    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/Mahog for sure. I too “beat my drums like they owe me money” and that one would fit the bill.

    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...

    • @ramencurry6672
      @ramencurry6672 3 года назад

      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.

  • @pibroch
    @pibroch 5 лет назад +10

    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.)

  • @breadwinnersurvivor4519
    @breadwinnersurvivor4519 5 лет назад

    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...

  • @mattbennett9467
    @mattbennett9467 6 лет назад +13

    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.

      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.

      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.

  • @FrankPCarpi
    @FrankPCarpi 6 лет назад +2

    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.

    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 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.
