Drum Test 6

After days of adjusting the tuning of the drums and mixing, I’m proudly going to show you what I’ve got this year. Since the last drum cover, you noticed that all the tom-toms are fitted with Remo-coated emperors (vintage). I want to achieve such a warm, vintage-like tone because I’m old school. So I have happened to rework everything to improve my sound. The result of it makes it a lot better than what came before this video.
In this video, I normally test them out like every other test. This time, all three snares are involved with different sounds for specific styles or situations that could work. Also, one more upgrade that I added is the bass drum. Since March of 2023, I fitted the 22” DWs stock bass drum head, which I know, is silly. But as of last night, I switched that head to a Remo Power Stroke 3 (clear). I’m really happy with how it turned out and I’ll keep that sound adjustment permanently.
From now on, I’ll be showing you guys the list of all drums and cymbals that I’ll be using. Keep in mind about these things: I’m not an endorser. I just choose whatever it is for my liking; there might be some slight changes; such as changing a cymbal, another tom added, or switching a single pedal to doubles. Also, I don’t really care about the hardware stand since they’re all random. Some, I use from another brand, and the others are unbranded. With that said, here is what I am currently using:
