Let me know what you guys think of the new build :) Go to betterhelp.com/66samus for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help! Ohhhhh Yurrrrrrr!
It sounds like sex!!! If anything, I wouldn't muffle the toms. They sound huge wide open!!! Just from putting the heads on and setting it up, it sounds amazing!!!
Love it mate, love it. I know that happy feeling and I ain't a drummer. I play guitar but when I build my monster PC or got my dream guitar (Ibanex destroyed 2 1983 model one piece of wood, yea the whole guitar in one piece of wood) 😳🤮👹💪🤘 I was this happy. Enjoy brother.
Really awesome! What about putting the hi-hat directly in the center above the toms? I could imagine it's much better to reach that way. I think Danny Carey has a similar setup.
I totally agree and he is an amazing drummer and Also has an amazing set of humor and I wonder how much RUclips money That he makes from his. Did he have to spend on this amazing set up?
You're reminding me of my teenage years staring at a pearl drum hardware leaflet trying to imagine how all the pieces fit together, combined with using the old "build your own masterworks" online tool and coming up with an $8000 kit configuration. Happy for you, combined with heavy jealousy XD
One of the most beautiful kits I've seen, I love that black finish on those drums, and you custom bass drum skins looks amazing. If I could sit behind that kit for 30 minutes and play a few songs I think I'd be in heaven.
I don’t even play drums but this video makes me incredibly happy, nothing better than putting something epic together and this is about as epic as it gets!
Clamps are such a blessing!! I remember when I was playing in my friends band, I bought about 6 clamps attached to 2 cymbal stands and that held my 2 Toms, and a additional 4 cymbals. Easy to take down during practices and gigs
Hi I am new here Musician from Greece I play three instruments and drums I learned you by a friend you are my favorite musician RUclipsr good content continue the good job
I would have just sent you a DM but either RUclips took away that feature at some point or I’m just too stupid to find where they moved it to. Any way you could put me in touch with this guy? Just bought a big new double bass kit like this, have an existing Icon rack and trying to figure out the best way to expand/reconfigure it to accommodate my new setup. Not liking what I’m coming up with myself, maybe he could help me come up with something better.
From "This song is called Rock" all the way to this masterpiece. You have achieved so much!!! You have always been an inspiration for me but holy FAWK!!! This kit is in-fucking-credible!!!!!
I just looked up the Pearl rack thingymagis (I prefer my toms on the 2 kick drums and cymbals on separate stands) and im so shocked. That rack alone (without drums or cymbals) costs more than my whole DW setup. Amazing drum kit and the finish is second to none.
Words can't describe how you're feeling but man does it look like you're livin' the dream brother. What a sick kit, skills to match it. I look forward to more videos to come.
This monster kit sounds INCREDIBLE just with the go pro mic, I can't wait to hear it with a proper microphone mix. Dude, so happy for you, what an amazing kit. Enjoy it!🥁🥁🥁
I remember when I decided to go with a massive Gibraltar rack system. The rack itself only cost about 700 bucks. All the clamps and other shit was like 2500 bucks lol. I do like the square tubing of a Pearl rack though.
Wow, I would have killed for this set up 30 years ago when I was playing in a band. I actually did a custom (what I could afford) stand for my rototoms by dropping in to my local auto repair shop and having them bend muffler pipes to my specs. Worked great after some tweeking.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but for the snare you can use a short rack bar and another RJ100 for the snare basket. That should make it way more sturdy when connected to the rack. Fantastic build!!!
finally for 2 month's straight you have decided to set up the new pearl drum kit since yesterday i was impatient for 2 months it's already here for the first time of my life.
Lovely kit. I wish my ICON rack was this flexible! If you're going to leave the rocket toms on the same plane as the rest of the rack toms (and you most definitely should), might I suggest moving the remote hats into more of a central location (perhaps between the splashes)? That would prevent you from hyper-extending your arm whilst crossing over. I don't do a lot of two-handed hi hat playing, so that works for me. YMMV.
If it was possible to post photos, I would have shown you my old Pearl set from the 80s. It looked NOTHING like this :) But it was blue... until I my "Prince"-period hit. Then I sprayed it purple. Your set - awesome!
Such a beautiful set-up and then you played it like you've owned it for ever. I love the rolls through the toms - could you do a tutorial video for beginners like me??
Man, awesome kit! love watching the build videos. Just saving up for my first kit. and gather a lot of info. and vision from your content! Just the hardware is pricey!!! Thanks for it all
I saw a post on reddit this morning with this kit (didn't realize you had a reddit account). I go to work, come home, get on youtube, and this is in my recommended. The algorithm is putting in serious work for you my dude.
I'm still running my 3 sided Icon gen 1 rack. I use the Gibraltar cymbal stands with the memory locks off of the rack. All of my toms are mounted off of my rack as well.

