- Today I review the Eastar complete drum set you can get on Amazon for $250 for the full kit! Get one at amzn.to/2Yi1CZB. It comes with a 22" kick, 10", 12", and 16" toms, 14" snare, and hi hats, crash/ride cymbals, stands, bass drum pedal, throne, and even sticks! This is a great deal for a beginner or student drum set that is well made and very inexpensive! I was especially impressed with the included hardware! #eastardrums #review #completedrumset Stream Demonic Sweaters on Apple Music / demonic-sweaters

Trust me these inexpensive drum kits can sound great and last for years if you dont throw them around. Good heads.Good cymbals.And good tuning.Thats all you need. (of course those things will end up costing more than the set!)
Now you can convert that to a great looking e-kit!! I think if you change heads buy decent cymbals then mic it up it would sound good!!😀👍
Nice video. Thanks! This set is on sale during Amazon’s Prime days (today and tomorrow) for only $210.
that's insane, I have no idea how they're making money on those things
So 2 pandemic years later the Amazon link set is now $390 shipped! But there is a sweet looking 6 pc. Tama Rockstar set w/all hardware (- cymbals) still available over 1 mo. on CL for $300.
That's crazy, I guess the supply chain thing.
I have the same exact silver model. It’s actually great value for money. Once you put a pillow in the bass drum, gel pads on the snare and toms, they sound reasonable. The hihats and cymbals can’t be helped but I added a tambourine over the hats and it sounded better. The only thing a beginner needs to upgrade later on is a good crash.
Lol that scream at 7:01 made me check if it was in my house
I broke down years back and got a tama swingstar 600$ added a ROC floor tom and found a ludwig marchin snare. And added 2 cymbals. Its tuned. Old heads tho.
Ups had to take the first kit back for bangin all the barein edges across the back sharp edge of the truck. He even banged it when I sent it back and I told him then thats why its being sent back. At one time there were two sets here federal express brought a new one before I could send the damaged set back. This kit you got is happening tho heck my brother had a drumcraft once it lasted about 6 months of everyday practice the first to go was the pedal. But nowadays the machining is higher tech.
Coooll they work good yea dont beat em hard it dont get louder
Great video!! You're really good!!👍Will be purchasing this drum set for my 14 year old son for Christmas. He recently started playing the drums at school and enjoys it a lot.
Vashti Singh that’s great! I hope he enjoys the set. Merry Christmas!
Vashti Singh honestly, an imperial star would’ve been better. This set is just ok for $250 (which is basically nothing in the drumming prices) to be quite honest, you get what you pay for. A 9 piece with hardware TAMA kit is about $779 is a great investment and will last you much longer. I understand your decisions but if someone is really looking for a quality drum set that will last them because they really want to be a drummer, they should get something better. If someone buys this because of their budget, I completely understand.
@@aname8731 that $500 difference is a pretty big deal to many people. People with kids or people who just want a drum set for people to jam on when they come over dont want to pay a month's worth of rent
@@aname8731 Even a Pearl Export drumset is better. That is best selling drumkit in history.
is it still in good shape after a whole year ?
would you still recommend it
it was good until March at least, that's when my school closed down. Still haven't been back :(
@@demonicsweaters Hey dude I'm looking to build a list of budget sets for new students and came across your videos. Thanks for all the work you've done man. I was wondering if there is a chance you could update us on the condition of this drum? Or maybe other budget ones youve done like a year or 2 later how are they holding up. Personally I'm looking for sub $400 drums that can last a good 2-5 years and sound decent so students can have enough time to develop their craft on a decently cheap drum. I understand we're all busy though so if you dont have time to update us no problem dude, thank you for all the videos you have done and still put out, as this kind of work really helps the industry and new drummers come in.
This is exactly my playing style.Sort of a Hal Blain clean open style. Good job!
Thank you! I love Hal, one of my favorites!
Great video! Glad I came across after winning a set in an online auction for 150 bucks! Thanks for this video!👍🏼👍🏼
Glad I could help!
Man I really wanted this drum kit but it's unavailable 😭😭😭
Shows in stock when I click the link. What country are you in?
@@demonicsweaters I'm in Memphis TN USA.
It should work, try the link it the description
@@demonicsweaters now it's available thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Oof
Could I play like territorial pissings by nirvana on this drum set?
you can play whatever you want on it
Buy a cheap kit and change all the drumheads and new cymbal. Easy. Remo or Evans for drumhead and Zildjian/Sabian/Paiste for cymbal. Easy. 🤘
Thx
Hey brother love your videos ,watch them every day one ,question how many Drum sets do you have?
thank you! At the moment 2. Tama Club-JAM mini, and Club-JAM flyer (converted to electronic). The one in this video I donated to the school where I teach.
