CONGRATS!!! YOU FREAKIN DESERVE IT MAN!!!

[@supremegroove7531]

When are we getting married😏

[@andsuaz]

Now kiss

[@alexhill_79]

Zack, my mans, when you getting those endorsements?

[@AdamTuminaro]

That birch bad girl! One of the downsides to making a video like this is that I have so little time to get to know the kit, as this is literally my first project with the new instrument. Needless to say, I'm still getting tones and head combinations dialed in on this kit, but the initial sound of these first recordings has been SO impressive. I have some other recordings going on Insta this weekend to offer a better idea of what the kit can do. I describe the kit sound as "dry and cavernous." It has a LOT of up-front presence under the mics, and it's the first kit I've owned that requires virtually no EQ to cut through guitars in a mix. It also has a naturally short sustain, that requires almost no muting. How would you describe the kit's sound? Keep an eye out for EP30 of the OD Podcast, which will cover all questions regarding this kit build, my sig snare with Entity, and a further explanation as to why I went with Pearl. Thanks for watching friends!

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

Dry and cavernous fits. Sounds like the thin shell with the diecast hoops gives nice tone, but short cut off.

[@AdamTuminaro]

@@GrassRoots-fp4ty Agreed! Big bursts of tone with a very short decay. I've ended up removing almost all my mutes over the week, and really love the natural resonance.

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

@@AdamTuminaro Are those G1, G2 on there now? And have you picked a clear head to try?

[@AdamTuminaro]

@@GrassRoots-fp4ty EC Resonants in this video. My next clear head will be the EC2.

[@Sundaydrumday]

@@AdamTuminaro my lord this kit sounds so good....happy for u!!

[@sheldonassom3594]

That kit is magnificient!!! I am now more excited waiting for my Pearl kit.

[@rkaylor5769]

I personally prefer Tama and Gretsch, but go with what suits you and your needs. That goes for everyone. Congrats, Adam.

[@vladeguignimusic]

Welcome to the fam!

[@thedutchdjentleman]

Noone’s gonna talk about how he finally has a 12” rack tom? Edit: didn’t watch far enough into the video, but my point still stands.

[@robertocamposgiesemann4139]

I would imagine that Adam had never heard a 12" tom by Pearl before and thus wasn't thrilled by it 😉. Jokes aside, can't wait for the deep explanation.

[@drumsavvy8224]

Was just gonna comment- you got that 12" tom..need that midrange 😉

[@EduanSnarf]

He had a 12 on the kit he had before the sonor. Pdp I think

[@carlosdiaz5486]

Lmaooo that brotha said “I will FIGHT a 12” rack tom”. Still sounds dummy good tho

[@matthewmoeller7518]

Absolutely stunning kit! Congratulations on the endorsement!

[@5dayslater]

I’m so excited for you man. My dad was a drummer and loved Pearl drums. I chose the Tama Starclassic and I’m very happy with them. You can’t go wrong with either choice. Best of luck with your new journey!

[@krioni86sa]

Pearl Drums is a SOLID choice!

[@markthompson3915]

Congrats brother! Most deserving for being such a gentleman, teacher, and creator! You are SICK on any kit you play!

[@stixmorton]

Congrats! Well deserved - absolutely beautiful drums!

[@rongriffin5980]

Awesome kit. Congrats. There is nothing wrong with choosing 15" floor tom, great size. Birch is king!!!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Gorgeous drum set, brotha! I'm happy for you and that you're working with Pearl. They make stunning drums and I love my Reference Series kit I got 11 years ago. True quality 👊🔥

[@michaelbarady6636]

Congratulations Brother, Pearl Masters are the best in the world in my opinion 👍

[@michaeltalley5826]

Beautiful kit! It sounds amazing! Is that a 12' inch rack tom we see!?! :) You deserve it, as Pearl recognizes your talent, hard work and popularity. I have the Session Studio Select kit and you are right, it's a "sick" kit; especially at that price point. Congratulations Adam!

[@andrewglasmacher]

Congratulations, my friend! I’m excited for your continued success!

[@mitchellcostello6455]

Dude yes!! Pearl is bitchin!! Your kit sounds so powerful and versatile. Congrats Adam! Can’t wait to hear more details in the podcast :)

[@robertocamposgiesemann4139]

Adam, this is so awesome to hear! I'm so happy to know you found the perfect fit and with the absolute best drums on the planet. The kit is GORGEOUS and I look forward to all your experiments with it. If anyone deserves it in the drumming community, it's definitely you!!!! 🔥

[@CyberIllusions]

Good decision, Adam! The drums sound really fantastic. You can de facto hear the difference from the previous kit. 👌👍🥁🥁

[@mdrmrgrl9622]

Beautiful looking and sounding kit! Congrats!!❤️🥁❤️

[@mcdrumlessons]

one of the most natural, beautiful modern sounding kit I heard in recent years!

