[@manuelschoter7087]

Wtf 😮 sounds amazing man 👌👌👌

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks man!

[@atomicsun72]

Congratulations on your new acquisition. Very nice indeed.

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate!

[@totigerus]

The kit looks and sound great. The guitars were cool and reminded me of Incubus. The snare gave me a semi chub.

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! Understandable - the snare is chub worthy

[@elireardon]

Saying my guitars remind you of incubus is giving me wayyy too much ego bahahaha. Thank you!

[@lrizo3841]

Bro, I'm listening and watching this on my JBL surround sound, and this drum kit sounds amazing, and I mean everything & that snare is superb.. you made a good choice

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thankyou!

[@brunoveron9314]

gosh the sound is amazing ! congrats bro'

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! A Declan White mix really shows what these babies can do!

[@thepluggy1]

Dude, that's a killer kit. I love the style of the pinstripe too. How about Betsy for the kit name? 😂 that snare is sweet too. I was thinking while watching, "what the hell is that snare" it's very nice. Congrats 🤘😎🤘

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thank you bro! Betsy is a good suggestion! I’ll keep that one in mind!

[@declanwhite]

hell yeah

[@EliGreenDrums]

Pretty sick mix. Wonder who did it

[@julianandreaswiggins5756]

[@banenamuffin9842]

Congrats)

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate!

[@willm2624]

Beautiful kit, sounds amazing and great playing. Maybe name the kit “Darkie” opposing “Blondie”, simple? Or for me, I’d be naming that kit “Balerion”, aka the “Black Dread” dragon in game of thrones that Aegon the Conquerer rode. If you’re into to that story. 🔥

[@EliGreenDrums]

THE BLACK DREAD 😂 I kinda love it

[@willm2624]

@@EliGreenDrumsplease do 😂

[@GatoPaint]

nice sounding kit ! question ! what do u use to keep the clear heads clean ?

[@EliGreenDrums]

They’re fairly new, that’s the easiest way 😂 otherwise a gentle rub with a microfibre and some gentle surface spray gets any dust and crud off

[@nickbutler4809]

They are beaut. Those dream cymbals are sounding sick as well - do you rate them? That snare as well omg

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! I’ve been an artist with Dream for like a decade now, so yeah, I rate them! Haha. They’re awesome cymbals. Huge range, amazing sound quality and better priced than most other companies. Big fan of

[@caleb_stephen]

Congrats bruv. Glad you posted this as well because finding technical C&C info content can be tough. Oddly specific question, have you had opportunities to play on 12th & Vine kits? And if so, what made you go Gladstone over 12th & Vine?

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! I agree, there’s not a tonne of specific info videos out there. I’ve used the 12th and Vine a couple of times. They’re a little more mellow than the Gladstone, which are a little more straight up rock and roll. But both very versatile and great sounding kits. The maple 6+6’s are also awesome in this sort of vein.

[@marcusfinchum6322]

This kit sounds great and definitely fits the sound you were going for. The black and white makes me think tuxedo but like a bad ass tuxedo.... So call it Bruce Wayne.

[@EliGreenDrums]

Yo it is like a tuxedo! Great spot! Thanks mate

[@willm2624]

Have you considered creating your own discord server where yourself to Patreon members, your community and us drummers can connect and share information? Granted I know you’re probably really busy, but I have a friend KZbinr who does this and it’s worked out great for all of us! Looking forward to the great content, cheers from the US!

[@EliGreenDrums]

Genuinely good idea. Something I might do down the line. But it’s not something I have a tonne of time for at this stage. Would be super cool though!

[@willm2624]

@@EliGreenDrumsyeah man, it would be nice to have quicker access to answers from you and not have to list multiple in a KZbin comment. A perk of a Patreon member perhaps. But I totally understand not having that kind of time. Just a thought, rock on man.

[@scottapthorpe6172]

Sounds great... agree with you on lacquer v wrap finish....I see so many beautiful lacquer kits, but to me there like fine furniture, very fragile...a beaten up lacquer finish kit to me doesn’t look great....

[@EliGreenDrums]

I love a nice clean grain finish but I agree, when they get dinged up it’s so brutal.

[@gaga1985dw]

The sound is really good, which interface and preamp do you use?

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thank you! I record through a Soundcraft Ui24R, with no external preamps.

[@kioshi64]

Kit looks and sounds amazing but that snare was the star of the show! Can you share some info on it?

[@EliGreenDrums]

It’s a 14x7 3mm oversized cast bronze snare made by Cusworth Drums. Declan White who mixed the audio here is the guy who built it. HIGHLY recommend if you’re after that iconic Tama bell bass sound.

[@uglypineapple03]

Ayo sounds killer. Little question though, what's that China? Has a really sharp bite to it, that I very enjoy

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! It’s a 20” Dream Lion China! The 18 is even more bitey, the 20 is a bit softer on the attack but I love huge cymbals 😅

[@DSharon3]

Did I somehow miss you saying what snare drums (main & aux.) you used? Is the main snare a Dunnett, Paiste, or Zildjian?

[@EliGreenDrums]

Cusworth drums 3mm Bell Bronze! And the side snare is a 12” Sonor Beech

[@DSharon3]

Thank you! Great sounding drums!

[@johannjohann6523]

C and C Drums? Why would you buy a new C and C drum set? They are only some of "The Nicest" well made custom drums in the world! Why would you want those? Just get ya a Pearl Export Series drum set and you're good to go. lol. Does Pearl even still make the Export Series? lol Seriously, sweet drum set. It's Always nice to have a custom drum kit that is made in America, if ya can afford it. Glad you can ! Now make a promise to yourself: It doesn't matter if it's girls, starvation, earthquakes, Tsunami's, (drugs) or WW III, make a Promise to NEVER SELL THE DAMN THINGS! The best life in this world one can achieve, is a life without regrets. Peace.

[@EliGreenDrums]

Haha thank you. I love my C&C’s. They aren’t going anywhere!

[@moonodude17]

I'm liking "Phantom" or "Royce" (a lil' h/t to Rolls Royce)

[@EliGreenDrums]

Simple and effective Royce ain’t bad!

[@johannjohann6523]

And to have a life without regrets means - You must in life "DO WHAT YOU LOVE". If you don't "Go For It" and follow your passion, you will never find your purpose in life. Instead you'll just end up with a paycheck, and just as poor and in debt as if you still went into music. lol. The problem with being an artist? All of your work becomes more valuable upon your death. I think it was greedy record Executives that came up with that one. Either way, I got an accounting degree instead of a music degree and live music recording. Biggest regret of my life. So don't be a big dummy like me. If you love music, then make it your career. Make it your Life. Do What You Love! We only get 1 life so go for it!
