it's not. It's a cheap imitation of Tommy Lee

[@KayvonL.]

Solid drumming…. 100%! Love the simple setup. Oh by the way…. Needless to say, 100% yes on your talent as well.

[@paranormaldrummer69]

They sound awesome man.. I love the kicks.. the floor tom out in front.. the huge crash cymbals, and that china sounds amazing bro.. it definitely gives the kit a huge sound.. fn killer.. 🤘🤘

[@bradkurland1427]

I watched your unboxing video. It's very exciting to finally get the kit you worked so hard for, it takes a lot of money, patience and dedication especially those times where you have the money and then life happens and sets you back. So respect to you for sticking to it 👍

[@AlbertMoyerJr]

I'd like to hear those bad boys with less compression and more resonance.

[@williamweiss6128]

And no gate.

[@LeakyJAZZ]

i honestly hear no compression. i hear a poorly applied noise gate, and bad tuning.

[@x8jason8x]

@@LeakyJAZZ It's a camera or cellphone mic, so yeah, no compression or noise gate, just auto level. I don't know how you can tell the tuning, I'll say they sound a bit flat, but that could be the camera mic again.

[@LeakyJAZZ]

@@x8jason8x no, hes got mics on each of the drums and he’s got them running through a noise gate. I can hear the gate closing after a moment each time he hits the drums. I can tell theyre poorly tuned because i have ears. Dont you hear the sour dissonances in the snare?

[@x8jason8x]

@@LeakyJAZZ I've got mics on all my drums, doesn't mean they're always hot. Listening to it, it sounds central panned and hollow, exactly like it sounds recorded from a cellphone mic to me, but idk... I wasn't there. Could be just a terrible interface. Yes I hear all kinds of flat, but I don't hear enough of resonance to tell if they're poorly tuned or purposefully tuned. In all the years I've been a recording engineer, never been accused of not having ears though. 🤣 Maybe don't treat every disagreement like it's an insult to your pride, and you won't make such unqualified implications, friend. 😅

[@mr.anderson70]

A few years back, Joey Castillo was using Shure Beta 52A on Floor Toms and it was a punch in the gut live. Shure needs to donate 5 of those to you.

[@trenttieken]

@@mr.anderson70 I have the Queens of the Stone Age dvd where he's doing that and that's the sound I'm shooting for. I wish Shure would send me those. The Beta 52s are my favorite mic!

@@trenttieken I have the 14x12, 16x15 DW jazz floor toms. Love the two of them, but I need a nice thick batter on them to shorten duration. Sadly my 12 rack sounds like crap with a thick batter so I'm kinda at a loss.