[@andrewallenpainter1616]

Oh yeah! Congrats!

[@demonicsweaters]

Not only do they sound awesome, I love your taste in how you mix the drums. Plenty of room sound, and very ambient. The backing tracks are killer too. Do you make all your own music?

[@cedarlunstrum1940]

That kit sounds amazing! And your playing at the end is killer!

[@DrumTipTuesday]

I still have my early 90's free floating marching snare and I love it! Pearl IS a solid choice, and once again congratulations on a superior video.

[@NateGfit]

the sound of this Kit definitely suits your style dude! sounds so big but with so much punch.

[@Payterman]

Congrats Adam! 🥁👏💪

[@LochNess_drums]

Maaaaaaaan, Pearl has it all, dont they. They are gorgeous

[@xPoisonDashx]

Pearl and meinl endorsement, the guy is living the dream

[@mikkedevastation167]

Congratulations!!! 👍🥁

[@erikondrums]

Congrats! Been playing Pearl most of my drumming career. Not endorsed or anything, but they just were the best. During this time I’ve had DW’s, Starclassics, Gretsch’s, Mapex’s, and more Pearl drums and my favourites has always been the Reference I got back in 2008. Also got a Maple Gum kit last year to get a different vibe and I don’t need another kit now. Great video! Great playing! Congrats to an awesome kit!

[@codyjones7102]

Dude listening to you speak about this kit is just as electrifying as your drumming! Thanks for helping me make my choice for my next set. Pearl Session Studio Select to be exact!! Thanks again yo:)

[@ryanspeed4671]

Congratulations!! I don't know you personally, but you appear to be a genuine nice guy. I enjoy your drumming & I wish you much continued success.

[@Drumsholic]

Amazing Kit !! Congrats for the Endorsement!!

[@Megamatthiesen]

Awesome 🕺🥁🌏❤️ sounds fantastic...Congrats 👍🏻🥁

[@BeatDigger]

You deservit it. Wishing you all the best. 🙏

[@lalhmunmawiapachuau7777]

Congratulations! 🤝🏻 🥁🎼

[@emmanuelsilagan]

Wow, just wow. It's a beautiful kit!

[@hiptoalieu]

I LOVE the 15'" floor tom! So So So MUCH!!!

[@coreyrawls2171]

Congratulations!!!

[@PSJack450]

Man this kit is gorgeous and sounds just amazing! Adam you snapped bro, love it! 💪🏽🔥

[@gregmartinez5836]

I never knew Pearl made such a gorgeous kit! I'm seriously considering Pearl, never seen this side of them!

[@quintinroche8717]

I love sonor, but I have to admit that the pearl sounded better. Is there a “feel” difference switching from a thick shell sq1 to a thin shell pearl?

[@AdamTuminaro]

Thanks my friend! The SQ1 is actually quite thin (7mm compared to 5.4mm on this kit.) The difference is response time. These drums reach their full resonance much faster than a thicker kit would.

[@citydrums7525]

Sounds warm, attacky, open and ready to rumble... Looks bad arse too!

[@TheCrimsonCandidateConnection]

Hey man, I really love what you’re doing here. Not just with the kit (im a bit bias as my choice is Pearl as well) but the entire approach to this. The entrepreneurial drummer, I love it! With an environment that is entirely different than when coming up, it’s important to adapt and change.

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

So, as I was watching this again with my headphones, I realized I hadn't listened through my phone speakers. So I did, and you were right. I get your whole setup now. Excellent choices. And shes pretty good through the headphones to!!🤣🤘👍

[@rallyeraidr7841]

looks and sounds great!

[@noel_neuenkirk]

Happy for you Adam! That is a wonderful sounding kit! 🥁🥁🥁

[@ReignJeffersonCTria]

Wow! I've never seen you so happy when playing drums

[@lakaytiano7763]

love it! I can't deny it...it looks awesome! and sounds great too😎

[@khotsotaleng9500]

Congrats

[@mavrickloewen1543]

YESSS!!! Team pearl here let's gooo!!!

[@brodrums6045]

That finish looks absolutely amazing

[@slaughtherheadmetaldrummer7634]

You deserve it!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@davemieze9021]

So happy for you. You have made a huge impact on my playing and thought processes behind playing our wonderful drum kits.

[@keegster1882]

Awesome kit! Love the wood texture. That's my personal favorite look. Sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

[@sharmatime]

BBBBrrrroooohhhh resonance ! They sound beautiful.

[@TessaAnderson]

PERFECT !!! Dude I’m stoked for you and so happy you made the big change. You committed to pearl! Just lovely

[@oscarozuna385]

Congratulations! That kit look so beautiful! And sounds amazing! Can't wait for future content!

[@giannibadeau3344]

Saaaaweeeet kit!!! Congratulations my friend! You've earned it!

[@jawnotindrummer]

Birch sounds great. I have an Eames kit with Pearl hardware. Congrats!

