The PDP graphic says it's a 26" kick drum. It's a 24" kick drum. The video guy has issues.
Can you detail a bit your miking process, especially rooms and overhead ? sounds really good
Blaming team members for issues is lame. You are responsible for your videos! Sorry but I work in post production audio and can't stand the blame game even for a second.
@@GingerDrums Dude, it was meant as a JOKE, I'm fairly certain. You must not watch Shane and the other guys very much. They all poke fun at each other. Lighten up, buttercup
@@GingerDrums guess you dont have fun co workers
@@GingerDrums the video guy wrote this comment, we all get along, don’t worry!
great old school drums. i like the room microphones- they don't lie
YUUPPP
Me either..
They sound great
Would work well with hard rock type of music or old style big band. Something like from the Johnny Carson show orchestra band would be good
The room mic is great for figuring out this will sound in a small pub with a crappy PA. It's easy to make any drum sound good with a full complement of mics and a powerful PA, but filling a room acoustically is where the real challenge is.
If BIG sound is what you are looking for, that Ludwig kit had the biggest sound to my ears. PDP surprised me, not a kit I would look at, but it sounded as good as any.
Great to see the big sets back. For my main kit I have a 1972 Ludwig 26, 14, 16.18 and 1980 Hammered Bronze 14×6.5, still have yet to hear a better kit.
@Michael DeLoach can you get a bigger kick with the catalina club maple? I have a 22x18 im looking for 24x14 or 26x14 bass drum
Those PDP's are ridiculously good for the price.
Yup, incredible for the money!
Would be great for a studio specializing in hard rock type
@@drumcenternh do they make a 20x14 kick in that series? I’ve got an 18 (which is killer) but could use a 20 for bigger rooms
I just picked up the old pdp cx maple drums!!!!!!! They don't make thes anymore I now know why their souht after drums!!!!!! Two 24" bassdrums 14 Tom and two floors!!!!! It's a blast to play with a Gregg Kiplinger 14x7 stainless steel snare
pdp in ths video is the cheapest than other?
I'm a huge Gretsch fan but currently have a George Way. That was my preference in this comparison. The bass drum was incredible.
Finally! Some drums that sound like drums should.
I concur sir. Trends come and go. It is my humble opinion that drums should sound big, open, lively.
@csrgatorfan Good morning. I love big drums, and big sounding drums!! At the moment I have a bebop set. Yamaha stage custom birch in natural finish high gloss. 10, 12 toms and a 14 floor tom. 20" kick drum. I bought them brand new and put remo coated ambassador on the tom tops, and stock heads on bottom. They resonate beautifully. I do want another set with bigger sizes some day. For now my Yamaha's get the job done.
Haha alright boomer
Yeah, those little toms that I tuned up the other week at the local music store sounded like a set of bongos. But, that is where they wanted to be.
The CC bass drum was killer. Ludwig toms. Dunnett snare. But all around for me gretsch was the most balanced. Holy hell on the pdp too... can't believe those. They're stepping their game up.
The Ludwig kit was my favourite.
From an owner of Ludwig since 63, I was really impressed and amazed with the PDP. Really great, fat, old school sound. I envisioned Mitch Mitchell playing them.. Nice.
My heart says Ludwig but that Pdp really stood out 🤘🏻
I was surprised by the PDP, but that Ludwig bass drum sound was BIG. These kits are all great though.
I am an old school cat ( 53 years straight) and to me this is the sounds l dig.POWERFUL !!!!...THE LUDWIGS # 1 , and George Wayra # 2. I LOVE AMERICAN MADE DRUMS. CONGRATS.
The “original” “big” would be 60 years earlier than Bonzo’s 26” bass drum
Gene Krupa was one of many drummers using 26” bass drums in the late thirties some opting for 28”
He also famously used his giant 20x20 “jungle” tom next to his standard 16x16 floor tom
The George Way drums are nice looking
Right I love Zeppelin’s 1999 debut album
Damn these kits ALL sound KILLER. I love these kinds of drum sounds. Thanks for making this.
FWIW my favorites were the Ludwig and the C&C.
The fact that on the room mics the bonham kick nearly downs out the snare is insane. Big is beautiful!!
That PDP competing with the big boys 🔥
I want the Ludwig, in that color, with red plastic rims and bright yellow sticks just like the toy drum kits looked back in the 1940s. I'm not kidding.
In this case BIGGER is better! Deeper sounding thumping drums 🥁! John Bonham, Bill Ward, Alex Van Halen, Tommy Lee what else is there to say. Old-school!!! 🤘🏻
Don’t forget Dave!
@@missgradenkoMC Lombardo?
