Shallow bass drums are gonna be the new trend I can feel it. Steve Gadd gets it. I'm sure I'd love this kit. I adore my little Ludwig Questlove kit. First ever real matching kit and it's fantastic.
Shallow bass drums have been the trend for years and years now! Tons of these type "compact" kits with shallow bass drums have been on the market over the past couple of decades. The Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit, Taye GoKit, Tama Superstar Classic Neo-Mod (my fav, but discontinued), Tama Club Jam, DW Frequent Flyer, PDP Daru Jones kit, Premier Artist Heritage, and others by lesser known drum makers.
I play a Breakbeats as well, I like that it come with a 14" snare, the fullness from that makes the rest of the kit appear to be larger sizes.
@@fartpooboxohyeah8611Yamaha manu Katche kit was the first one I remember seeing. Way back when, early-mid 2000’s.
@@fartpooboxohyeah8611 I work in a drum store and have played most of these kits in showcases before stocking them. They all sound good, but all the staff agreed that the Yamaha Hip sounds the best. It sounded so good that myself and two others bought one that day. What really sold us on it was the kick drum. It sounds like a huge kick, unlike other compact kits where the sound is very hollow and box-like.
The Yamaha representative we work with explained that the Hip was one of the most prototyped drum products they have ever made. They really wanted to avoid sounding like every other compact kit on the market. So, they delved into the science of it, using birch wood instead of maple because birch works better with lower frequencies. They also made the kick drum 20 x 8, rather than the 18 x 12 kicks you usually get from other brands. It's truly an innovation in the compact drum space. You won't find any other big brand at this moment offering this type of kit with those sizes and such a great sound, all at quite an affordable price too.
A good drummer can make any kit sound killer!
I've had one of these Yamaha Hip kits for a year and love it. It is very compact and sounds great. I get many compliments on the sound and the small footprint!
Sounds good man you're really getting better all the time !! Thank you Rob !!
I rock a Breakbeats kit I got a few years back, smaller acoustic kits serve so many practical purposes. This Yamaha sounds amazing, great review!
Amazing vid Rob! Terrific breakdown on the Hip Kit. Yamaha's entry to the compact kit world is an absolute home run! Man you got those drums sounding KILLER!
I was looking for a compact kit and was on the fence about this one. Your video sold me. I picked up the natural finish version and couldn’t be happier. This little kit sounds amazing.
I bought an SCH for my three year old and he loves it! We switch out on occasion and he plays my LCHO and I get to rock his Hip. It’s a beautiful thing, man. Enjoy it!
Bro…awesome video as per usual, and I can’t praise this kit and Yamaha enough. I was using a Ludwig Breakbeats for a while, but I needed something to fit my 4x6’ area in my apartment. The HipGig was beyond perfect and fit to a tee. I have this in Classic White and added a 11x14” rack Tom (13” racks/floors were never my thing). This is my first Yamaha kit, too. Quality is impeccable. This looks/feels/sounds like a fine instrument vs. a wrapped toy. Have the most amazing time with this kit, good sir. Thank you for the great vids as always.
I bought this as my first physical kit (I had an electronic kit before). I love it. My friend who is a "real" drummer loved it when he came over. He was really impressed with its performance.
For almost 15 years I "compact gigged" with a Pearl Rhythm Traveler kit which had the same sized snare and bass drum as the Hip does. Never had any problem with cracking or thudding -- the bass and snare sounded great. Where the Hip has it beat is the toms sound spectacular, and the RT's toms needed better heads, some moongel and a prayer that they'd stay tuned enough to get through the show.
the options and configurability is what I like about this kit style - sounds crispy
I think for the most part, all the drum manufacturers are hitting it out of the park with their mini and compact kits! This Yamaha sounds great. I own a DW Mini Design kit with a 16" bass drum and it sounds amazing as well! I've also personally heard the Sonor Jungle Kit and the Questlove Break Beats and they both sound fantastic!
I’ve also got the Sonor AQX Jungle kit and it’s great, but it still feels a bit niche. The SCH fits beautifully into small spaces but also into big music.
i bought this exact kit a year ago, and couldn't be happier. Nothing but compliments from every band and musician I've used it with. I absolutely love playing it. The 20" shallow bass drum just has more bottom end and punch than the micro 16" kick drums . I also present it as an option to other musicians doing duos/trios/"acoustic" gigs....I tell them it's a step above a cajon, but not quite my full big rig kit in 13/16/24 sizes. Take your pick, and i'll show up accordingly. I also always use a Senheiser e901 boundry mic inside the kick and its just the perfect sound. You can't lose, it wins in every room.
