The Most Expensive Drum Set I Own - Oriollo Phantom w/ Seamless Aluminum Shells

[@rdavidr]

Whats the most you would spend on a drum set?

[@craigstrickland1572]

Would give $2.50 and a jawbreaker for Bozzio's kit.

[@ajbambino]

My monstrosity of a Rogers Big R kit costed me around 2.5-3K but I'm done adding stuff to it. Every other kit has been craigslist finds on the cheap!

[@Lauen]

I spent 790 bucks on a Tama Superstar Hyperdrive 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 22 shell pack + 3 tom clamps and fresh ambassadors for all 5 toms. Goes great with my vintage Superstar snare

[@craigstrickland1572]

@@ajbambino I had about $5K in my old kit but the thing is like cars, drums depreciate unless they are rare or celeb owned.

[@ryanneuheimer6464]

Chops?

[@girlspooptoo8567]

Yeah That was really good

[@Rockin_Ross]

Or based on how he’s talking (and his face when talking into the camera), how much weed he smoked before making this vid.

[@davewestner]

was kinda thinking the same thing. Haven't seen any of these videos in quite some time. Went from sounding good to totally pro. Impressive!

[@fabianschreck4393]

@@davewestner he sounds good, but sometimes he has the vibe of being too nervous. He drags or rushes slightly but could be me, I'm studying Audio Engineering.

[@Grayham4]

David once again proving that he cannot stop improving

[@jj0dyw0ah..21]

Okay, Is it just me or you have acquired more chops 😳

[@jj0dyw0ah..21]

Okay after watching this, ya look much for “flowy “ around the kit

[@GuitarBeard]

Definitely has

[@jooplin]

Bröther, I finally acquired the chops.

[@allanmalloy8266]

That kick drum has some legendary punch.

[@coreyw5981]

I swear it has a lot to do with being 12" depth. It bugs me that's not more popular. I really dont want 16" but thats how my kit came🤷🏻‍♂️

@@coreyw5981 send it to Precision and have it cut down.

[@evangarciamusic]

I honestly love the bit at 9:43 The transition from a louder part of the song to a laid back portion, I like

[@thomasnussbaum4711]

I bought some really expensive sets in the past. A few years ago I bought the dream sets of my youth which were out of my reach financially. No I bought them for around 500-700$ each. Tama Artstar I, Pearl GLX and a Sonor Phonic Plus. The craftsmanship was awesome back in the day. They‘re awesome!

[@banthafoddercmw3764]

I’ve rewatched that whole bit of you playing too many times and I can’t stop!

[@sonofjaguare]

I own the first Phantom kit that was made and shipped to the States. 13",16" and 22" shells. I have the DW clip on spurs and I changed out those floor tom legs/mounts with PDP legs/mounts. Love this kit.

[@markomarkovic5729]

They make their own hardware now

[@joshkiddfilms1295]

That's a great kit. ;)

[@ajbambino]

Hahaha duuuuuuuude that little swaggered fill at 8:09 was siiiiiiiiiiiick! Great song and feel brotendo!

Very tasteful.

[@musical_Kai]

One of my favorite drum demos you've ever made man, awesome!

[@Sam_McClurg]

Slowly becoming my favorite channel. You're so genuine and have interesting ideas. Keep it up my friend ❤️

[@andrewpensinger9891]

Best sounding kit on KZbin. I really like this style of video. And that tasty jam at the end. Thumbs up my friend

[@jooplin]

Everyone talking about chops but have you noticed the strange grooves? Like in the beginning where he purposefully placed those two bass drum hits a little to early and than later he was slightly laid back. Just awesome. This is really the great art of drumming.

[@johnnixon2504]

That mix at the end is very nice. The placement of each Tom in the image was locked in.

[@DZNTZ]

Yup, my Oriollo is also MY most expensive kit - 12/15/20 - and I wouldn’t part with it for love or money. Had to have it. If there’s a kit that speaks to you, BUY IT. (It took a year or two of selling off gear I didn’t use, and saving pennies, but I did it!) Life is short, fulfill your dreams. It’s worth mentioning that a true set of Oriollos (as built by Oriollo) is equipped with their own beautiful polished stainless steel lugs (and no janky bits, splay, dents, reamed holes, or stacked washers!) The latest iteration is the Tri-drop, a 3 facet teardrop reminiscent of the gorgeous old Sonor lugs. They also do some amazing finishes, as well as other seamless and cast metals… Browse the website for some droolworthy drumporn, but be warned - you might get hooked!

[@backwaterboatrehab]

Very cool kit David! Have a lot more 'warmth' to them than I would expect aluminum shells to have.

[@MDNDrums]

That closing performance was mesmerising. Hip hop into freestyle jazz into bossa nova, back into jazz??? Insane playing. And a beautiful kit!

[@roadrocket7]

My thoughts exactly. David flows into some Gadd licks as in a brief portion of Steve's amazing solo on Aja. Just MHO.

[@mountainhobbit1971]

LOVE that little burst at 10:20. so sweet.

[@maprow]

Good to see someone else playing an aluminum shell kit. I thought I was the only one. I bought my Trick Drums kit in 2013 and love it as much today as the day I picked it up.

[@C.D.Percussion]

Whoa! Definitely some of the best playing you have uploaded.

[@zb695]

Oriollo drums sound absolutely massive in person, even the smaller drums put lots of bigger sized toms/kicks to shame. Been planning to get me a kit some day for a while now.

