TOP 5 - Best Professional Drum Sets

[@roybeckerman9253]

You should keep acoustic and electric drums, on separate videos..

[@musicessences]

Thanks for the feedback!) I develop and learn every day.) this video was about all drum kits. I did not divide them into acoustic and electric ones deliberately. however, in the future, of course, if I make more videos, I will separate them.

Dont combine differences category mechanisms,

[@alexdaniel6058]

Ofcouse ,this is the drum segmen, in very, quality and meaningful reviewing as its had a different real drum and artificial build unacoustic

[@rocoafricamg1094]

[@ami_v8792]

dude i really appreciate your work but please.... we want to hear the drums only and not with that bot voice in the forground. And to be hornst... I like all of these drums but i dont know how many vids i´ve seen about a Starclassic etc... I mean i liked our school Sc Maple and the sound was incredible but its nothing special to me.... I love my Natal Fusion Ash because thats something special that not everybody knows.

[@musicessences]

Hi, man!) appreciate your feedback! I'll definitely develop methods and approaches for making videos. Your feedback is very important to me.. now I know what to improve!) btw - cars are my passion too) wish you all the best)

I understand achieving better tone from drums with better materials. But if the drums are of the same head sizes and dimensions as the cheaper kits…How are they harder to play? I don’t understand… Please explain.

[@musicessences]

Thank you for your insightful question about the playability of drums with different materials and price points. You're right to question this, as it's not immediately obvious how drum quality affects playability. Let me explain: 1. Shell Construction: Higher-end drums often have better shell construction, which can result in more even bearing edges. This allows for easier and more consistent tuning, making the drums more responsive to your playing. 2. Hardware Quality: More expensive kits typically have higher quality lugs, tension rods, and other hardware. This can make tuning more precise and stable, allowing for better control over your sound. 3. Resonance and Sensitivity: Premium drums often resonate more freely due to better materials and construction. This increased sensitivity means they respond more readily to subtle nuances in your playing, allowing for greater dynamic range. 4. Consistency: Higher-end drums tend to have more consistent shell thickness and roundness. This translates to more even response across the drum head, making it easier to achieve the desired sound no matter where you hit. 5. Tuning Range: Better quality drums often have a wider tuning range, allowing you to achieve a broader spectrum of tones. This versatility can make it easier to adapt to different musical styles or performance situations. 6. Weight and Balance: Premium drums are often lighter and better balanced, which can make them easier to position and play, especially during long sessions. While these factors don't necessarily make cheaper drums "harder" to play in a physical sense, they can make it more challenging to achieve and maintain the desired sound quality. However, it's important to note that with proper tuning and technique, even budget-friendly drums can sound great. The key is finding the right balance between your budget, playing style, and sonic goals.

No electronic kit should even be considered drums are wood

[@musicessences]

I feel you) will be taken into account. Thanks for the feedback)

Top 5 drum kits I think the information is 💯 correct based on the Pro Drummers

[@derek5168]

@rocoafricamg1094 rubber cymbals cymbals like zildjian are made by master craftsmanship rubber is rubbish electronic kits are good for apartments the old electronic kits at least you were using real cymbals just one or two with a acoustic set up is a good idea

AQ2 over SQ1? How?

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

My Gretsch USA customs did not make your list. I'm okay with that. As such, your list means nothing to me. I would never pick any of the drums on your list over mine. To be clear, these are all fine drums, but "best" is purely subjective.

[@musicessences]

Ohh.. mannn) It's definitely top) I'll make another video and include the Gretsch in it. These are great drums, no doubt. I hope someday I will also have - USA Custom or Broadkaster. Are you happy with it? Do you recommend it before buying? how much did you buy them for? what is the finish?

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

@@musicessences I ordered my USA customs about 10 years ago, a standard bop sized kit with a matching snare drum. The price for these drums will vary depending on how you want them customized. I think I paid about $3,800 for the 4 drums and I did add quite a few options. I think If I were to order the exact same set today I would probably have to pay about $4,500? The finish is satin walnut. A very classic finish. I've always preferred the natural wood colored stains. BTW, I also have a Gretsch New Classic set in white marine pearl. The USA customs have that classic Gretsch sound from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. A short note, strong mid-range, a quick attack and a very warm decay. I believe they still hold the title for the most recorded drums ever. The "Broadcasters" are similar to the old 40's and 50's Gretsch round badge drums. They have a vintage sound like old Slingerland drums. Very warm and very dry. The USA's are punchier and brighter. I'm very happy with the USA customs. These days there are several drum companies that have their own version of the Gretsch formula shell, they are all on the more expensive side within their individual brand line-ups and all of them sound pretty much like the Gretsch USA's. I love that sound. I figured why not go with the original.

[@musicessences]

@@jeffreyalexander7504 I love music so much) and especially the drums. 😍 That's why I started this channel to be more with music, to bring some value and to be able to get additional funds to buy better drums than I have now. Here in Ukraine it is almost impossible to collect such money and find exactly the drums you want (from the higher segment) How you get to the USA customs? and why? Are you professional musician (gigs and so on)? or just playing for yourself? And I wonder what genre you play in?

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

@@musicessences You may want to consider buying a used set of USA customs. The problem is they hold their value quite well so you still need a few bucks to get a used set. I settled on the USA customs the minute I hit the 12" x 8" rack tom in a music store. That drum had the sound I had always heard in my head. I grew up listening to Gretsch round badge drums on Motown records, 60's and 70's pop music and bebop jazz from the 50's and early 60's. I have always loved their distinctive sound. I'm 62 years old and it took me 40 years to be finally able to afford these drums. I am a semi-professional player. Most of my experience comes from playing in a piano trio with an upright bass. I studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship. Be patient and wait until you get the drums you've always dreamed about. Tap as many different drums as you can. The live sound you get in person is a better indication of their sonic qualities! Hang in there! Good luck.......

[@musicessences]

​@@jeffreyalexander7504 Thx for the conversation) And thank you for supporting the channel by subscribing and feedbacks. Soonish I will make a separate video about Gretch USA Customs. Stay tuned, wish you all the best!

An electronic set doesn't belong here at all.

Why not combine your own drum top 5😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stevenfederico2594]

Alot of hate for electronic drum. They play a huge part in the drumming community

[@Doogsay]

Good video however Roland kits are overpriced across the board.

[@HaxStudio]

Why do you use the robot voice instead of a narrator? Do you need one?

[@musicessences]

Thanks for the feedback!) My native language is not English.. I can record a video without a robo voice.. I just don't feel very confident.. But I will try to record a video with my own voiceover in the near future. In your opinion - it is better to use my own voiceover even if it's not the best english or still use a robo voice? thx

[@HaxStudio]

@@musicessences Definitely better to use your own voice, or ask someone to help with narration and fixing the English in your scripts. Plenty of people will do that for free if they can just get tagged in the description. Always something to consider, because the information is great! That voice is hard to listen to though.

[@musicessences]

@@HaxStudio Thank you for the advice) I will fix it in my next videos soonish) I wish you all the best.

[@m.vonhollen6673]

@@musicessences I agree. Either use this as an opportunity to work on your English or work with an English-speaking associate. No robot voice!

[@musicessences]

@@m.vonhollen6673 I'll do my best to resolve this issue. thx for the feedback!)