I love the sound of this kit as well and I’ve watched all the videos but I have not seen in person. I can say though that I have not been pleased hearing the floor time with the snare on but it sounds phenomenal with the snare off. Do you ever play the floor time with the snares on?
Hi, I’ve just bought this kit.
Did yours come in tune or did you have to tune them yourself.
@steves1592 I definitely had to tune it up after changing out the stock heads to Evans heads. It might work as is, though out of the box.
@@dhaitmanek Thanks for the reply!
I’m new to drumming and I thought this would come in tune, but the snare sounds horrible to me!
Would you recommend changing the heads?
@steves1592 yes. I run a coated G1 snare top, 300 clear snare side, Gmad clear bass drum batter and coated eq3 front head. Coated g2(or g1) on Tom batter top and clear g1 bottom heads. All Evans. Works for me. Good luck
Good things can come in small packages. That is an impressive looking drum kit. Cheers, Rob! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦🥁
sounds great man! always killing it!
Those kits are GREAT! Love the channel! 🙏🥁
I have had the Stage Custom Hip in black with the Cross Town Hardware for the last 2 years and it is great. I probably use that set up for 90% of my gigs.
I just might have to put my 22" into semi-retirement. My 12 & 16" toms will work just fine with this little beast.
What’s your tuning recommendation for the 13” Snom?
Sounds fantastic particularly the floor tom/snom?& bass drum...Some lovely tasty snare playing/loved the playing 👌
Bought one last year-it’s done 50 gigs and sounds great. Bass drum is amazing when mic’d up. By far the best sounding small kit out there at a crazy affordable price! Cheers Rob
Great review. I already have a Questlove kit but, I've never been disappointed with your recommendations. I bought a stage custom snare a year ago based on your recommendation and I haven't used another snare since! The yamaha kick pedal and evans heads you've recommended have also been spot on for me. Thanks for helping us budget drummers out with your experience. 👍😃
rocking a yamaha stage custom bop kit! i love it man. this thing looks slick too! may get one as a traveling set. Love my stage customs man!
That is a fantastic sounding small kit. Thanks for sharing.
I agree %100! Great drums. Also, you sound awesome!!
That's one of the coolest tom grooves I've heard in a while. :)
I got one of these kits and I love it too!!!! I have mine in surf green ❤! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and appreciate your great videos! ☝🏾🙌🏿✊🏿✌🏾💪🏾🎵
I have the surf green one ; get mad compliments, plus the floor/ snare combo is fantastic!
Nice. Looks like the bass drum will fit a double pedal comfortably with smaller beaters. Yamaha is such a great drum manufacturer. Great video thanks.
Sounds nice! I’ve been using a Dixon Little Roomer kit for 3.5 years or so. Love that thing.
Sweet! I have a 7 piece Tama Superstar Classic kit, but also recently got a 3 piece Tama Club-Jam Suitcase kit too. Added a DW snare to it. Great little kit! 😎👍🏻
That hardware looks awesome man!🥁👍
Nearly went for one myself as the kick sounds great especially! Ended up with a recent tour custom 20,10,12,14 which suits me great for gigs.
I love the way you tuned this kit!
My kit was given to me by my cousin, some fool had left it in a rental property for 6 months. It's a Rogers big R 10 ply circa 1980. 24x12 kick, 5 toms, and a late 60s hi hat, with Paiste cymbals. Sounds awesome but i never move it. My next drum investment will be a kit like yours. Great review, you're the go to guy for drumming and still my favorite channel, thanks again
It's a cool kit. Thinking of getting one myself. As always cool video Rob. Btw I'm guessing there's a video coming on the new interface behind you in the near future ?
I love my SC hip kit, amazing sounding kit
Thanks so much for the video. It is very helpful as I have been in the market for my wife to buy me a compact kit. Also, the Weber Kettle is pretty good stuff.
I got one coming in the mail(20 inch kick line) soon, stoked!
Been watching your channel for a while now, Rob, and love the content! The sound of your previous kit was just perfect, was in awe of the big fat sound from it, just sounds perfect. This Hip kit might be great for rock in compact spaces, but just sounds thin, and too much of a 'crack' for church, even with mics on everything? I play a Roland TD-50X setup in church (cue the electronic haters), and still haven't got a sound anywhere close to your other kit!
Love the simplicity! Every stage I perform on, (Tiki Bars) have only a 6 x 4 area for my Drum kit!
