This is the best kit on the face of the planet
This is one of the few kits that when the guy does each tom individually, even the final hardest hit doesn't choke out and kill the tone. Very impressive.
Walnut makes such a great drum shell! These are fantastic
Every drum kit they test on this site sounds great with all the processing they do to it. I wish more reviewers would use room mics so we can hear what they really sound like.
Noble & Cooley's "Vintage" description is not in reference to 1950's Ludwig or Gretsch drums. Rather go back decades prior to find American drum manufacturers often making horizontal grain walnut and maple drums. That is the "vintage" sound that N&C is referring to.
WOW 😯 the sound is out of this world. The bass drum is the nicest I’ve heard. This is my ideal drum sound wow very impressive
I am blessed enough to be an N&C Owner (of the CD Maples) and nearby to the N&C Factory. Recently went there and played one of these kits, and the KICK was the standout to me as well - sounded pretty much Exactly as you hear here - one of the most "character" filled kicks I've ever heard - so good!
My gosh that’s one of the most beautiful kits I’ve ever seen.
I love that bass drum sound A little sustain Not all compressed like rock/metal and pop music I feel like everyone is on the ported front head train Idk that whole kit sounds absolutely amazing
absolutely astonishing tone. gorgeous to look at and to hear. definitely increases the chance i will try and save up for a kit of theirs.
Vintage or not? I don't know. But the one thing you can't deny is that they are awesome sounding drums!
Noble and Cooley continue to make amazing top quality drums! Great review!... gorgeous drums!🥁❤️👌🏻
Utterly superb sounding drums, some of the best I've heard on this channel. And please, occasionally big up the drummer, he's got some great chops!
These drums are money and worth every dollar. Great review but hearing them love was the closer. Order up!
I think I found my next drumset.
Walnut is great. Since it is a darker soundjng wood, it lends itself well well to Laying Into it and not being too harsh sounding.
Those drums look stunning - like high quality furniture
Oh, I love walnut drums. Hard to get that fat warmth with other woods - only Bubinga can hold up maybe. Great for big pop and rock ballads. Using clear batter heads and tune them up a bit more and you‘ll get best of both worlds- big drums tuned high, the Bonham effect. 😎😍 What a stunning sounding kit.
I've wanted a Noble & Cooley for 30 years. I still haven't been able to get one. I'll go on dreaming...
@@BryanDoesCinema One of these days, my friend. One of these we'll both have one. Wooden hoops and all. Until that day comes, we can keep dreaming!
Great sounding kit. Love that snare. Wow!
Nolly was the last person I expected to see in this video I randomly decided to look up 😂 had no idea he had this going on
Wow, beautiful!!!
I want it, but with their copper snare!
👍
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. I agree with the "vintage" sentiment; they sound too nice for that label.
I'd love to hear that snare tuned LOW, like gooshy low.
Cheers.
That bass drum sounds amazing!!!!!
The sound is incredible, as well as the look. Now I'd want to hear this kit in a more rock / metal context, with clear double ply on the toms and a beefier head and some muffle on the bass drum. I'm sure it would sound insane.
That's what I want to hear too. I imagine most amazing drum tone ever
I love how deep the bass drum sounds!
Great review. I just purchased a new Noble&Cooley maple steambent snare which oozes quality. Sure, the proprietary strainer is clunky, but functional.
The Kit looks Fantastic 😍😊 ,
But the Price is Also Fantastic 😍😊 !
Sweet tones all around, I dig N&C thanks to this review 👌🥁
Thunderous indeed.
I guess it's the best kit I ever heard.
Wonderful sounding drums!!!!
Well now I’m dying to hear those “ultra beefy tones” Nolly’s talking about..
"Beefy tones is correct,---Nully would give no time from Big Ben to review any mutton....Lol.... I may be an American, but Nully is the coolest."
with my audeze lcd2 classic, these drums sound very beefy.
The ‘50 ways to leave ur lover’ beat would sound excellent on that kit
Again best review and sound ever
Rock toms sound lush. right up my Strasse.
Brilliant review per usual. These drums are exceptional.
Holy Christ!! Amazing!!!
A couple of questions have u demoed the kit with die cast hoops,if so how did they sound and my second question is all walnut demos (N&C) are with coated heads do you ever or have u played them with clear heads like Evans EC2's or Remo Emperors?? Thanks
Hello??
That walnut is stunning! Kick, rack toms and snare are the bees knees! Not so much on the floor toms though. Like he said, maybe a head change would do the trick.
wow. Best Walnut I've heard!
What are these mics you use on the toms? ... looks like beyerdynamic in a way but which model? ... You could do a video about your miking and recording set up... Cheers... Love the channel great reviews with honest and accurated views!
Those are Josephson e22S condenser mics. Glorious-sounding mics that have seen a couple of Periphery records. They're also VERY expensive ($1,430 USD per)
That bass drum sounds is out of this world. Can you please tell us the how you tuned this bass drum? Thanks.
It sounds good in any tuning, even out of tune
Este set es realmente Fabuloso !!
That kick is Boomy Boomsworth. Sorry to get so technical, but it is.
