Cherry Mahogany is my winner. The Purple Heart is amazing. Then Cherry. Great video. Love you guys!
I absolutely loved this comparison. Great job! In my humble opinion, the Cherry/ Mahogany stole my heart. I love that tone! The Purple Heart is my second favorite but the solid Cherry is right there on its heels! I’m in love with DW and their shells . The way they CRAFT each shell, with the different grain pattern, the artistry and the love for their craft is incredible! Congratulations to an amazing drum making company!
Cherry/Mahogany w/ a Purple Heart snare. Shane, .... this was great, you should do more comparisons like this!
Cherry/Mahog for sure. I too “beat my drums like they owe me money” and that one would fit the bill.
Great video, guys! I’m sure your place is the one to visit.🤘🏻🤘🏻
Purpleheart definitely :)
Please do a video with few off top brands you have in store, let's say Tama Star, Sonor Sq2, Gretsch Usa custom, Dw collectors, Pearl masterworks? :)
This would be very useful for all drummers around the world so we would finally know the real difference between the top drum brands...
Krunoslav Benko This is a very good idea!
Agreed
Amen to that!
Dude you missed out Yamaha! Maple Hybrid and PHX sound superb! Maybe the best drums of all
Well I think the difference with the Gretsch and DW is that DW will tend to get a bigger and beefier sound and more suited for the stage if you’re looking for aggressive drums. The Gretsch will lean more delicate sounding and usually preferred by studio guys for the recording environment but still great on stage but may not be as monstrous sounding as the DW if that’s your style. Kind of like red apples to green apples comparison.
Cherry was the most “musical” for me in that each of the toms sang with the most defined pitch compared to the other two kits. Like playing a melody. No doubt this was aided by the cherry having a lack of boom compared to the other two. (I’m very attracted to playing kits where drums and cymbals have short decays where individual hits have clear separation.)
i agree. Cherry all the way! lol
Kick & tom toms- Purpleheart
Snare & floor toms - Pure Cherry
Excellent review. Loved hearing all 3
This is one of the best Drum Shops in the Nation, worth traveling long distance if you are serious about checking out and purchasing Equipment.
Thanks, James!
Amazing low tone! I vote for cherry/mahogany
I would buy and play every single kit of these three but my favorite is the cherry/mahogany....
It's an epic kit, haven't looked back after buying mine!
Then you're rich!
I can agree with you on that
I'm getting that drumset for Father's Day. Cant wait!
Is marry that set
They all sounded fantastic! The Purple Heart stole my heart though. Cherry mahogany came in at a close second. The cherry kit was a bit more subdued but sounded beefy and warm. Love them all!
Thankyou for giving the tune-bot settings you used, very, very useful....great stuff
You're welcome, John. Thanks for watching!
The cherry sounds very good and different overall from Purple Heart and the other kit. They are wonderful overall. I would choose Purple Heart
The cherry kit was my winner. Liked the overall tone and projection of it. As you said, though, all are incredible instruments.
Great video Guys, I am a proud owner of a DW Purple Heart kit. These drums are simply amazing, they sound awesome and a joy to play. The snare is unreal, so powerful and what a crack you get.
Great program, boys! I was able to stop into the new shop...blown away!
Thanks for stopping by, glad you could make it!
The cherry DW I WAS SUPRISED. Glad I like the cherry maple neusonic kit in my studio. Great demo
thank you for watching!
My Persoal Favorite was that Cherry Mahogany. It had the Heart that I found Fascinating in a Drum Kit. It had the Best of two Great Sounding Woods on the Market.
you know my choice.. Cherry/Mahogany! BIG.. But they are all great. SO much better than the standard collectors maple which I was not big on. Played the cherry mahogany for first time live this week, it shook the theater..
I started playing drums in 1980 and played for roughly 15 years of which 4 years I played professionally. I gave it up and just started again and 23 years later , wow is all I can say about DW drums, they are so awesome I can’t believe how amazing these drums sound and the hardware by itself is a reason to buy them if nothing else. I am amazed how the industry has advanced in quality and sound all around, even the PDP Concept maple drums sound amazing but if you can afford the Co,lector’s series, get them, worth every penny...
Never even heard of Purple Heart until this video and to me they sounded the best and I want one. Cherry Mahogany sounded great too. I didn’t care for the cherry as much but that finish is amazing!!
dreamer, go back to your trailer
I appreciated the sound of each kit but really liked the cherry mahogany.
oh wow phenomenal sound and talent love it thanks, Sir
I was expecting to love the Purpleheart the most, but that Pure Cherry kit really won me over.
You guys do such an incredible job with these comparisons! All three sound fantastic and similar overall. Not without subtitles as you stated. The cherry mahogany and the Purple Heart stood out a bit more with the Purple Heart taking the win for me. I may have to get a quote. ❤️
Thank you very much!