[@RepJock88]

Let’s talk about that Roswell Incident of a ride. It’s a beast!

[@FREEZE11850]

love the camera work with all the different shots at the end

[@yackohoopy]

Drums sound awesome and I’m diggin’ your cameraman’s hat.

[@joshkiddfilms1295]

Def pretty early on in the shell making timeline for Oriollo when these were produced. I had the original prototype in 22,13,16 before selling it to the fine gentleman that commented below and that kit sounded unbelievable. Oriollo sent me a few others over the years...we did a few aluminum, steel, and I had the copper for awhile (heavy af), but ultimately just landed on a matte black aluminum in 13,16, 22, which I still have and use as my main kit. Theres really nothing out there that sound like these drums. Love them

[@armata6530]

I once saw G Love play live and his bass player had an upright aluminum bass. Would be an epic combo with this kit

[@AdamRedmond88]

Great sounding set of drums, and great playing! Bravo. 👏

[@shawnbruce6934]

This kit sounds Great. Wow. That Ride Cymbal..Magical. And Great Playing as Always.

[@VegasAlien1]

I played a kit of Trick aluminum drums at the Cubby Bear in Chicago about 11 years back. I brought my set because I didn't realize they had their house kit set up, and after sound check was happy to leave mine in the car.

[@keeganhammond1545]

The clip in the beginning of this video was so tight Dave great job.

[@bpaboyce]

Oriollo makes great stuff, and they are damn good people, too!

[@pierrevancraenenbroeck]

finally a vid of the Oriollo kit ! Thanks for that !

[@magic8ball222]

You should make a huge drum set, like taking all of your drums and cymbals and make it one huge colourful kit, I think that would make an awesome video

[@crankysports]

Those are probably the most beautiful drums especially with clear heads too

[@frankspikes7858]

I saw an oriolo kit at a music store earlier this year. They were painted green. They sounded beautiful.

[@pinelybones]

Was watching your old videos just as you uploaded this lmao

[@EchydnaRecords]

Great playing, i think the best I've heard you play. And also, did those cymbals come straight from heaven? Damn they sound good

[@crazy8sdrums]

That kit is freakin AWESOME! I am so in love! I am going to find some for myself!

[@cckratsch]

Those toms sound so dry and huge, I LOVE them

[@1dudecrush]

Oriollo bellmaker snares are one of my favorites I’ve ever heard. I think I read somewhere they use b14 bronze rather than b20 and the alloy sounds warmer and fatter than other bell bronze snares

[@markomarkovic5729]

Have you played/heard Oriollo Bakar? Sounds incredible. Btw, you're right, Bellmaker is made of b14 bronze.

[@echohawk9579]

the Noble and Cooley-Zildjian snare was B20 and prone to cracking that's why they came out with the ribbed version. people paid a lot of money for the Paiste-Ocheltree Spirit of 2002 which actually is a B8 bronze (Duluth), DW True Cast (Duluth B8) VK Kast B10. Oriollo tops them being B14.

[@muchopomposo.6394]

If I could have found an aluminium drum kit 10 years ago, I'd still be playing,now. Oooh, my poor old back! Love this vid', and the groovy music, too.

I have a Pearl Roadshow Series jazz kit in similar sizes.....12 x 18 kick,7 x 10 rack tom,10 x 14 floor tom with legs, & 5 x 13 wood snare....All shells are 6 ply poplar...Has a very similar sound to the kit you're playing here...I use it as my secondary kit....Got it brand new from Guitar Center in 2016....Nice little kit with all new Pearl hardware,stands, & pedals....Price was $350.....

[@rickcampbell296]

You are a great drummer, cool video!! Pocket drummer with tasty fills.

[@nram3930]

Someone had a good day on the kit... Cheers m8, looks fantastic!

[@WarrenBey]

Surprisingly warm sounding. I thought for sure they were going to be really bright and punchy. Nope! Pretty mellow kinda like a Mahogany kit. I bet it would sound good in a small brick room.

[@IT-kone]

It's said that aluminum shells produce one of warmest sounds when compared to shells made out of other metals. Bearing edges also effect a fair deal, don't know what these drums have though. Oh, but I also agree that I didn't expect such a warm tone!

[@JeserNoob]

That kit is polished up nice man!

[@stevenhiggins2258]

Really cool vid, revealed to me what kind of sound I want to achieve out of my drums. Also, the whole track at the end was so good, what a vibe

[@ajbambino]

They sound incredible and Oriollo makes amazing drums. I'm debating they're cast bronze snare drum

[@ARDrummer]

8:09 love that fill! Always enjoy your videos :) To answer your pinned question: I almost always buy used...don't think I would ever spend more that 500 or 600 on a kit :)

[@macvoutie]

I gotta say I enjoy the man's drumming.

[@benmikell1313]

But for real. Perhaps me favorite demo track so far. Drumming is crisp, controlled, and nuanced. Great stuff.

[@markazinker3212]

Love watching and listening to your drumming, very relaxing

[@silvermineband2719]

I also have these Oriollo drums with a 22” BD and 16” FT, but mine have the original hardware except I added a RIMS alloy mount to the rack tom. I do not, however, have your chops or anything close to it! My toms came with Evans UV1 batter heads and they sound amazing. I’d link to a video of them but my lack of chops would be exposed!

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]