Love N&C, and love these drums. Mind you, even if the drums are designed to last a lifetime, personally I'd avoid the black chrome, which is likely to chip and wear too quickly.
I would bet these never chip.
Would absolutely love to see a Tama Star Walnut Shell pack compared to N&C walnut's!
They have already,and also a George Way walnut kit! N&C was the best!!!
Linda, sensacional 😍😍🥁
Wow
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Is it single piece of wood or plywood?
Betula Obscura Ply shells.
@@Assimilator702 Thanks!
When Noble & Cooley say Vintage they mean vintage circa 1992. They look like drums they were making back then.
Sounds like Ian Paice straight away 👍🏼
these sound NOICE!
No doubt these are great drums that sound fantastic. If budget is not an issue then these would be a front runner for sure. That said, I feel they are way overpriced as you can get equally great sounding drums for a lot less money. If it’s prestige you, seek than these are the ones.
Please, review some A&F Drums!
"So what if it costs as much as a used Vauxhall Corsa! Finance it!"
such a great drum set. But I can't understand why they still build these sizes. There are so many examples that a 14x14 and a 16x16 doesn't work so good in tonal development as a shorter depth. Also the same depths of the two rack toms might look any aesthetic, but physically the shouldn't have the same depth........
I completely agree with this sentiment, I’m absolutely baffled that manufacturers haven’t started regularly producing 14x10 and 16x12 floor toms. The tone would substantially increase and so would the punch. I guess we’ll just have to wait 40 more years :/
you are not alone. the toms look aloof to me on this kit. I also believe shallow depth makes for a drum with more tuning options. IMHO a drum should be at least 2" smaller than its circumference. I have a 14" x 12" floor tom that can be felt in the chest.
N&C Builds to order - so.... this is as they were ordered. Any kit is fully custom from the word go - you want 14 X 12, you got 14 X 12 - nothing is stock at N&C - all custom
sounds alot like my Premier Birch
£5,000? A bit wanky, eh? To be honest, it sounds like my kit that I pieced together from random used drums (many times cheaper than this kit). I'd be a buyer in the £500 range, NOT BLOODY £5,000.
doesnt sound as good as most of the budget drums on this channel tbh
Sounds superb and no doubt has incredible build quality and possible resale value, but there is no way that any brand can justify the best part of 5 and a half grand for a 6 piece kit and snare. That's astronomical.
That price is no higher (and maybe less) than comparable Sonor and DW kits. I've been to the Noble and Cooley factory and when you see how the drums are made it's understandable why the prices are at this level. These are handcrafted instruments.
@@dancalabrese3523 Exactly
@@dancalabrese3523 I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. While I completely acknowledge that these are superb and handcrafted instruments they are not unique. There are numerous offerings from the likes of the Tama star line drums which are handcrafted in Japan and have comparable sound characteristics and sell for around £3000, then you have the likes of Gretsch and Ludwig who's US made kits are handcrafted and have sublime sound, and arguably better history and lineage as they too have a similar establishment age to N&C yet have had a great deal of iconic players who have endorsed and used them for their whole careers, N&C don't really have that accolade, and they sell for around the £3000 mark also. You also mentioned Sonor who's prolite kits are easily in the same league as N&C and can be had for less, so I don't believe that N&C have enough of a reputation above these other iconic brands, or the ability to claim better build quality than these brands to demand such a premium. To each their own of course and price is relative but it does seem like snobbishness more than reason that's dictating the price.
@@razgriz380 Your certainly entitled to your opinion as I am mine. There is no right or wrong. All the brands you mentioned (and I've owned all of them over the years except Tama) are great in their own right. But Noble and Cooley and over the years established their own niche and have been responsible for some great innovations that other companies ( Yamaha and Sonor among them) have copied. And Ludwig went to Noble and Cooley to build a solid shell snare drum for them for The Drum Center of Portsmouth's ten year anniversary. I think that says a lot. So sorry, but they are unique in their own right. Certainly no one is forcing you to buy their drums. I'm 61 and have been playing for nearly 50 years. I am purchasing one more kit in my life. Having looked at all my options I'm choosing to make that kit a Noble and Cooley. Take care.
@@dancalabrese3523 I agree with you, there is no obligation to buy their product and I'm not suggesting that people will feel that the prices aren't justified if they have deep pockets but for me what you are using to define 'unique' wouldn't be what I would. It's hard to say any brand is unique really as there are only so many ways you can make a solid or ply shell and add hardware to, now admittedly N&C did invent the nodle point that Yamaha adopted and other innovations used under licence by other brands but every single brand borrows from others, N&C are just as guilty. Ludwig may have gone to N&C to make them a shell, I'm not familiar so can't comment, but that could be for many reasons. They don't have the tooling and it's too expensive for a small batch run, they didn't have the craftsmen available, the materials etc etc. I don't think it says all that much about outsourcing to N&C personally, however I'm not doubting their expertise and quality as I have looked over and played a kit of theirs myself. I'm simply stating you can buy another branded kit of the same or near quality with the same kind of heritage and innovation history for significantly less. If N&C float your boat and you have the pockets to pay for them then great but I personally cannot see the price justification just because of the name printed on the head. Thanks for the debate.
