Luvo Mdleleni it’s a yamah kit. They don’t play around. I’ve been comparing and seems like while others companies cheap out on wood and hardware yamaha builds to make them last
Agreed on Yamaha drums in general. I owned Ludwig Classics new and vintage for years until I realized paying for a name/legacy with over inflated pricing. In fact for recording like this or home practice the Yamaha Stage Customs sound better,more controlled without all the sustain and wow.
Thanks so much for this beautiful tribute to the one the only Jeff Porcaro...From Steely Dan to Boz Scaggs to Toto and beyond Jeff made every artist better and every song feel so good!...RIP Jeff 😢 ❤ 🎶 👏
Killer playing and sound. I love how balanced it is. I have been focusing on shuffles with slow results and you make them look so easy. Thanks for posting.
Exellent drumming ! Perfect groove. Love it. I was and still am a great fan of Jeff's play. So I'm of your's. Thanks for that pleasure. Good to remember all that music.
Such a beautiful tribute I just came across you on RUclips I watch tons of drummers you are fantastic and right to the point and I love your versions of the music and that kit sounds absolutely incredible
Dude! What a delight to listen to you! And watch this absolutely stunning video. I was blown away. Precission, timing, sound, feel, pocket, you've got it all. Thank you!!!
I'm late to the party....but, you absolutely crushed this. Very well done (and recorded). Outstanding. As far as that kit goes....it's absolutely incredible to that a kit could sound THAT good at that price.
Jeff is a big inspiration for my playing and Toto remains my favorite band. Nice work, great feels for all the tunes. Nice transition from Georgy Porgy to Africa. Drums sound great as well, I play white Stage Customs as well.
Superb drumming! Jaw dropping material! Whenever they need a drummer, look no further, you're the Man! The feeling is just there. I think not even their current drummer can play these songs much better than this - Better being a very subjective concept. Truly pationate playing. Cheers from Brazil!
I haven't heard you play since Garden City days my friend I've sllways loved to hear you play no one plays like you !!what a talent you have !! I could listen to you for hours and hve played your tribute over snd over allready !!! Music is suppressed to touch you on places that nothing else can and you go just that!!Gods given you such a gift !! Love your work lol
I have a beech custom absolute set from the late 90's and I am still In love with them just as much now as the day I bought them. Great mashup and amazing drum tone!!! Well done.
@@darranmuller They are also higher quality. Both PDP and Sonor models coming from Asia have a high incident of bad shells. (bearing edges badly cut). Yamaha (and I've seen them since they adopted the node mounting late 70's) have NEVER had quality issues. I've also compared these to Pearl vision VBX, which sound lifeless and thin by compare.
Absolutely fantastic performance. Every piece of equipment sounds killer and perfectly compliments each other. There is simply no better entry level drumkit that even comes close to the Stage Custom! Oh, and that Copper snare sounds INCREDIBLE!
I really enjoyed the sound, bro. Jeff Porcaro left us some great stuff. I like the way he used dynamics in his playing. (RIP Jeff). Thanks for showing your equipment setup. That really helped a lot.
Good job man! JP is my favorite drummer. I was devastated when I learned he had passed. Simon Phillips was a great substitution in Toto but no one is Jeff Porcaro.
Once I have the room for a third kit, the Yamahas are definitely going to be it, best drum set for the price by a considerable margin. Also, those cymbals sound amazing, as well as your playing.
That is some serious skills you put on display there! Very nicely done. I found this video while I was researching the potential purchase of a set of these Yamaha Stage Custom Birch drums. And man oh man, this video here only further reinforces my opinion that this is the best sounding kit on the market in this price range. Fantastic sound and tone! These rival the quality of drums that cost 2x or 3x more. And now that I watched this, I just might have to purchase those cymbals and hi-hats too. They likewise sound very rich and nice.
Great playing, Darran! I'll be using this with some of my undergrads as an example of a great combination of musicality and creative fill chops. Great work fella!
Great sound from that kit! Very well played btw, I play maple drums myself but that kit has been tuned to perfection! Love Jeff Porcaro and you really have represented the man and his grooves very well there. Again, Well played sir!!
Hi Darran,I must tell tell that I bought my Yamaha Stage Custom on hearing you play your kit,n I know it takes a great tuning, great mics obviously great engineer amongst other factors. I had a Pearl B.l.x. for 25years from new,but needed a change n the ol Yamaha's seemed to fit the bill. Cheers mate,beautiful playing,n thankyou😊😊🤘🤘🤘🤘💥
Great sounding drums but your playing is incredible.,, I'm sure Jeff is smiling down. Pack your bags,you could go on tour with TOTO tomorrow. GREAT FEEL.,,!!!
How did I miss you and your channel?! Awesome tribute, amazing drummer, sounds incredible. Can't believe how good those Yamaha Stage Customs sound, this is unbelievable. I've subscribed, of course.