Even on a single bass setup, I always love the setup on a double bass drum by having the rack toms (2 rack tom setup) placed right in front of the snare, even if it requires me to need a separate stand or attach a clamp to the crash cymbal's stand. That way I can position the ride cymbal lower (around the same height as the middle portion of the rack tom) and closer towards me (almost halfway above the bass drum). Stage-wise, I feel like it's better that way because I can position myself towards the audience instead of being slightly angled to the left.
Nooice! Those pure alloy customs are pure beauty. I put together my kit just about a year ago and I really didn't even think about a rack! It was the first time I had the opportunity to set up a real drum set in 20 years. I just didn't know anything about them! Damn now I'm gonna have to think about this. I also really love the DW tripod cymbal stands though. It was what I saw set up in guitar Center, using the tom mounts on the stand It's tricky I like them all.
no way i just figured out how to put together the closed hi-hat attachment, i've been trying to figure it our for weeks and no videos online were helpful, then I randomly came across this vid and damn..... thank you
I had a few different rack setups in the early 2000’s and man, if I had access to products like this it would have been so much better!! Love this stuff Samus thanks!
fan from Mexico here great setup love the vids and reactions recently watched your drumeo you nailed that in my ears , for never hearing that song you sir are one of my fav perc.. Keep it up have a great one
Very, very cool! I never liked the Pearl racks, but I think I might be changing my mind. I've used Gibraltar for a couple of decades with homemade pipes from car exhaust pipes-then I could get them at any length I wanted-but Pearl makes some awesome gear!
I paused and came down to comment, so if I look stupid that's why. I got an idea for the wobbly snare. Just double up the clamps, on that rack bar. Put one on both sides. Should stiffin it right up.... to par with me looking at that finish lolol
Real drums!!! Hell yeah! You sold me on the icon rack years ago and I really do love it. 🤘it’s best in the industry for sure. Pearl hardware is just hands down really good.
Absolutely love the new rack build! But honestly would have liked to actually see your process of figuring out how you wanted the main rack bars set up, would have loved like an hour long video no matter how long i had to wait for it
Samus your new kit is the nicest kit I've seen by far love the finish love the sound and you didnt tune it at the first roll you did i got to say WOW bro good job to pearl!! Keep up the good content my dude!! Much love!🤘

Sex!

22 out of 22 clamps!

Pearl seriously needs to Feature this setup on their Website.
That metropolis pt.1 was sweet!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that!
Was gonna comment this too but yeah it's already here. Listen nothing like the master of the "more is more" approach to break in a kit like this.
@@tharrock337 I fully agree! Just got a new kit few days ago and the second I set it up I played some DT and Tool :D
I totally agree and he is an amazing drummer and Also has an amazing set of humor and I wonder how much RUclips money That he makes from his. Did he have to spend on this amazing set up?
I was like: this is cool! And then... WAIT!
It's so fucking gorgeous man. I'm so happy for you.
How tf did you comment before the video was posted 😭😭😭
17:03 this is genuine happiness
Good lord that GoPro audio is so crisp and natural it truly made the real sound of the drums shine (also nice Metropolis pt.1 drum part haha)
It's a frickin work of art.
Drum set for millionaires only
You're reminding me of my teenage years staring at a pearl drum hardware leaflet trying to imagine how all the pieces fit together, combined with using the old "build your own masterworks" online tool and coming up with an $8000 kit configuration.

I have watched so many of these types of videos and i can honestly say your configuration/setup is the coolest ive seen.
I don’t even play drums but this video makes me incredibly happy, nothing better than putting something epic together and this is about as epic as it gets!
sic. Can't wait to see this kit in a future Drumeo video.
I've been checking the channel every day waiting for this
Metropolis pt1 is truly the most appropriate song to test drive this behemoth of a drum set, well done sir!
DOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!! That was EEEEEPIC!! The joy of the newness was beaming from the screen!! Fantastic attention to ergonomics. It's a beast!
what a monster, glad you‘re back on accoustic
Nice little Metropolis bit in there ohh yurrr!
Those sound incredible even on the GoPro.
16:43 Your Portnoy is showing 🤘
Porntoy, actually
Clamps are such a blessing!! I remember when I was playing in my friends band, I bought about 6 clamps attached to 2 cymbal stands and that held my 2 Toms, and a additional 4 cymbals. Easy to take down during practices and gigs
That is one fabulous and badass drum kit
Every time you said rack bar I heard Ackbar.
Behold. General RACKBAR!
ITS A BLAST BEAT
allahu rackbar
lock the rack bar! lock the rack bar
ITS A TRAP
WE CAN'T REPEL DRUMMING OF THAT MAGNITUDE!
Metropolis pt.1
Sick!!!
Hi I am new here
Musician from Greece I play three instruments and drums
I learned you by a friend you are my favorite musician RUclipsr good content continue the good job
you've just made the pipi grow I am absolutely in love with this kit
How'd you do those emotions??
@@BigEBigshe bought a channel membership
@@PenguinMan-dr3iu Then he would be under the comments by members and he isnt
@@Kittyderp No that's not how it works look at his username.
@@KittyderpHe is, lmao
We NEED that second ride cymbal on the left
Kevin Packard at Pearl is a great guy, and comes up with some really unique rack designs.
I would have just sent you a DM but either RUclips took away that feature at some point or I’m just too stupid to find where they moved it to. Any way you could put me in touch with this guy?