IAN PAICE
You should have heard Gene, Louie or Buddy!
@@totigerus Grohl
Those C&C player dates sound almost identical to my vintage Ludwig club dates, that's amazing
PDP is shocking me here in illinois! Wow the sound i like with a price still on this planet.
I’m from Illinois too, naperville originally and now Dixon. But I have one of the pdp 805 birch kit. 13x7 rack 16x14 and 18x16 floor 24x17 kick. That thing is LOUD. It’s a big drum kit and have been super surprised by these big kits. I don’t think they make the 805 anymore :(
The PDP kit was my favorite hands down
The Ludwig bass drum was incredible! I am a smaller drum guy but I’m considering whether a 24” makes sense now. Maybe not the 26” but dangggggggg it crushes.
26 is worth it for the extra sub frequencies that push hard from it
All sounded great! I can't believe that PDP! Even just the room mics sounded fantastic
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love it when you two Characters are narrating. Even looks like a fun place to work. Although every single dime I made would probably go right back in there.
Wow that pdp kit was impressive. I play a 24” kick and love it. Huzzay for big drums!
Most people will think I'm crazy but I like a 24 inch bass with a hole in the reso, muffling and low tuning. So much beef and punch! And I like mid tuned Tom's with a lot of attack and not too much sustain.
I dont have a certain brand or make in mind because I'm indecisive but I'd love to have a kit with 24 bass either 13 16 18 or 14 16 18 toms and a 10 or 12 tama metalworks snare. Big loud but controlled drums with a high poppy snare.
Well I think we are all winners in this comparison. If I had to choose one though, it would be the George Way kit. I'm glad we live in a world where the big companies aren't the only choice, even though they sounded good too.
Totally agree!
The kick on that PDP.... damn!
Lets hear it for the big 4 of British Heavy Rock drumming. John Bonham , Cozy Powell. Jerry Shirley and Simon Kirke. This inspired this Big Drum aesthetic today!!
The dude with the backwards hat plays really well.
Barrett is an animal
No way, flannel shirt smoked him
Ludwig sounds best to me, but PDP is the best value for money.
My first choice would be the C&C, but the PDP sounds so great! I'm not sure about the wood hoops. I lean towards traditional metal hoops.
Greetings all from The Great Southern Land of Australia. This is by far the best big drum comparison video I've ever seen. I've watched this video many times and each kit is in the zone but for my ears, the PDP wins it hands down considering it's a fraction of the price of the others. I've owned and played well over 30 kits and consider myself a drum snob but this PDP has really changed my perception of what affordable drums can do and I'm now looking at buying one. You guys in The States are blessed with great drum stores and the Drum Center of Portsmouth is one of the best. Best wishes to you all.
Great video Thank you I am a huge fan of BIG open drums.
Had so much fun watching/ listening it...I had to watch it twice! ;-)
Thanks for your great informativ & entertaining & sounding videos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done, guys. PDP did respectfully well, and there wasn't a dinger in the group, but I lean towards the Ludwig.
PDP slayed it
Man alive. Would kill to hear a Sonor kit like this - maybe a 13/16/18/24 Vintage Series? Or any SQ2 kit that turns up where someone's ordered a 26" bass drum - doesn't even matter what wood or how thick.
I'm back again just to say how much I appreciate your audio person panning the audio to match the shot
;-)
@@drumcenternh I'll be back in a few months to check again......I hope this becomes industry standard eventually.....it's brilliant
The sleeper is the PDP but for me the Gretsch just KILLED! That kick drum. Dayum!
Looks like my new purchase in the background of them talking. The British Drum Company Portsmouth DCP 10th Anniversary Snare Drum sounds re-freakin-diculous. Thanks fellas!
Couldn't believe how much kick you're getting in those room mics! Bloody cannons!!
PDP kit and snare sounded the best of the lot to me!
I bought a P.D.P bass drum off you fella's at D.C.P. it sounds awesome .
The kid playing the C&C was having fun and killing it! Nice shuffle, bro!
Once again the Drum Center of Portsmouth produces the best drum comparison videos on the internet- I love the big mix, but the room mics tell the truth. I'm no drum snob- I gig with Crush and Ddrums, but own Gretsch Brooklyns from the Drum Center of Portsmouth and the tone, the response and feel is so incredible I sold my 1980's Gretsch power tom kit with a 24 inch kick and 18 inch floor. But, I still love big drums and when the time, money and space are there I'm picking up a modern big kit from DCP! Ludwig, PDP can you hear my siren's call?
Thanks so much Charles!
Was waiting for you guys to do this vid!.. All the kits sound awesome. I too was very impressed with the PDP kit. Great video as always guys! All of a sudden I feel like buying drums... AGAIN!