[@brunomaie]

Many congrads Adam!! Kit looks and sounds amazing!! Shout out from Portugal! See you in Seville!!

[@anthonyr98]

Beautiful kit Adam. Congrats and well-deserved my good man!

[@rhythmantic]

Good choice! My acoustic drum kit is Pearl. Your drums and drumming sounds fantastic.

[@aarushs9201]

Congratulations adam!! cant wait for more content with this kit! it looks and sounds amazingg

[@ginogab1605]

the tone and sound of your kit is stellar man 👌congrats 🍾🍾

[@homchickn]

Good for you. I like your work!

[@mister.wizard]

Absolutely gorgeous kit you designed Adam. I love your entire setup. The sound to me is pure heaven. Any chance for a list of every piece of your other equipment that made up this kit including cymbals? I would imagine this whole setup is extremely expensive (if you know what it costs), but I would start saving!!

[@sergeskubenich7732]

sick drum set. Pearl is an awesome company.

[@iconoclast1970]

I wish I could give this two likes. Congratulations and really love the sound of your new kit. Eagerly waiting to learn about your choosing of 15x13 floor room and the combination of the 4 ply birch, bearing edge and die cast hoops. Not surprised it such a dry focused sound. I play an old Master maple 4 ply and live the sound.

[@markbryant8321]

BEAUTIFUL ADAM WELL DONE . PEARL WAS MY FIRST KIT IN THE 70S PEARL COME A LONG WAY SINCE .

[@blueburnsred]

Gorgeous kit. Big congrats Adam!

[@matttildesley]

look's great and sound 's terrific!. good for you brother,must be stoked.

[@tmaddrummer]

Adam, over the years I've seen some of your videos, but other than that, I really don't know you. In all true sincerity, it makes me happy to see your happiness and to say that I am happy for you Drum Brother! Blessings!

[@mattl240]

This is super rad! I actually bought an SQ1 13,16,24 after a bunch of research and listening to your channel haha. I still love it. I also own a Gretsch Renown and love that. It’s great that you found what you wanted. One day I have eyes for a Gretsch USA custom! Keep making great content Adam!

[@jasonhawkins8022]

Great choice!

[@LENINsWORLD]

UGH IT SOUNDS CRISP AF, CONGRATS HOMBRE!🔥💀👍

[@christiancanalita6487]

Congrats Adam! Very well deserved!

[@rmcruzo]

Congrats Man!

[@traviswoodall6547]

Kudos on the 20x17 kick. I play a 20x16 primarily and I think it’s the best sounding kick drum I’ve ever played. Perfect amount of punch and low end and easier to haul.

[@kevinneimeyer9514]

I’ve had a vintage and a modern Ludwig kit for the past couple years. Before that a couple Gretsch kits and Yamaha kit. Haven’t played a Pearl kit since high school. They’ve had me looking at some of their newer stuff lately though. I swapped out the modern Ludwig for a DW Collectors kit a few months ago, but lately I’ve been considering one of the President Series kits for the house. Something about that vintage throw back appeals to me.

[@isaacleedrums]

That’s sick. Congrats sir.

[@iantouzel638]

Stunning kit and flawless drumming. Congrats

[@bigtimedrum]

Pearl is the best drums to play and I have been playing them since the 80's and never switched and they are very road worthy which is very important .

[@osibrathwaite2146]

Very well deserved bro!!!! Congratulations 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@xavierboudreau9282]

that kit looks sick!! cant wait for 2022 drum ideas

[@GSA_Drums]

Congratulations 🎉🍾 greets 😎🥁

[@fabiocacchioli9074]

Kit sounds great. I really love that snare. Nice crack to it

[@kellykuzinskir5182]

Yooooo!!!! That truly is a work of art. Congrats Adam!!

[@slimjim1104]

Beautiful kit.

[@samwerrell2104]

So stoked for you my dude! That triplet groove at the end is wicked!!!

[@UltraRareCustom]

AWESOME, so glad you went with a GORGEOUS Pearl Masterworks and chose an actual unique shell composition. Many often go with a tried and true shell, which I think is a waste when opting for a truly CUSTOM kit like the Masterworks, as anyone could easily buy a, *insert name brand* kit, for a fraction of the cost.

[@ryanblea3967]

Nice kit brother, I myself play pearl masterworks drums 6 piece as well

[@henriquemartins1618]

Congrats Adam! This is a great union! 🙌🥁🔥

[@nickpruett8022]

I respect Pearl and the kit you chose. Very beautiful

[@stevenmorse4386]

Awesome drum sounds

[@carltonharahuc2130]

The overall fit and finish of that kit is sick looking. I can see your watch flavor choices just looking at it.

[@jeffburman7832]

Well done! And the 15” floor Tom sounds perfect

[@everynameistaken567]

Wow I never pictured you as a Pearl guy. But that is a beautiful kit and congrats on the endorsement
