[@RockerGirl]

I thought you warped the bass drum in your thumbnail😂 The kit sounds great!

[@somerandomguy4760]

Yeah same here but it's a damn good kit. Hopefully they can add a thing we're it could have different wraps

The bassdrum looks like a shart, and that’s what’s so powerful about it.

[@spencerharding5328]

That’s how my brain felt when trying to figure out why and how….

[@youtubepoopoo7721]

Shart💩

I've never visualized a shart. Thank you for new understanding and discoveries. I'm now one step closer to master level enlightenment.🤘

[@zacharymicah]

Damn Samus, you are one hell of a solid drummer! I can listen to you play all day!

[@MemzBeats]

DUDE! metal drumming on this thing sounds like late 80's death metal! so beautiful!

[@diegoleiva7242]

Yup. Reminds me a bit of Dave Lombardo's tone in Reign in Blood to be honest.

[@davidrustylouis6818]

The kick looks like it's melting from Samus's sick playing & his super-heated cav.

[@h0lzm1chl]

Its really cool and fun to see Samus on this small kit. Great creativity!

[@66Samus]

Thank you very much Fabian!!

[@tomstr21]

It'd be interesting to put two bass pedals there..one for the 12" and one for 18" side. If thats even possible

[@owenwilkinson9162]

Samus has to see this

[@ben5660-k8t]

I bet if he has a straight pedal and then one remote it would be super easy.

[@66Samus]

Yes it's possible! I did try it, but since I tuned the bass drum as evenly as I could, the mics weren't picking up a lot of the tonal difference. You mainly hear the difference just being in the room itself. The larger side has a lot more "body" to it

[@ben5660-k8t]

@@66Samus That makes sense. Have you experimented much with the different tuning zones? I wonder how a shape like that would react.

[@SydneyDrums]

That’s the whole point of this drum when it originally came out in the 50s

[@YannSelka]

Dude, I honestly just enjoyed listening to you play without the triggers. It feels like I'm hearing a whole new aspect of your playing for the first time and I love it :)

[@brewstergallery]

Thanks for responding. I really appreciate it Samus !

[@Doinstuffman]

those socks tho 😂😂😂

[@Tubz_Mcgee]

That funky part at 6:33 reminds me of the Bernie Mac show theme song. I love it🤘

[@gcorriveau6864]

"a few" (ahem) years back, playing with a high school weekend rock cover band - I owned a Trixon kit (with regular shapes)... I loved the German engineering in the hardware that provided for quick setup.takedowns. Like this model - the ride cymbal and hi tom arms telescoped into the kick drum-shell. The snare and hi-hat legs were aluminum and spring loaded. These were lightweight, but sturdy and literally just a Snap to set up. They sounded good too and were very affordable. I'm glad VOX is carrying on some of these features.

[@ivancortes7415]

I like how the vox kit is just there all innocent and the monster kit is in the back staring it down

[@juliusbishop3629]

I got a 65 speedfire kit in 5th grade. Had to send old bass drum heads to Remo so they could make new ones. There was differences in the molds and that is how they made sure you got the right heads.

[@PeteRamos7]

That kit looks so sick. I dig the jazz and 70’s disco groove you’re playing on it, plus the metal groove at the end was bad ass! Great video Samus!

[@thegreatpapyrus1518]

It sounds so good it almost feels like one of those actually good presets on an e-kit

[@killthepitbull4761]

Your magical old man hair makes me anxious. I need to pay a person who simply gives you a help friend.

[@jamesberlo4298]

The Bass Drum may , It may look radical, ,even kind of stupid and no practical reason other than a Funky / Artsy statement of the times , but it did function and it was made to have Two Single Bass Pedals, It works !.

New subscriber! 66Samus! Heck with drums... you don't need drums. You're hair and beard game is too strong! I walked into a club 2 years ago and seen a set of these and thought it must get fucking hot in here! The kick is melting!!! I was so intrigued, I came back on Friday and heard the band and those Vox boxes kicked ass!!!

1:28 Bonham/Grohl Love it

[@brewstergallery]

66Samus ! Ned from Spain here. Awesome kit and playing of course. Trixon had the coolest weirdly shaped drums ever. Vox did license their drums back in the 1960s. I've seen in original Trixon brochures that there are 2 zones of the BD. I'd love to hear what it sounds like with the 2nd beater hitting in the far left "zone". Did you ever see the conical shaped ones ? This would be perfect for Nyango Star to play.

[@Timetofly8888]

Crazy. I literally saw one of these in a store window yesterday as I was at traffic lights. Stoked you've reviewed it !

Dude, you honestly sound better without samples. Wtf I thought the samples were doing most of the work when I truly think that the samples are holding you back. COME TO THE DARK SIDE SAM.

[@melinda2763]

im with this to be honest

[@badwolfsat5]

A popular misconception is that using triggers and sampling somehow makes you a better drummer or "does something" to make one sound better. In actuallity, it can show how much of a shitty drummer you really are. The only thing they really "cheat" is tuning a kit. You want a kit that sounds like your favorite drummers, no problem, just trigger it. It has it's advantages and disadvantages.

[@Vicente_Moreno]

@@badwolfsat5 it's not a misconception. Drum triggering makes your hits more consistent than they actually are. It doesn't make you a better drummer, the same way guitar editing doesn't make you a better guitarist.

[@Vicente_Moreno]

@@badwolfsat5 also with drum triggering it's easier to snap to the grid your midi track so that it sounds "perfect".

[@diegoleiva7242]

Yup. I prefer the tones he got out of this weird kit over his "perfect" tones on every other video. Way more character to everything. The kickdrum was too muted for metal but that snare, holy crap.

[@dropbearrc9819]

Notice whenever metal musicians play a funk or disco beat, We all make the same face and head wobble at some point in the song, as if to say, this is tight, but what are we doing? 6:38