My brother has that exact Gretsch kit, snare and all, and they’re superb! I’ve been looking at the pdp for a long time though, I would like to get the 26” kit
That PDP is killer!
Oh my, the sound of that Geo. H Way bass drum!
Have to agree, the Gretsch kit caught my ear the most. The finish is pretty sick as well. Thanks guys and Happy Thanksgiving!
Great choice!
Geo Way, Ludwig, CC, PDP, Gretsch - in that order for me. The first three nearly a tie. The kick drum in the Way kit placed it first. That kit sounds amazing!
Big Ludwig fan and loved the color of the Bonham set up. Killer sound.
The PDP and the George Way sets both sounded the best.
Between the Ludwig and the Gretsch kits for me. Great video, guys.
Oh man! When it switched to the soloed room mics, I wanted to hear more of those in the full mix. What a gorgeous sounding room!
I really enjoyed the sound of the PDP kit, and I liked the look of the George Way kit. Of course I have a bias as I play a PDP Double Drive kit and have loved the sound of it.
I have the Gretsch Brooklyn, Ludwig CM and (from DCP) the George Way Mahogany, all fantastic sets that give me inspiration to try different approaches and even simplify my playing so that each note from each drum stands on its own value.
Thanks for that thoroughly enjoyable video.
Love the sound on all of the drum demonstrations.
They all look good too.
For me Gretsch Brooklyn kit and Ludwig raw brass snare combo looks and sounds beautiful ....great video !!!!
very good point ...you really dont hear big drums sounds anymore....small drums have been the norm for quite a few years ....its refreshing to hear "BIG" drums ...thanks!!!
And the big drums probably drive sound engineers crazy!
Thank you! Love that BIG sound. I believe that Ludwig bass drum ate one of my cats. Anybody know what the batter head is on that Ludwig? You have convinced me to go back to a full front head, too. They all sound great in their own way. I would bet you had some fun making that video...
They were all pretty incredible, but as someone that has a smaller George Way kit, well there's just something special going on with those. I love that million dollar baby blue.
I have that kit with Tuxedo lugs for a more retro look, and it’s FAB!🇬🇧
@@MrMrh1958 yea my Acacias are with Tuxedo lugs and I think I’m still partial to the Tuxedo over the Aristocrat. But both are stunning.
The kick on that PDP was just.... WOW!!! Not a fan of the wood hoops, but the sound of that kit was just amazing. The Ludwig was very nice as well!!! Great BIG sound out of that kit!!!
Couldn't agree more!
Nice Gojira shirt. 🤘
🤘🤘
That C&C kick is lights out
That Gretch kit!! Purdy and sweet sounding. (That PDP did surprise though...wow)
Thanks Adam and Tony! I love this - much appreciated for the kind words and feedback.
Our pleasure!
That CC bass drum.....good God man!!
For me;
1st Ludwig
2nd Gretsch
3rd PDP
4th C&C
5th George Way
Gretsch in my humble opinion was #1 however I’ve been a Ludwig Super Classic player for 20+ years.
Saw that exact pdp kit for 550 at my local guitar center last week, didn’t know it sounded that great😱
PDP also have the 26 BD for those who like it bigger. 26-13-16
I just ordered it! I opted for 24-13-16 with 12 & 18 add-ons
Will probably get the matching snare soon. I’ve chose the Ox Blood Satin finish
I've been wanting to hear what those PDP kits sound like and I am impressed. I don't think they offer add on drums for those though and I would want to add an 18 floor tom. I've always been a fan of playing one up two down.
I mean they might be able to. You would just have to go through DW and its gonna be pretty expensive
You can order the PDP 16 x 18, they've been available since PDP introduced the wood-hoop kits.
Great video. Every kit featured here is absolutely killer. So hard to choose. The C&C is gorgeous, but so are those Luddies. But at the price, the PDP gets my vote. And I LOVE that PDP snare.
The LUDWIG sounded really SOLID, deep and powerful to me, my fave.
I am a Ludwig guy... but wow the George Way sounded killer. That 24 had such a great punch to it
it sounded almost like a bonham kick imo
I thought every set was killer! I’ve been a Ludwig guy for 48 years. When I first saw the pdp’s in that color with maple hoops I had to have them. I own that kit and I love it. It didn’t break the bank and looked great. First night I played out with it, I actually had people from the audience come up and ask me about it and tell it was the “most beautiful drum set they had ever seen”. I was shocked at the reaction! All the years I’m playing my 72’ Ludwig’s in silver sparkle and 68’s in WMP, nobody had ever mentioned them. Do the pdp’s sound as good as my Ludwig’s? Not really, do they sound good? Yes, different but very good and they’re just a fun set to play. I’ve since added the 26” bass drum and a 14” floor Tom as well. At such a great price point it’s very affordable to add the extras. I love big drums! Great video guys, keep up the good work.