I appreciate these reviews and stuff, Beatdown. Gonna have to pick me up one of these.
Nice! Do me a solid and use that link! 😎 No pressure 😏
@@RobBeatdownBrown You know I will, brutha!
I ordered my Stage Custom Hip in Natural, I believe I got the 8th one that came to Canada. Along with the Yamaha DFP-9C foot pedal, and the Yamaha lightweight HW-3 hardware pack and the Yamaha EAD-10 drum microphone rig. I really liked it all, amazing. But the whole world changed when I put the new Evans heads on them. I am one of the happiest guys on the planet!
Mixes and matches with the standard Stage Custom drums too, if you wanna change up your tom situation or supplement it and have the same look!
It's pretty perfect. Covered for every situation under the sun 👌🏾
Been wanting one of this for some time. Sounds and looks great. The surf green is my dream toy... 😂
The surf green one is pretty sexy 👌🏽
The crash on your far right is the only cymbal I would use with my kit, the sound just blows the rest of your cymbals away, that's not a knock on your other cymbals, that cymbal sounds better than 80% of the cymbals I've heard in my life
"Interchangeability" is, indeed, a word. We live in a wonderful time.
Love that bass drum.
SO I own a SCB kit purchased in Oct 2023 (w addl 8" tom, and 5.5 steel snare, subsequently added on), and it really is a fantastic kit. I'd owned an impulse-buy SCB snare I grabbed at a shop one day for about a year before that, great workhorse snare live. With that context - the first bar you drop on this Hip version? Oh my. That kit is fattt. I'm 54 seconds into this review and already sold haha
I got mine the same time my buddy got the Tama version, and his tom mount failed in under two years, and he finally jumped on the Yamaha train with me and couldn't be happier.
I've never been a hip gig guy but those do sound great, especially that kick.
That's the best tuning of the floor tom I've heard on one of those kits.
Mr Brown your yamaha kit sounds good and fully tuned 🥁!
I just got this kit and it is quite amazing for the size. The kick sounded horrible until I got Evans EMAD 2, now it sounds near perfect. I changed the heads on the toms and snare as well. Stock heads are usually garbage, but even more so in the case of this kit. Change the heads, tune it up well and you will have a tight little kit that sounds better than most other full size kits. I am REALLY happy with this purchase!
Wow those are bright and loud nice man that snare is sick 😂❤
Man those drums sound killer… that kick… damn 🍻🍻🍻
I got me one of those Tama Neo Mod kits with very similar sizes. The 20 x 10 kick it came with is my new all time favorite kick drum. with minimal muffling and an emad that things projects and punches as much as a dang 22 x 20
Agreed 100%. The neo mod bass drum creates almost full size sound. Shame they discontinued it for reasons unknown.
@@raiahmed9825 apparently it was because of their club jam series coming out. But if you ask me those kits really don’t sound good at all, they sound like a kids kit lmao
really liked the groove yuu opened with...
Hello rob! I bought the paiste 900 after seeing your demonstration and I am happy. Thank you! Where could I buy a wood-look bass drum head like the one you have there? and thank you very much for the demos on your channel.
I love my Hip Kit. I did not add a port to the front BD Head. It already has enough punch and the non ported head adds a lot or resonance. I just ordered the regular Birch toms 10, 12, 13 and 14 sizes with a double tom mount that fits on the BD. The toms won't add much space on the BD and a 14 Floor tom vs the 13 Snom also doesn't take up much space. I will pick what toms fit the space. The BD is great. I just bought them in a whim and just love them. I will also use for recording a specific sound. The BD has enough bottom especially if you don't bury the beater and the right beater type. You can really lay in to the BD and it's solid. Perfect BD for smaller gigs, recording and I'll tune it for Jazz.
Sounds great! Also noticed you switched to Studio One.
Great sounding drums
Nice kit for the Little area sound correct
Very good kit, in terms of price, quality, sound, portability, i love it. Although it was a bit heavier than i though, being that tiny didn't think it'll weight like that, i think it's better like that, and still it's the best for me.
Fires right out of the gate with a dope beat...
I got the tama club jam mini. First kit, but pretty awesome! Just wish the kick was a 20" like this one!
