These Solid Ply Drum Sets are Insane!

[@danolivier4899]

The kick is the average size of a NY apartment and MUCH cheaper.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

LOL. Great one! 😂🎉🎉

[@drumcenternh]

The correct way to look at it.

[@DogAfraidOfUmbrellas]

And no bedbugs or lead paint.

[@ZalmanStern]

A hair smaller than Abe Laboriel Jr's kick... A standard 22x18 is going to make the entire kit stick out four inches more and well, sometimes four inches is a lot.

[@Sheepstealer8927]

Oof💀❤

[@willymccabe6602]

What a fabulous video. Especially the head to head portion. We drummers are very fortunate to have DCoP and their excellent videos. Otherwise I know I'd never personally get to hear instruments like these made by artisans who are so incredibly passionate about their craft. Well done both Joyful Noise and DCoP!!

[@amazish]

Best sounding drums in your great archive of videos/recordings. Just unbelievable. The sound speaks for itself. Special sets! Congrats ! And thanks for uploading them !

[@drumcenternh]

Glad you liked them! They are pretty darn special

[@carlupthegrove262]

A treat for both the eyes and the ears.... WOW!!!

[@justhadrums]

I can't believe how good both of these sound

[@dancalabrese3523]

Beyond belief in sound, beauty and craftsmanship. I loved both kits, but that birch bass drum, holy crap! And Curt at Joyful Noise was smart enough to know that there was only one place to send his prototype kits to for presentation to the drumming world, DCP!

[@atishep]

The drums AND the snare are both fabulous sounding. That birch kick... chef's kiss.

[@diegoalbornoz483]

Those kicks and floor toms are ridiculous good sounding. Almost incredible.

[@William29274]

“Cuz that’s what we do here.” Well said! 🏆

[@canaanlawrence7351]

You guys should totally start putting a decimal meter in the back of the shot so we can see how loud eat kit is in the room.

[@joshuaweiner6378]

Wow the 10” and 12” toms are killer.

[@tobiaswinter1358]

Absolutely incredible sets, especially the birch! And your cymbal choice for this video is just superb!

[@jons3808]

The woodworker and drummer in me is blown away! Thank you for sharing these beautiful kits!

[@jean-lucemanuele7095]

Excellent sound and comparaison withe the birch a tad more precise to my ears. The snare is nothing short of fabulous. Thank you for your dedication. Your films are an audio encyclopaedia, a real reference.

[@jamestrembley7054]

yep wow, thanks Tony for everything and playing on these incredible drums!

[@tinterlande]

Thank you James 👊

[@kasperilse4878]

I really want to see Steve Jordan behind that first setup. That would be an amazing thing to see.

[@butchcassidy3373]

I surprised myself by liking the birch better. Beautiful kit and great video as always from you guys. Hope to be adding some more cymbals to my kit soon and will be buying from you guys again for sure

[@marcusfinchum6322]

So not only do these drums sound, look, and are built amazingly, the sound editing is TOP NOTCH. Maybe it has always been this way, but you all even take the time to move the panning of the mics to match the camera view. This is a details that most would overlook, but I LOVE that. I could only imagine the feel of hitting these drums! Very nice work DCP!!!

[@steverichdrummr]

Yeah, those are amazing. Something very special for sure. That maple 26" though, wow!

[@joc8]

Both kits speak with sonic authority, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail is “joyful”…I’m off to buy a lottery ticket! Great video DCP, thanks!

[@MarkMonolithOfficial]

Great craftsmanship. I prefer the tone of the maple, Thanks for continually bringing such high quality demos and comparisons!! Very much appreciated. It helped me buy my kit :)

[@qwe1231]

Loved the video. Then I clicked over to the website and saw the price. So.... I loved the video.

[@BillRayDrums]

You need a 50lb bag of kitty litter to clean up the grease from those grooves those drums emit. WOW

[@RobertLamontagne-qd8bo]

Damn those drums sound great!! Never played any Joyful Noise snares or drums? I can imagine being as thunderous as those sound, that the feel to the hands must be also satisfying? Great audio & playing also. Great job Tony. Thanks DCP

[@Leadman1]

Certainly, high quality drums, which sound incredible.

[@timbofromkeno]

Sweet lord of life, these drums are rad.

[@drumcenternh]

Right? Pretty insane!

[@lancelucifer4851]

Now that's sound.

[@kosonamsuk6116]

Thank you for sharing such joyful sounds with the world 👍❤❤❤ ( Your fan from Thailand )

[@62drumr]

I was just looking at these on the site yesterday. Great company. My Blackbird snare is my go to for gigs. JNDC is superb.

[@StuartJrBarrett]

The tuning is UNMATCHED!!!!! That quilted kit is EVERYTHING!!!!

[@soundknight]

How you play it still changes the sound more than exotic timbers. Having said that, I would love me a set!