Personally what this demonstrates to me is that the actual differences in a real world situation are as subtle as the 'b' in subtle. I was in a store today playing a Catalina Club rock and it sounded fantastic. High end drums are about pride of ownership, feeling good and appreciating fine craftsmanship, far more than superior sound quality and there's nothing wrong with that. Cherry Mahogany for me, because I love the look of that rich wood on my shell interiors.
for touring musicians: quality and durability of hardware,
One day i was running sound for a drug rehab program. they had a band with recovering addicts.m They where good. But the drummer was amazing ! He was playing a very cheap kit with horrible heads and cymbals worst than ZBT's. Man...this guy made that kit sound like a million bucks. So your rite. Its the person playing not the drums. and I own a Catalina maple.
You couldn’t be more wrong
@@zenoncastro1809 exactly¡¡¡ you must choose the sound that inspires you the more¡¡¡ then you will be able to play better¡¡
I'm not a fan of DW. I find thier overall sound to be boxy. In videos, and in the stores. However, the jazz series is nice, and the purple kit in this video is big, and lively. The hardware is devine!! From the flatbassed, to the heavy-duty. Wonderful engendering across the board. Drum-set wise, I'm in love with grestch, ludwig, George H Way kits. Qs ain't bad either. That big full sound does it for me.
Cherry/Mahogany, except for the snare. I would add a brass to it.
In my opinion the sound of the DW Collector's Pure Purpleheart Kit it s fantastic and very powerful, it´s my favorite definitely.
I felt that the cherry snare was the most distinctive sounding drum - far different than the others. I prefer the purpleheart snare and the cherry kit but we’re talking nuance here.
Cherry/Mahogany Toms with the Purple Heart Kick and Snare!!! Awesome video guys!
They all SounD AMAZING but I have to say purple heart, but a mixture of purple mahogany definitely would be the kicker! Love all the shoot out videos.. gives very specific information on drum sound, specs at all aspects and questions one may have..
Looks like a lot of nice vintage snare drums on the shelf behind them!
Great video! I like the presentation and details on how the kits were tuned and selected, especially the Tunebot settings and what kind of mics and EQ were done. We need more of these! Would love to see a Ludwig and TAMA video!
Glad you liked it! Stay tuned for more!
Thanks for sharing .
Here in Brazil I still have not seen any purple heart kit.
But for sure is my favorite
Doug Sen in Texas (America) and I still haven't seen any Purple Heart kit.
Once again, you guys, nailed it!
Great video and very instructive.
I have a Purple Heart drum set custom made made in Brazil in 2007, and man, those Dws reminded how lucky i am to have such a sublime drum set for a fraction of the cost of any of these kits in the US.
Punchy, loud when needed, yet dark, throaty and tone for days!
Die-cast on everything, coated Ambassadors, and we're good to go!
DrumsJulz nice, how does it sound?
I'm sure this was extremely time consuming, thanks! I absolutely love the sound of the Purple Heart! Especially the snare, you have it wide open yet is really FAT!
It was very time consuming...but there are worse ways to spend you time! Thanks for watching.
Excellent video. More like this please.
purpleheart is the kit for me. I love the articulation.
Cherry/Mahogany is punchy and deeply resonating. I love the tone of each one, how can anyone say that the one is better except for customized matching to your niche, and genre for which you most often play? I do like the Ch/mahog the best for my style. That deep end just resonates with me and my beefy powerstroke, and yet it rings sweetly on ghost notes without cutting through too strongly. I love so many of the kits at DW, that IF I COULD afford it, I would go directly to meet with John to have him recommend the right kit for my style. I love the heavy jazz, psychedelic blend of something like Ozric Tentacles, or Idiot King on the song American Jingo.
Thank you for this video.... right know I’m in the process of buy a brand new DW kit and this lovely video is a blessing !!! Regards!!
all DW sets rock.they are the best drums in the world
I'm with you Shane, The cherry/mahogany bass drum and toms with the purpleheart snare. I would love to hear them together, I'll bet it's outstanding!
Purpleheart for me. They all sound great but those just have the right amount of thump and tone imo.
It’s drums fit for a king. If you get the drums play them loud and your neighbors will smile
I thought I'd fall in love immediately with the purple heart kit, but ultimately I liked the all Cherry kit the most as it seemed to ring out the purest of all (listening with over-ear Nuraphones, important to note); however, if I would probably still take the Purple Heart snare and couple that with the all Cherry kit. Great job guys, thanks!
Purple heart sounds amazing
It’s drums fit for a king.
Pure Cherry BD : Cherry/Mahogany Toms : Pure Purpleheart SD. Another great video! Great job Tony, the audio is fantastic!
I didn't know cherry wood sound so good. Cherry /mahogany kit sounded great for me
I listened to this again with headphones , Purple Heart for sure with the Cherry / Mahogany a close second
PurpleHeart is my favorite. They all sounded superb but the low end toms really kick. Loved the kick drum and the snare especially!
Purple Heart for me. I like the slice and projection of the toms and snare. The kick had a really well rounded, meaty low end with tone that complimented the other drums. I’m with Shane...I’m ham fisted and the Purple Heart sounds like it’d suit my playing.
Definitely nailed the snare tunings.
I vote pure cherry for the bass and snare sound, maybe use purple heart for the two mounted toms, and use the hybrid for the floor toms. The kit should sound ALMOST as good as a Pearl kit.