@@demonicsweaters That’s fantastic thank you so much💖
Awesome vid. Exactly what I was looking for.
Would you say this set is good for like punk style music or like Midwest emo music? I’m looking for a kit and I’m low on a budget and I’m thinking of buying this kit hope to hear back 🙏
You're better off doing something like I show in this video ruclips.net/video/w7fpyfWuc1A/видео.html. If you're under 18, make sure you're accompanied by a parent when meeting anyone for used gear.
it has that authentic Gretsch feeling with that 5 lug 10" xD
Why you don't choose the ten lug on bassdrum and snare edition series??Also nice kit to transform it to e-drums!!
Defenitly getting this set !
how has it held up?
Hey I have a question do you think this would be a good starter drum set for beginners ? Also is there any other brand options besides this set ? That are 200-350 price range ? And Will I be able to play any song like pop punk songs and go along ?
There’s a brand named donner and they also have a drum sets at that price range
Saw your video ordered the drum set off Amazon with prime said it will be 2 days after being shipped it's said shipping now for over 24hrs with no updates... Anyone else dealing with this problem?
Lol, dude, be patient.
@@808Deathmetal it was hard man! Not only new kit it was my first kit that I never got as a kid! Patience is not my strong point hahahaha
Not to bad,, hardware and finish out reminds me of pearl cheap range! Poplar shells I,m guessing.
why does ever cheap hi hat sound like a splash
Because they are thin like paper
RetroAllOver because it’s like playing in folded tin foil
It is
I bet they would sound ok muffled with moon gel and a pillow in the bass drum. I have TKO kit which I would prefer Yamaha or Tama, but can't afford those on a budget
I had a TKO I played for years, haha. Was a surprisingly great sounding kit!
@@demonicsweaters yeah, been using a Glarry snare drum which, interesting putting the lug screws in, they press inward with a spring and I noticed when putting a Evan's drum head on. They sound good enough for a gig and maybe studio recording, but if tuned right. I always have trouble with pitch so, eq covers up the hideous lol, a little lol.
Hey man. I got this Yamaha DT-Xplorer trigger kit recently that I saw for about $250 at a local pawnshop, though it's on layaway and I won't have them until mid-October. Do you have any experience with them? I can't wait to get to play them.
I do actually, I had one a couple years ago and they awesome kits. They're a bit older, but don't let that fool you. It's a pretty powerful module and Yamaha always makes top quality products. You're gonna love it.
@@demonicsweaters Thanks man, looking forward to it. I tried them out in the pawn shop and although the samples were a bit dated I loved the feel of it.
@@elansleazebaganno Personally I kinda like dated sounding samples. Be sure to learn how to program your own kits, you'll get the most out of it that way.
@@demonicsweaters You got any videos specifically you could link me that'd give me some pointers as to how to do that?
@@elansleazebaganno no videos, but page 20 of the manual usa.yamaha.com/files/download/other_assets/0/313670/dtxpl_en_om_02b0.pdf
Ever try out the Glarry brand drums, I bought a couple of their snares and they are actually worth the money. They are made in China but not bad
They have drums?? I’ve had a few of the guitars. Really cheap stuff haha
@@demonicsweaters yeah, they are pretty cheap. good to have a cheap guitar though for stuff like going to a camp fire with a acoustic, If you had a 300 dollar or 500 guitar get damaged, G;arry would be a better idea to save the good stuff. I live in a bad neigborhood, so going to a jam session, I worry some one would try to rob Me, if lucky lol, I'm easy to rob with many styles of martial arts under My belt. But I'm not bullit proof lol.
When buying a new drum set, is it a good idea to buy extended warranty?
I don't think so
@@demonicsweaters I seem some set on Amazon suggest adding warranty
Remo heads would make it sound better me personally id add a Supraphonic Ludwig snare
that one cardboard flap that keeps getting in the way is making me want to scream lmfaaooooo
I’m looking for a cheap kit but unfortunately my mum can’t buy me one
Kelvin Janse van Vuuren Same
Did you find one, Kelvin?
Yeap good for a kid or adult learning .
kind of a stupid question but i noticed it doesn’t come with a crash symbol. without that will i still be able to play most songs people play with the crash symbol?
Yes, it’s possible to use one cymbal as a crash/ride”
@@demonicsweaters thanks!
Kinda reminds me of a Ludwig Standard kit without the granite coating on the inside.
how was it held up
Still there, still teaching on it. No issues.