[@timpricedrums]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful looking and sounding drums. 😍

[@richboshart1201]

Superb video as always gents and congratulations to Curt for stepping back into full drum kits. Works of art. I’ve admired his work for years and own a half dozen of his snares, including the knight Hawk ferromanganese played here, though mine lacks the extra engraving and dampening device (let her ring Tony!!!). At my advancing age, I have no use for these ginormous sizes but should Curt release some in more common sizes, I may be willing to extend my planned retirement out a bit to pay for them lol.

[@jaymeramirez7435]

Sounds like a drum set. Them cymbals sound like heaven.

[@PatricProsak]

Oh My , Those Quilted Maples sound like Creamy Butter , The Birch is like a Fat piece of Bacon Cooking just right .. Love the choice of Cymbals on both .. The Craftsmanship is off the Charts and i agree , on these you Totally get more than you pay for , well worth the Investment , Thank you for always sharing the finer things in life for our Listening and buying Pleasure .

[@JanPatrickLucas]

Spectacular as always Curt! Not to take away from your glorious effort here, but now let's knock 'em out with a TKO drum set?! That'd be wild!

[@gregharwood4532]

The maple kit is SICK!! Those floor toms are killer. The maple kick drum is a beat as well.

[@Lumerdrums]

the maple kit is one of the greatest sounding kits I've ever heard. the resonance in the toms is sooo good. sadly I could never afford them :')

[@drumcenternh]

Agreed and same...

[@jonaslangebro9533]

Best sounding and tuned drums ever !🌟🥁🌟- is it possible for you to give us the drum dial numbers ?

[@dave_sanderson]

Absolutely awesome drums, I'd legit sell a kidney for that birch kit. Also top deadpan dad jokes - laughing my head off! :D

[@LORDS-SWORD]

Very nice sound!! Should have set up a double kick and played it. But, informative video none the less. Thx!!

[@417DrumBob]

They sound great, but there's a lot of similarity between the birch and maple.

[@camerondean6804]

Great job again gents. Those 26" cannons look bombastic just sitting there. You don't have to hit them... just stare at them and imagine. 😊 You played them. The perfect kit for Big Bottom by Spinal Tap. Oh, I would say these drums go to 11 in fatness. 😊

[@keithbarnes9419]

These sound fantastic!

[@DennisSmyth-j8e]

The 18x16 mapel sings for at least 6 seconds, great sounding beast

[@DaxRushlow]

I could probably afford that awesome sounding 18" Birch floor tom.... Great sounding none the less.

[@1dudecrush]

Dang, in the head to head series you should have left it unedited. The amount of time they resonate, especially floor toms, is UNREAL

[@BubbaGrylls]

dude, for real...I thought I was hearing a weird sine wave thing in my speakers and then i realized it was the toms resonating! insane!

[@jefflane7899]

These are likely the best sounding drums I have ever heard!!! If I could afford them, I couldn't wait to record them!!!

[@mickgentry8128]

Some beautiful drums there that's for sure! that Flamed maple Kick was so fat and deep it makes other kicks jealous.

[@szi5443]

Could not hear a difference between the birch or maple but both sounded amazing

[@benroe]

the birch! both are awesome, but birch's cleaner tone was so nice under the mic.

[@DidYouReadEULA]

Like the birch much better, the room mics really showed their mellower tone, and when miced up they blew the maple out of the water to my ears.

[@weschilton]

Haha, those floor toms ring for DAYS... wow. Both are beautiful and are expertly crafted, love the minimal hardware... just one complaint. FLAT HEAD SCREWS??? Come on!

[@beatmasterbossy]

The quilted maple makes me feel funny. Like when I used to climb the rope in gym class

[@alvarocordova3664]

Amazing tone & looks on all the drums + all those Paistes a Rolls Royce combination.

[@petermasalsky8844]

Great video, as always. Liked the birch a bit more than the maple, even though my own kit is maple. That said, clicked the link for the maple kit and got this message: "We're sorry the Joyful Noise American Custom 6pc Drum Set Quilted Maple is discontinued. We've left the page up for reference only." I'm going to bet that the price was so much that you're saving us from being triggered.

[@drumcenternh]

fixed!

[@carlosleiva2825]

Those drums are something else, that’s near the perfect sound

[@drumcenternh]

Agreed!

[@bassplate]

The sustainnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Unbelievable. Great comparison. The birch didn't sound like ply-shell birch; it sounded lower.

[@hardcoreyorkie]

I'd go for the Steve Gadd option Birch Toms and Maple Bass drum. That 26x14 maple bass drum is beautiful. I've got a steambent maple snare and everyone should have a steambent snare if they get the chance.

[@drumdude68]

Earth actually has three moons. Two of which are these bass drums.

[@CodyOsburn]

High end kit comparison again, please! 🙏 🙌

[@karlmaanum4286]

Birch it is. If you don’t take a personal check, is layaway ok?

[@ianvjones]

Nice! They sound great!