I would have to vote for the Purple Heart, that kick drum is so deep and amazing!
Purple H Bass and snare drum was head n shoulders above through here. Also, another technique with a shootout like this is to tune the drums to their strengths rather than all the same because...they aren’t the same. Some will sound better in certain tunings by the nature of being different materials. Never heard of Purple Heart though. Would love to hear them in person. Cool video! There should be more of these.
Erick Fernandez Yes!!
I recently got a DW purple heart kit an compaired it to my DW maple collectors kits an I have to agree!! The purple heart kit has amazing attack cut an fatness the floor tom an kick go nice an low the snare is one of my favorites out of all the snares I have!! My older maple DW kits are very warm an round with ample bottom!! Like you said touch to pick a winner all 3 kits you played were amazing I love my DW drums !! Keep up the good work peace Ed dilley
Those purplehearts sound AMAZING! The cherry snare sounds rad as well. I've always liked the sound of birch snares, so that makes sense for me.
Purple heart stands out as the winner. The other two sound as if your banging on plastic!!
the recording is fantastic!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
I have plenty of carne in my hands as well, as a hard rock/metal guy I'd lean towards the Purple heart, but agree that there's no wrong choice between the three. Love that Purple heart kick!
Really for me... purpleheart bass drum and snare and cherry mahogany toms and floor toms...
I've got the Cherry / Mahoganny and it's a great kit. I'd gladly add the PurpleHeart to the music room
I’m taking my chances with the PurpleHearted Shell because that bass drum, thunder. Straight thunder
Amazing the differences you can hear, I think I liked the Purple heart best
The Purple Heart is the winner... sound just alive.. I know once I put Evans g2 clears with resonant, eq3 plus pad is a wrap!!!!the snare would be in the gunshot range with my Evans hybrid / 300 on bottom.... tasty!!!
Wow those guys know their stuff!
They are the best looking drums ever.
The Purpleheart I don't know the wood at all but keep the pitch well, the density of the wood seems to work perfectly!
I really liked the the Pure PurpleHeart too
Please do a video on that brand new Tama star walnut kit u guys unboxed. That kit looks absolutely stunning and sounds just as good.
Great sounding kits.
Maple/ mahogany.
I know its not in this video, but it’s still the drums i picked. and there unbelievable❤
I have the cherry mahogany and I love it!
The Purple Heart made my heart feel the music. The Cherry was mushy.
Pure Purple Heart. For me it’s birch, cherry/spruce and then pure Purple Heart. My three favorite
How am I just finding this? Great video!
I take Purple Heart rack Toms and Cherry floor Tom's. Or make it easy sq2 haha
Cherry mahogany. I'm a sucker for the warmth of mahogany. It has a beefier lower end but with the cherry it still has a lot of bite.
I kind of like the Bass and Snare from the Purple heart, and the Toms from the Pure Cherry.
Am with you, the first two seem to edge out the cherry. Good shoot out . I play bass and watch drum video just and try to understand drum more.
I really love the cherry/mahogany kick drum but prefer the purple heart toms. I don't particularly like the pure cherry. Great comparison.
You cannot go wrong with any that’s why DW is the greatest drums on the planet pure custom
Great video, nice demoing and info
Thanks for watching!
purple heart i loved i think the floor toms were perfect maybe the largest one just a hair lower. i tune my kits to a fourth apart like the song" here comes the bride" i this this might have to be my next kit DW purple heart but i would need one or two more toms and bass drum i like big sets. i listened through apple AirPods pro with noise cancellation and and air pods max with noise cancellation. purple heart all the way
Purple Heart for my ears!
Méchant beaux kit de drum, un son incomparable
I like shorter drum sizes if you use a 14x16 floor tom you will have more low end and a lot of punch I learned a lot watching a drum build that john good from DW did with Mick Fleetwood he built a Cherry kit for Mick Fleetwood and man those drums are awesome
Wow awesome sounds.....
my god the purple heart kit is killing me, why god, why...I want this drum set !!!! I need 10 grand stat!!!
Since there is a PurpleCore Hybrid with Mahagony, Maple and Cherry now, I would love to hear/see a video on that!! Please! 😃
Definitely a good thought for a future video!
Wow what tone on all Best liked Purple Heart stole mine send me a set ASAP Ahhh! 🇨🇦🥁
Good BD. Purple heart
Whole Purple heartly agree!
I love DW collector series Cherry Mahogany
Purpleheart sounds awesome
Awesome ! I'd go Purple Heart , I'm more touch then crush.
I'll mix it up purple heart snare and kick.
Cherry toms and cherry / mahogany for floor toms.
You could always Frankenstein a final kit with your favorites drums from each of the three
I own a 7 piece purple heart and thinking adding 2 or 3 more toms to it
Cherry/Mahogany for sure
Drumset #1 AWESOME. Drumset #2 AWESOME. Drumset #3 AWESOME. So..... which one is awesomer??
Purple heart sounds really good to me
Cherry has those "black brass" tones in a wood shell. Bright and a tad ringy but still has depth.
