New Gretsch Broadkaster Kit with Tony McClung

[@charlesseagraves6210]

That snare sound! Holy cow! 😍

[@tmaddrummer]

What a great sounding and beautiful kit, and nice playing Tony! And..... that Noble & Cooley Snare is fantastic! Thanks and Blessings!!!

I grew up in Columbus and it was a great town to learn to play drums in. When I was in high school, I'd go watch Tony play every chance I got, and Columbus Percussion was a great resource with a lot of clinics, and a monthly drum circle, and especially Drum Daze. I bought my first real cymbal there almost 20 years ago with the discount I got with my Drum Daze stub, and I still play it today.

That amazing kick drum inlay just makes that kick sound better. That is my story and I'm sticking to it! :)

[@drummaman1]

and a properly tuned alloy classic to boot! Great drums, great drummer!

Gretsch orange is just flat out better than normal orange

[@ramonkey2939]

This kit really sounds good

FYI - Finally starts playing at 7:53

[@djevlhelvete]

Absolutely thank you.

Fantastic video, drums, and player. A "small world" story- my love of Gretsch drums brought me to this video, but I have a connection with one of Tony's band mates, the great bassist Jeff Ciampa. In the late 70's Jeff and I played together in Johnstown PA. It's great to see these two great players united in the Columbus scene.

[@ColumbusPercussion]

Thanks Brian! We definitely feel lucky to have guys like Tony and Jeff in town!

[@nickolausdiedrichsen8719]

That is an awesome color!

[@ChebaChicaFiesta]

amazing sounding kit and snare! Could you add details about the mics used? Thanks!

[@ColumbusPercussion]

We just use a 2 mic set up. A condenser overhead (above the player) and an Audix D6 mic about 30 inches out in front of the bass drum. The D6 is also angled down slightly to avoid extra tom sounds. Normally, the condenser mic we use is an Audix CX112B, but Tony brought in his own condenser for this recording. I'll touch base with him to get info on what that mic is and let you know. Thanks!

That orange finish is just killer.Dam,I love my Mardi gra finish but that orange ,oh man.

[@blakegowan6623]

Really dug the higher tuning of 8x12 tom towards the end.

[@fabiocacchioli9074]

Great drums. He sounds like Jim Root when he talks

[@blackwash]

That kit sounds good Holy shiiiiiiiii

[@AECJ1]

Broadcaster series Yes

[@tracywescott3085]

What heads and tuning range do you recommend for the 12 and 16?

[@williamrallis83]

This is sick. I want to hear about Gretsch and nothing else and no one else. Good bye

[@justhadrums]

same here

[@shanemartin8904]

Its great seeing older men put away their walking sticks and take up this instrument. I guess by hisplaying her has been at it for 2 or 3 years. Good effort

[@thegayge]

Man I hope you're a friend of his and just you're giving him a bit of grief

[@shanemartin8904]

@@thegayge what do you mean? He truly did a great job, its wonderful for the older generation to fill in their twilight years with meaningful activity. Its better than dominoes or bowling. Well done!!!

[@thegayge]

@@shanemartin8904 my bad this is really great

[@shanemartin8904]

@@thegayge apology accepted. go on with your day and lets put this behind us

[@roybeckerman9253]

Is that the kit’s matching snare, or something different.

[@ColumbusPercussion]

The snare is a Noble & Cooley Alloy Classic 6x14.

[@roybeckerman9253]

Columbus Percussion Would like to have heard a Broadkaster snare.

[@ColumbusPercussion]

@@roybeckerman9253 I hear you. We didn't have one in at the time, but we did do a Broadkaster snare comparison video a few weeks ago. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g365qYBpbtCorck

[@roybeckerman9253]

Pity he didn’t demonstrate the Broadkaster snare...it would have made more sense.

[@johnoconnor4984]

Sounds like a Memphis drummer

[@jesuspena1483]

Talking todo much .guys.wtf

[@jakehaller7650]

[@banditz3118]

Bill Perri absolutely Hes not even good 😂

[@banditz3118]

Bill Perri hes not a good player at all. Sure the kit sounds great but he’s absolute shit. Comparing him to jay Weinberg or Travis Barker he’s dog shit

[@banditz3118]

Bill Perri kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooGqoGWLZamkpac this is good drumming skip ahead a little after the interview

[@banditz3118]

Bill Perri I’m 1000000% better then this guy I can guarentee that

[@brianchisnell1548]

He's had 90,000 kits? And he picked an orange Gretsch. Prob. on sale. He's ok, too many beers at lunch maybe.