[@krysborek8724]

hurry! sample all these!!! 😛

[@stephentyler4352]

Joyful Noise with their own wink and a nod to Noble & Cooley. Great drums for sale! It’s amazing when drum manufacturing companies push each other to make the best quality gear for us nerds. We reap the rewards when all the gear is top notch . 🔥🔥

[@krusher74]

It seems like he's taken all his favourite things from other companies and put them together: Noble and Cooley shells, Ludwig black beauty snares, tube lugs (or was that Leedy first?), and even a bit of Sonor ferromanganese thrown in!

[@rodpyle4241]

Holy Sh!!!!!!!!! Wow sounds f awesome

[@SaS-Music]

Ouch! I have massive cramping in my wallet. Superb! Absolutely gorgeous drums. Birch...I think.

[@daltonidaho]

Those bass drum reso heads look fantastic

[@cornholy69]

Wow, these are gorgeous and sound killer.

[@OlmezDrums]

that maple 18" RUMBLES !!

[@iandangerzone4997]

I don't know anything about JN, but these kits both sound *awesome* all the way around

[@OlmezDrums]

And I'm a birch guy but that maple kit sounds soooo good 😍 Yet 26x15 is a better size imo

[@indigo4953]

Maple wood being more dense tan birch I am surprised I favour the birch sound. I have heard of wood that has been submerged in freshwater and the qualities - I would like to hear them in the store. The finish on the kits is equally beautiful with amazing hardware. For special built kits I think the price is quite reasonable.

[@attilahajabacs6453]

Even through the room mics, they sound like cannons. How loud they can be in real life! For some reason, I prefer the birch kick and maple tom combination

[@bradc32]

both kits!!!what can you say? fab...i liked the birch shells

[@kennethmills5470]

I know the Maple would sound GREAT.

[@johnkracy9190]

They sound better with just the room mics ,in this video . I'll just shut up now lol. Very amazing ,gorgeous drums. My Wife said I can purchase 001 but in the afterlife...

[@drumcenternh]

They sound HUGE in the room mics, because they sound HUGE in the room!

[@JazzyJonas]

I didn't know the laws of physics allowed floor toms to sustain that long.

[@xyanide1986]

Can't go wrong with giant beat

[@blueavadis22]

Sweet ! I would like to make a bebop kit out of the maple kit 😊

[@DanMayhewDrummer]

I prefer the tone of the Maple tom's, they just carry a bit more in the mids and have a slightly longer sustain, but that Birch Kick shell, Boom! The attack is awesome.

[@dgrn101]

Hello good people of KZbin! I'm excited to announce that I am currently accepting donations and sponsors to get my very own drum set that you just seen. I am truly indebted to all of you who sponsor or donate. Thank you and good day 😎

[@pfunnk14]

Some of the best sounding maple toms I’ve ever heard. Jesus. I think I may like the birch bass drum a little better but wow… just wow. Can I just buy one drum? 😂 I think that’s all I can afford

[@gan_the_white]

Dagnabit! I was going to buy both sets, snare, cymbals, mics, and hardware because I had to have BOTH sets but the 6pc Drum Set Quilted Maple is not for sale anymore.

[@drumcenternh]

it's still for sale...just give us a call.

[@MikeP2055]

Hachi-machi! They both sound extraordinary, but the quilted maple edged out the birch by a fraction. (Although the 14×10 maple sounded a little odd. Maybe it was tuned slightly differently?)

[@af7119]

Fantastic give me 14 of them. Really.

[@Theratron]

Aaaaaand.... everything's sold out, haha 😅 I'm not surprised, they sound..... majestic. The best sounding drums I've ever heard. With the possible exception of Lignum drums in Belgium (they also do steam-bent solid ply drums) and the Stone drum company in Luxembourg. My vote here would go for the set-up of the maple kit, but I slightly prefered the sound of the Birch shells.

[@montearnstam6827]

The bass drum in insane

[@peterdent2019]

Thank you. How much is that birch kit? It's stunning

[@chillpillology]

these are insane! as are the prices. yeow!

[@JimWalkerMusic]

I like big drums and I cannot lie... A 26" Ride Cymbal? 20/22 crashes??? I mean WOW!

[@chriswright2250]

Beautiful ❤.

[@pawelmorrison]

I like the birch more. For a large kit like this it adds a bit of brightness and clearer attack. It's a shame you're gonna have to redo this video, because Adam forgot a plaid shirt again tho.

[@camshash]

Being a prototype, I'm curious how many JNDC are planning to make and if that will bring the cost down at all.

[@davepounds8924]

Those drums probably sound wonderful but it’s funny to me how people listening to the videos on a phone or a computer can really hear the sound of the kit I might be weird but all these drums sound pretty much the same on my computer speakers! You really need to listen to the drums live to make any judgement

[@erikdebower4307]

I can't help but think that John Bonham would have loved these :)

[@joeminter901]

Exquisite

[@stanfarr5625]

Can't quite decide which one souns better. Send them to me and I'll give you a complete report in a few years

[@DavidKrautscheid]

wait and see untill you hear true solid drums. these are by far the best you can get.canopus makes them also luka drums,antonio drums and a few others