Also , can you teach how to mic these cheap drums?
I have done a lot of drum miking videos. Here's a playlist of all my acoustic drum recording videos ruclips.net/p/PLs9zAgLmBvnmMGlA7InMFcMUG2YoxDgOx
Is this used?
Does it come with a drum key
yes, and sticks
@@demonicsweaters thank you!!
I have the mendini, the sliver glitter one and yeah that kit is not that good for the long run when you’re serious about drums, for teaching and for beginners maybe
Put them clear evans heads and tune them up
Bro Im sure you get this occasionally but I thought James Maynard Keenan was reviewing a drum kit for a sec :D
nah, he looks like me
they are $398.00 now
I havn't played the drums before and I want to learn.
I have a whole bunch of drum lessons on my channel, and I offer online 1 on 1 lessons if you're interested. demonicsweaters.com/skype-drum-lessons/
@@demonicsweaters thank you but I havnt got a drum yet I dont know whitch one to get and Im saving money
@@demonicsweaters I do have a question but it might sound stupid. Can you play every song on any drum? What I mean is if I get the drum your using can I do every song that I want to try?
@@thomasellis9608 well, yes, and no. Keep in mind that 90% of pop music these days is using programmed drums, not real drums. But you can still play them in one way or another.
@@thomasellis9608 also, there's no dumb questions :)
So after 1 yr, this set cost is 389$😄
Oh haha
the drum kit is now $392 so if your looking for a cheaper kit you will have to look somewhere else
for 250 i dont think so still out of my budget it like 200 more THEN WHAT U SAID
This was made pre-pandemic. Prices all have gone up since then. Plus Donner/Eastar have established themselves a bit better as a brand now.
Do you think it sounds like a real drum kit
I mean it’s a real drum kit. So I’m not sure what you mean.
tryna be salty ?
No I really don’t know what you are asking? What do you mean by real?
I guess he means like a better brand set?
@@demonicsweaters People asking weird questions
I have a drumset like that but I gotta wait for my uncle to help me put it together
looks good ! you could of a pillow in he bass drum before you put the skin on !!
what does that do, i dont know alot about drums
Well I would suggest buying a used kit and slap on new double ply heads. Used cymbals are hit and miss but older ones actually sound better than new ones.
Better than tama. Except for the packaging.
Uh… no.. Not even close to Tama’s quality.
Videos Auto tune up eastar drum set
I have read many innacurate claims for this kit. The shells are NOT birch; they are poplar. The bass drum rings look to be birch. If you are interested in fixing cracks in the shells, using JB Weld to attach metal that broke off the stands, a throne that you will literally fall off of and aren't interested in support, returns or honesty from Eastar, this is the kit for you! Ask me how I know. You will spend several hundred dollars (at least) upgrading the cymbals and drum heads, and hours repairing. Spend that money on a decent kit from a legitimate manufacturer. Eastar is NOT one of them.
I got the half flat bass drum. Donner is mulling it over and not saying a word. I'll give them a day or two to think. I sent pictures and everything.
So far, they have responded and are sending out for a replacement bass drum shell. No tracking number yet.... The other shells are ok. However the floor tom lug housing is caved in. Might rob some from the bass...
@@marshmower I replaced the snare drum, snare drum stand, drum throne, all the cymbals, the high hat, high hat cymbals, cymbal stand that came broken, bass pedal, all drum heads and added 16" floor tom.
Yeasassss
No one handed... really hard to watch that.
Just save up $100 more than u can get a rogue Drum kit it's really good for beginners or just really good drummers trust me you won't be disappointed
They made a better version
link?
@@joshdoesmusic1163 ruclips.net/video/25l0tS9v88w/видео.html
My first drum kit was a chinese 300$ tama drum, and ngl those toms sound horrible 🤮🤮
There should be no reason you can't get a Tama kit (or any other kit to sound great) you just need decent heads and a good tuning.
Yuk
Misson ok hmm
I feel like this video is misleading. The kit is obviously very bad sounding and will last a serious drummer about a month. Glorifying it and saying that it is a good kit is (from my perspective) lying.
It sounds as good as any inexpensive drum set. I've been teaching on this kit every weekend since I made the video having 10 kids bang on it for 45 minutes at a time and had no issues whatsoever. I never suggest it would be for a professional drummer, but I'd have no problems playing it with some new heads. It's solid.
$400*****
Sounds horrible!!!!!
Wrong tom holder position. Are you beginner???
The price sure went up 🥲
yeah it did. Inflation, plus Donner (Eastar) is a far more established brand since I made this video.