First time I like the room mics more than full mix !
Awesome video. I learned on an old school Ludwig kit. Love my 1976 Tama Superstar kit. Big open sounds is where it’s at.
Pdp is a great looking kit! Love the wood hoops
I also used Remo Coated Ambassador heads on the top and bottom on every drum , " ALWAYS " I don't care if they say Bonham used Coated Emperors on the top
and clear ambassadors on the bottom. I use the same skins on every drum for the last 50 years.. I can tell, that Remo has done something to cheapen their skin production because I just rebuilt a 1972 Slingerland 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple drum set with all new hardware and new 1.6mm rims from the 50', 60', and 70's
and I'm using a 1976 Buddy Rich 6 ply Slingerland 5 1/2x 14 TDR snare and the set sounds fantastic, but I bought all new Remo Coated ambassador heads and I tuned them the same way and can tell there is a difference since my last set of new skins on my 1972 Buddy Rich Rogers kit.
They all sounded really great, and I play big drums.. The PDP was very impressive. I too am thinking of buying one.. Have you heard or played the 26? Cool video as always.
I have a 1995 Japanese Tama Rockstar and I only have 2 small squares of foam in my bass drum that absorb some of the ring but they are pretty much wide open, I like the raw open punch sound. I also only play unmic'd in my garage so I need as much volume as possible to compete with my Marshall half stacks and full bass stack.
Also if you can find one, The Tama Starclassic B/B yesteryear kit is amazing. 26/14/16/18
They all sound great to me
Agreed!
my dream kit would be a Ludwig Classic Maple in either Green Sparkle, or Burgundy WIne, with custom large configuration: 26x16 Kick, 15x12 Rack, 16x16 and 16x18 Floors, with a switched out choice of Ludwig Black Beauty, or Ludwig Maple Coliseum Snares both in 14x8
Sonar all the way! Tone, pop, low end, good for any kind of music. There’s just no comparison. You guy’s did a very good job.Thank you, John.
My favorite kit of all time was made for Carmine Appice It included a 15x26 bass drum a 13 and 16. They were made by ddrum in the classic style like the vintage Ludwig or Slingerland with the renforcement hoops. All I can say is playing that bass drum was a religous experience with a bibical sound!
I just picked up a Sakae Trilogy 10, 13, 18, 24 in sky blue pearl. Probably was sold by DCH originally! Going to be setting it up for the first time tonight. Would LOVE to find a matching 16" FT some day.
Nice job guys thankyou
Thanks Bob!
This is crazy, I don’t just how much cheaper the PDP’s are but they sounded amazing ….seriously amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You all did a great job with this video. Bravo
Thank you so much!
Of course Barrett is playing the Gretsch cuz he played that awesome purple sparkly Gretsch Brooklyn in that video, maybe the coolest looking drums i've ever seen
The timestamps for every kit are mislabeled, just to let you guys know. Ludwig kit labelled as Gretsch, Gretsch labelled as George Way etc.
My main kit is a Pearl EXR series custom component kit I ordered (from another company/shop) in 2006...It Has 11 x 13,14 x 15 rack toms offset mounted on dbl tom stand,16 x 16 & 16 x 18 floor toms w/legs, and an 18 x 22 kick...The unique size configuration is awesome with BIG DEEP diameter toms & kick that I LOVE...And you NEVER see that configuration ANYWHERE.....It is in a Strata(oyster) black finish.....It looks & sounds 3x the price...Too bad Pearl discontinued the EXR series not long after I got them....GREAT drums
Ludwig all the way for me!
Can't argue with the classic!
@@drumcenternh that said, the PDP was a very pleasant surprise. Imagine that with Remo heads!
Y’all have to stop playing my Ludwig kit. You’ve already taken it outside to take pics and played it, makes me all emotional lol
Sooooo pretty though!
I was really keen to hear how the gretsch Brooklyn sounded but was a bit disappointed as the snare drum and cymbals seemed to be the focus not the toms 🤷♂️
That Would would be not because it was done on purpose. The Gretsch Brooklyn is very loud.
The PDP should have been the 26" bass drum one!! I own that set with the 26" and it kicks ass!
Man! I miss my big kits, NH trips, my DCP and seafood.
We miss you!
I was digging all of them but I'd have to go with the Ludwig. That color was amazing as well. What I would have liked to have seen/ heard would have been the Sonor SQ1 in 24, 13, 16, 18 and maybe a Pro-Lite in that same configuration.