I still can't believe that this kit sounds better than kits 3-4 times the price! Great playing Darren, keep it going!
Luvo Mdleleni it’s a yamah kit. They don’t play around. I’ve been comparing and seems like while others companies cheap out on wood and hardware yamaha builds to make them last
I got stage customs for my high school graduation... almost 20 years later, still get compliments on them all the time.
@@chaddkeyes857 thats awesome..They are awesome kits.
Great drumming! And great music Toto! The greatest band of all times!

He was definitely one of a kind.
@@darranmuller 😃 👍 👊
Not a lot of drummers can get the Rosanna half time shuffle as smooth. It was perfect.
watch Rossana drum cover by 8th note if I'm not mistaken. Thank you!

Wow. Super clean. Like a surgeon. This was perfect!!!!!!! Love the composure and every fill fit perfectly. Great job.
Superfine. And I agree with comments about both your playing and the sound of the kit. Impressed by both!
Killer playing and sound. I love how balanced it is. I have been focusing on shuffles with slow results and you make them look so easy. Thanks for posting.
Thank you Ammo. Keep working on it. You'll get there.
Fantastic tribute! I'm sure Jeff would be elated with your performance. I was blown away.

You nail it Darran..
I believe Jeff is smiling to you from up there.
I'm late to the party....but, you absolutely crushed this. Very well done (and recorded). Outstanding. As far as that kit goes....it's absolutely incredible to that a kit could sound THAT good at that price.
Thank you Phil.
What an awesome Tribute to Jeff, I'm sure he would be so honored. Fantastic grooves on all tracks Darran. Your a pocket monster mate.

Really good approach to Porcaro drumming style. Really nice Darren.
Great work sir! Fantastic pockets throughout!! And loved that you included Pamela...
AWESOME! About time you posted another video Darran! Keep em coming. 👍🏻
Superb drumming!
Jaw dropping material!
Whenever they need a drummer, look no further, you're the Man!
The feeling is just there.
I think not even their current drummer can play these songs much better than this - Better being a very subjective concept.
Truly pationate playing.

Great playing! Especially the Rosanna groove, wich is a very difficult stuff!
Great playing, great sounding kit.
Killer execution brother! Thanks!
Great sound! The cymbal selection wow! Picture takes, everything in this video is made with excellence!
Nice job, my fellow shuffle/Porcaro brother... the best kit under 1k out there.
Thank you
I love those paiste cymbals
Absolutely fantastic performance. Every piece of equipment sounds killer and perfectly compliments each other. There is simply no better entry level drumkit that even comes close to the Stage Custom! Oh, and that Copper snare sounds INCREDIBLE!
Nice work, really enjoyed it...and am deffo getting me a stage custom!!👍😀👌🏻🇬🇧
Thank you. They are amazing kits for the money you pay for them.
excelente trabajo!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! 😄
VERY NICE TRIBUTE,ONE OF MY FAVS ALSO,GREAT DRUMMING MAN
Amazing set of Paiste ! This guy knows his sound !
Thank you Michael.
I really enjoyed the sound, bro. Jeff Porcaro left us some great stuff. I like the way he used dynamics in his playing. (RIP Jeff). Thanks for showing your equipment setup. That really helped a lot.
Thank you Chad. he was an amazing drummer.
Muy bueno, bien ejecutado, buena mezcla, sonido de batería exelente... Muy bien
Good job man! JP is my favorite drummer. I was devastated when I learned he had passed. Simon Phillips was a great substitution in Toto but no one is Jeff Porcaro.
Totally Agree.
So good! Loved it!! The transitions between the songs were really cool. Very seamless.
Nailed it Darren; killer covers!
Enjoyed watching this again, and showed my Year 10 Music class! Great stuff, Daz!
Jeff porcaro is easily my favorite drummer. This is insanely good!!
Thanks Sam. Jeff was a master.
Amazing, great work!!
Here I am looking up Stage Custom Birch kits before I splurge on one this weekend... Toto AND Daz? Best thing to run into.
Once I have the room for a third kit, the Yamahas are definitely going to be it, best drum set for the price by a considerable margin. Also, those cymbals sound amazing, as well as your playing.
They are incredible drums for the money.
Just beautiful, every stroke, excellent!!! now you are one of my favorite drummers, at least I have your same shoes, your left snare and the sub kick
What brand are the shoes?