This is completely insane!!! It's my dream kit, I'd love to try that kit someday
From "This song is called Rock" all the way to this masterpiece. You have achieved so much!!! You have always been an inspiration for me but holy FAWK!!! This kit is in-fucking-credible!!!!!
I wish pearl would make black rack bars an option. The matte aluminum reflects light too much and obstructs the kit.
Way cool setup, Samus!
I wonder if you could get them anodized.
@@c0wg0d that, or powdercoat it
that kit is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen in my life
I just looked up the Pearl rack thingymagis (I prefer my toms on the 2 kick drums and cymbals on separate stands) and im so shocked. That rack alone (without drums or cymbals) costs more than my whole DW setup. Amazing drum kit and the finish is second to none.
Bitta Metropolis there at the end? ;)
Words can't describe how you're feeling but man does it look like you're livin' the dream brother. What a sick kit, skills to match it. I look forward to more videos to come.
I absolutely Love the fact that your hi-hats and ride aren’t super close, as is the case with lazy drummers ❤
Truly one of the most non sensical and weirdly snobbish comments I've ever read. And I've read a lot of comments by flat earthers!
i've watched this three times and i can't stop
I’m too happy and excited for you Sam
I hope it sounds great 🤩🤩🤩
This monster kit sounds INCREDIBLE just with the go pro mic, I can't wait to hear it with a proper microphone mix. Dude, so happy for you, what an amazing kit. Enjoy it!🥁🥁🥁
Finaly watched the whole video, holy crap on a danyal, that kit is insane buddy, litteraly the kit of my dreams haha
I remember when I decided to go with a massive Gibraltar rack system. The rack itself only cost about 700 bucks. All the clamps and other shit was like 2500 bucks lol. I do like the square tubing of a Pearl rack though.
Yes.Finally this kit.I love it Sam.Oh yurr

I’m surprised you didn’t add a second ride cymbal on the left
Great job explaining it all and all the new items! Congratulations on such a beautiful set up. All the best from Orlando FL !
2 cobs, 1 cav… okay? OKAY??😂
Not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but for the snare you can use a short rack bar and another RJ100 for the snare basket. That should make it way more sturdy when connected to the rack. Fantastic build!!!
FINALLYYYY BROTHAAAAA
finally for 2 month's straight you have decided to set up the new pearl drum kit since yesterday i was impatient for 2 months it's
already here for the first time of my life.
17:30 of me going “wow they have a clamp for everything”
finally you have your 10 inch rack tom back on to your drum set i am so happy to see it's on the drums again
Me as a guitarist don’t know why in the fuck I’m watching this but you’re always so engaging I can’t look away
When do we get to see more videos of this kit???!!!
can i have it?
Lovely kit. I wish my ICON rack was this flexible!

I have to add that the get therapy add is all to applicable
Is a huge monster 😍 cheers from Honduras bro!
I love 66Samus content he is the soul reason I'm saving for a drum set to Rock my neighborhood and start my own band someday samus is a boredom saver
OMG @66Samus. You got my favourite Masters kit my dream finish..😍😍
This is unreal man. You are a genius coming up with this setup 👏
Samus has the best drum setup on whole youtube and every platform right now.I am thinking to start play and samus is my idol.
Kit is sick bro! Snare sounds incredible!
I wonder how many other groups get so excited about metal bars and clamps with riveting names like the RJ-100 and PCR-200L.
fan from Mexico here great setup love the vids and reactions recently watched your drumeo you nailed that in my ears , for never hearing that song you sir are one of my fav perc.. Keep it up have a great one

Love to see the all acoustic stuff back
Super jealous!!!
What an amazing kit
It’s my newest favourite set up
Very cool set up Shamus, love it

great work samus🤘 congrats on your new drum kit....
What a beautiful kit and set up. The angle on that rack is cool as hell. Love the finish on those pearls.
Pearl and Meinl guy myself this is so good Samus
I truly dig you and what you do.
Good on you, brother
Samus your new kit is the nicest kit I've seen by far love the finish love the sound and you didnt tune it at the first roll you did i got to say WOW bro good job to pearl!! Keep up the good content my dude!! Much love!🤘
Dude! It's so sick!!! Love the finish and the amount of customization you can do with that rack is insane!
What a jigsaw puzzle! That's a tough setup if it takes a day!😂 absolutely beautiful kit! My favorite is the axis pedals, because I have them!🎉
Valió la pena la espera del video!!!! Felicidades por la adquisición
Ever thought about putting the floor tom on the rack with no legs? This was fun to watch. Kid in a candy store literally
The kit looks authentic... keep sharing the progress... lovely setup again... !!
I like the simplicity of the original ICON rack, but there's no denying the new clamps allow for way more creativity.
It’s gorgeous! So beautiful!
That kit looks so sick. The bass drum gwasd with the ligo really set it off. Good job man