That kit sounds great
Those Hips are swingin'! Great kit! Personally, I went with the DW Frequent Flyer designed by Peter Erskine, mainly because of the 20x14" bass drum. I compared that DW Erskine kit to the Yammies, Sonor, Ludwig, PDP, and Gretsch kits, and it won hands down for sounding like a full sized kit in bop sizes. Not the cheapest option, but definitely sounds the best in a tiny package. You can make anything sound good, Rob! ...and sell it too! ;)
Truth of the matter, though, pair a Yamaha EAD10 with *any* sized kit, and you can make a bop sound like an arena kit! So, Yamaha is still winning the game, even with my DW. lol
I don't know why but a 20" Bass has that effect I've got a Pearl 22x16 Pearl but sometimes I'll use a 20x14 Ludwig and have learned to never bury the beater into that 20, usually on a small stage our piano is about 3feet in front of me, that beast will knock her wig off...and she doesn't where a wig.👍👍
Wonderful sounding drums.
I agree. Love these things 🔥 Eyes closed it’s virtually indistinguishable when it’s tuned low and mic’d up. You wouldn’t miss your 22”
Been using this kit for about a year and I am completely happy with it! You can fit all the drums in a 18/20 hardcase so you are carrying all your drums in 1 bag. I use it with every live gig at this point, it's easy for me to carry and it sounds amazing to play. The kick sounds like a proper kick drum. With other compact drums I always found that the small kick drums sound like your hitting a box, no real tone. I think its because the yamaha kick is big and shallow rather than deep and small like you see with other compact kits.
I have a sakae Birch Almighty with an 18-in bass drum 8 10 14 toms with a 13-in snare drum and I love it
Cant watch vid yet, on subway, but LOOK AT THAT SET!!
Reminds me of Gadd's 70s setup.
Hey Rob,
I have one of these kits too but I'm really struggling to tune it - particularly getting the snom to work as both a snare and tom
Any chance of a tuning video on the custom hip?
Thanks!
Andy
Why didn't they just put the snom on a snare stand too, though?!
Got a Pearl Rhythm Traveller with basically the same dimensions and an extra rack, but this seems to sound nicer. Tempting....
That thing looks pretty interesting anyway its cool u know sonor makes one like that too but of course u are a forever yamaha dude man u are like a god to me bro cool
I like it Rob. But my goodness that Phenix is fire!!!
No arguments there 🏆
I love my Pearl travel kit using as electric trigger now
It'd be great if you did more drumkit reviews.
You need the Yamaha Crosstown aluminum super-light stands with that kit.
Cool kit, killer demo! What kind of car? 😀
Yo Beatdown! When I followed the link for the shell pack it came up as the EQ Pad. Just thought you should know.
Thanks for the spot. Corrected ✅
I have actually been kindve been looking at these recently
You seem to be in love with Yamaha. It does look and sound great, though.
That snare. Wow
Love it! I want to sell my full stage custom and get this!
I LOVE MINE!
Hello Rob, this is a killer snare sound. Can you tell us the model/number of the puresound snare wires you put on the snare?
I always fancied a small cocktail kit - and looks like Yamaha are on to a winner with this kit. - I always fancied a bigger drum room too, but that's never gonna happen - so maybe I'll get a smaller kit instead!!
Would be nice to have those lite Crosstown stands to with it!
It’s funny how us guys 6’ and over will completely change vibes and performances once we’re actually comfortable on a kit high enough for us.
When I used my church’s pocket kit lowered and had to adapt, I felt all constrained.
They had me bring my own kit and I was at full playing height and level… so much more comfortable and able 🙏🏽
Next to my car and Webber grill 🤣🤣classic Beatdown !!
Whats the depth of the kick shell without the hoops? I have a 20” kick I’m planning to throw on my table saw and cut down…wondering what to cut it down to. Also considering cutting from the center and putting a gasket on it so that I could open it and use it as a storage bin and then I wouldn’t have to disturb my bearing edges either.
one thing im learning about drums "im a super NOOB" is that nothing is how it sounds. Until you hear things in person and without mics you never know what anything sounds like. Im looking sideways at my new 500$$ 15" Zeldjian hihats that im not totally happy with. lol
Ron so WHY is the 8x20 kick great? Why not a 14 x 18 kick drum?
That kit sound great ! Did you change your recording setup ?
I saw on the video a presonus interface
😉 Studio update video coming soon
I just got mine in the mail. I got new kick drum batter head & ❤
🔥🔥 Yamaha Birch ! 🔥🔥
Awesome kit, But I just put all my money into a Tama Club Jam With An 18" Kick, But With great respect your Skillset is Awesome 🥁🔥🥁👏💎👏
I just picked one up! What heads did you use on the snom?
Why did you swap out the snare wires? And which puresound snare set did you get if I may ask?
