Pearl Export Series
Oh, I got those for sure, right here: Merry Christmas.
Nice rig. It will serve you well.
Clean your camera lens/8
Your crashes seem very far away bring them in
Yeah they keep moving away from me while I play
Your stands need their tripod base lowered? I dunno know how to say it…. The legs need to be wider
Probably also has the nut too tight on the cymbals, so the vibration is transferring directly to the stand and bouncing away
Nice kit!! Your cymbals could be better but it’s playable.
Also badass finish! Pearl did some insane stuff with the exports.
You have any recommendations for better cymbals? I recently got my yearly ref bonus so I’ve got roughly 1500 left to spend
I don’t recommend cymbals because not every human will like the same sounds.
Go into a music store and try the different types to see what you like more.
Try Wuhan crash cymbals. They're b20 bronze and not expensive at all. They sound wonderful
I’d go for the complete line of the meinl darks you have, 17/19” crashes, 22” crash ride or the 20” mega bell, depending on ur taste and the 10” trash splash
I totally disagree I don’t like their cymbals especially the darks. But since he already has some maybe he likes them like you do
I personally think they are literally the best sounding cymbals of all time lol.
Im personally a paiste guy myself lol.
Fairs
Cymbals up top look a little too far away to be comfortable
I see in another comment that you got a yearly bonus so I'd suggest starting out buying all new heads top and bottom for the whole kit
Then I'd say look at getting a new set of hi hats and a new kick pedal and if you have any money leftover, look into a new ride cymbal.
I love the finish on the shells. Everything else I would upgrade, starting with heads. Then cymbals. I would only buy good cymbals, not entry level or even intermediate level. If you can only afford to replace 1 cymbal at this time, do the hi hats. Then start saving and replace the other cymbals as you can afford to, but again, only with high quality ones. WHICH ones is up to you, go into a large store and test them out extensively. Watch a lot of YouTube demos of the ones you THINK you are interested in before you make a purchase. Drums can come and go but excellent cymbals you will likely keep your entire life. But again, don’t underestimate what a difference new heads will make over those stock pearl heads.
Kit is awesome! Camera not so much…
he appears to be in some sort of giant cloud
Too much vapin’
The cymbals have social anxiety
Toms too angled for me, cymbals too far away
PS1
I do like the same sized toms for the racks.. never saw that before.
They’re not same sized
Suggestions for improvement are welcome!!!
