Thanks! Evans coated G2’s on the toms, frosted EQ4 on the kick. Power Center Reverse Dot on the snare.

@@DennisLeeflang I saw they were your own products, that’s cool! I would like to know if you have a reverb store? or if you deliver to Europe (France) ? Thank you !

I don’t sell these on reverb but I’m happy to ship to France. Just email me through my website.

@@DennisLeeflang Okok that's super cool, thanks a lot !

Thanks! Tuning videos are on my channel.

@@DennisLeeflang great that’s mega. I’ll have a look!

No not at all. I have both. The Superstars are more orange-brown and the Gretsch kit is more of a deep red-ish purple.

That was a Vic Firth 55A (or maybe a 5B) wood tip.

Not really my place to give away proprietary information on Savage’s behalf but I can tell you that Savage is still making bell brass snare drums with the same shells :)

Tuning is identical. Broken-in head, samples recorded a minute apart. It’s just very noticeable how the VP25 adds more harmonics in the lows, which makes you perceive it as the drum being tuned slightly differently, while it’s not. I’ve since sold the 312A’s and bought/built 4 more VP25’s so no more comparisons possible :)

Thanks for the info and update! I don't get the 312.. They sound closer to a Neve than an API to me.. @@DennisLeeflang

If it ain’t broke… The edges are in perfect shape and a big part of the sound.

Imo the relative mic position is of greater impact to the percieved sound than a typ of the stand, and then there is a big difference in production years thus influencing how long the cymbals being played, slight variations in their weight, are they both of the same shape ie. regular/sound edge as pointed out by others here

Absolutely. I have two. One in my studio and one for my live setup. I don't do a session or show without them and if one were to ever wear out, I'll get a new one immediately.

Thanks about to get one 2! (3..4)@@DennisLeeflang

Just got mine and only problem with it is that even though I tighted the base as much possible, it still rotates a bit.. did you have this problem also and if so how did you solve it? thanks again@@DennisLeeflang

@@CloseUpLoverI’m not sure how that’s possible. Mine lock solid. Make sure you tighten both the wing nuts on the bottom of the top and on the base. Make sure you balance the long nut on the opposite side of the wing nut on the top.

I do a lot of projects where I record the drums and also do the mix, and it definitely makes a huge difference. The tone/note of the tom is a lot more defined and more of it sticks through a dense mix, whereas a top mic only can result in the tone being eaten away and just the stick attack remaining. You also have a lot less cymbal bleed in the tom tracks because about 40% of the blend is the bottom mic (the way a 421 and 57 interact on a Y cable results in about a 60/40 blend).

@@DennisLeeflang oh okay that's good to know, I thought they would be equal level between top and bottom but with different mic output levels this way you definitely will get less bleed. It has only benefits from what I can see. Thanks for your advice Dennis!

@@DynamicRockers My pleasure! It’s not so much the output level, but rather the output impedance which, simplified, means how much the preamp is pushing back against the mic. The 421/57 combo is classic for this purpose because of how their impedance properties interact with each other and a preamp. You may not get great results with other mics. Not because other mics wouldn’t be great by themselves, but just because of their impedance.

Thanks! The brand names mean very little. Music stores were able to make up their own brand name and have the manufacturer slap that name on the badges and the store could choose wrap colors and lugs. It’s kind of an odd concept today since these were essentially custom budget kits, which are two things that wouldn’t go hand in hand these days. Although the shells couldn’t be customized. Anyway, my kit is a pre-Tama Hoshino kit. I have a Superstar kit from 1980 and the shell construction is 100% identical and clearly the same manufacturer, though built 15-20 years apart. Just different wood (Superstar is birch, Revelle is mahogany). Same 5-ply cross-laminated construction with diagonal seams. There were at least two manufacturers making these “stencil” kits. One would become Tama and one would become Pearl. The company that would become Pearl used very different shells. They were made of much cheaper, lighter wood (Luan, which is also a species of mahogany but much less dense and lighter in color) and the shells often had reinforcement rings.

@@DennisLeeflang That's rad, thanks for the info. I had no idea about the history of the drums, was initially just drawn to the design. Does this kit have re-rings?

@marccrossland785 My kit has no re-rings. They’re 6-ply 9mm straight (thick) shells. Again, identical to the 80’s Tama Superstar shells, except mahogany instead of birch.

Please email me via dennisleeflang.com :)

Nice! That’s the ride Nicko McBrain used on Brave New World and one of my favorite heavy ride cymbals.

@@DennisLeeflang Hey off topic, but what is your favorite Paiste China for rock/metal?

20” 2002 NOVO hands down. Honestly the only china I really love for louder music.

@@DennisLeeflang Thanks!!
