KJ Sawka Playing Live At London Drum Show 2011 Pt.2
I liked how the drum sounds at medium tuning. At the high setting, I personally miss the high frequencies. Copper is a specific material for snare drums. Brass and bronze are more versatile.
It’s a less common choice for sure!
Too heavy for my lightweight snare stands. It takes time to find the sweet spots in tuning. Sound guy prefers the beech 1.0 anyway, and I do as well, because it sounds well in any room (even glass and hard tiles) and it's very forgiving in terms of tuning. So due to its heavy weight I use this one in a rehearsal space.
It is a heavy drum for sure! I’d be interested to try the beech 2.0 version!
Great sounding kit.. Clean drumming
Thank you aj, appreciate that!
Too bad it costs over $1200 🙁I do love 13” snares though. I’m using a Sonor Black Mamba and a Mapex Piccolo snare. They work just fine.
Damn that’s not cheap! If they do the job and you get enjoyment playing them that’s the main thing!
Nice video! I have one of these set up just like you have yours( p88, tapped butt plate) but with Aquarian heads. I really like the sound clips you did and I want to use them as a tuning exercise to see if I can get mine to sound similar to all of these tunings. Im guessing you are only changing the batter head tension. Are you changing the snare side tension? What about snare wire tension? Thanks!!
Thanks Bryan, the bottom snare head tension is pretty tight and the same for all tuning demos. Snare wire tension is fairly tight also but not choked when played softly.
For me the Meinl Byzance Monophonic is the way to go especially blending in perfectly with small group jazz. Has that nice slightly trashy buttery type wash which the other two are lacking. Also the bell blends in beautifully slightly activating throughout the entire cymbol without sounding like an annoying ear piercing church bell.
I am planning to buy this,,, do you recommend this to record drums for tracks
If recording is your focus only probably not. I would suggest an interface and microphones. It can work to demo ideas or record alongside a normal mic setup though.
@@thejamman555 Many thanks for your reply!!By the way, if I am to buy an interface and other equipment it requires some additional modifications to my room.. I am looking to buy a bit of decent unit to do some work for social media platforms.. does this work?
@@roshansenewiratne5504 it’s great for posting to social media, you can record the sound straight into your phone it saves time editing!
I’m late to the party but appreciate your review! Just acquired a 90s Blackrolite and can’t wait to get it! I dig the finish, as it reminds me of the clear night sky (hence it’s Galaxy name) as well as the old dutch ovens in this finish. Just superb! But its versatility is what makes this drum so special. I don’t hit hard but its got enough crack to do pop and rock as well as funk and jazz. The tone is as good as drums 3x more in price. Acrolites rule, and the Galaxy is a special member of the family. Both low and high tunings sound great! Cheers, mate!
Enjoy the drum, thanks for watching!
1:11 As a matter of fact, no, sometimes an aluminium drum is actually an ALUMINUM drum 🤷🏼♂️😉😜 Thanks for posting! 😄
Fantastic video!!! So well done!! But play it back at 1.25 speed. You’ll thank me later :)
Thanks for the video, unexpectedly, it's probably Istanbul this time
Thanks for watching, the Istanbul cymbal is a beaut! What would your normal choice be?
Great video Ryan, all 3 of those rides sounds lovely, always fascinating to hear how they each work in a musical context, wasn't one that worked best in all your situations for me, although the Mel Lewis is gorgeous...!
Thanks James appreciate you having a watch! The Mel Lewis is rather special, i’ve not come across a sound like that with anything else I’ve tried. What’s your go to ride nowadays?
First one!
Promo SM 😞
Please sell this to me 😂. Great video. Now I’m looking for one!
Thanks for the kind words, This one is a keeper I’m afraid!
@@thejamman555 oh I understand completely my man! I’ve got a few that I’ll never part with as well.
A friend of mine just told me about this. Been checking out some of the videos and I must say it sounds absolutely horrendous. Do yourself a favour and just mic your kit properly. Don't be lazy about it.
I prefer lug designs that are small and minimalistic, and preferably machined instead of cast. So I gotta admit, I hate the Vintage lugs. I'm just not a fan of what looks to me like unnecessarily large pieces of hardware (DW turret lugs are another one). These lugs are so long, they have to stagger them on their shallower toms, which is a bit of an aesthetic annoyance for me. I especially don't understand why anyone would choose to use two single-ended lugs when a single double-ended lug arguably works better (tension from both ends mostly cancel each other out, so less stress on the shell), weighs less, requires fewer screws, etc. Other than that, it is a fantastic snare, sounds great. BTW, is the shell rolled and welded, or spun?
I do like the staggered look of the lugs on this drum but I agree with you that seeing offset lugs on a rack tom doesn’t quite look right to me. I believe it’s a welded shell, thanks for watching!
Great snare i have one and need play on it
That is the nicest snare I’ve think I’ve ever seen love the look of it. Wood Tube lugs with the claws I love premier drums so beautiful sounds great. That head reminds me of a Remo Renaissance head I got on a used snare drum it’s got that same darker coating love the sound of the head. That makes sense if it’s some sort of orchestral drum head
Nice to hear someone else loving the look of it! I think you may be right about the renaissance head doing a similar thing!
All right brother you got me to subscribe, keep up the good work. Maybe throw some vintage drums into the mix
Thanks for the kind words!
What a beauty!
It certainly is!
Great video, cracking drum! Lovely tribute to Oz ❤
Thanks James, must admit it did choke me up a bit talking about him, what a legend.
Great video Ryan. Quick question-any crackling noises from the trigger output on the module? I’ve replaced two from new with this issue. Cheers, more vids please!
I have had some crackling occasionally from the jack leads that plug into the ead sensor. Normally rotating them around slightly fixed it for me. Thanks for the kind words.
@@thejamman555Cheers, looking forward to the next video!
I Like The Bass Drum Hole On The Middle Cause My Favorite Bass Drum Sound With Microphone On Middle Cause It Will Be Tremendously Good
EXCELLENT DEMO SIR - WELL PUT 2 GETHER AND COVERED ALL ASPECTS THX U
You’re welcome David!
I like how you tuned it low (first sound in the video), and any idea what you tuned it to? How tight is the bottom head? I just bought one online and want to tune it to sound exactly the same. Also what brand model is the kit in the video? And what snare wires are you using? And it looks like you had a damper on the rim for Supra Low. What is the bottom head?
Bottom head is the default ludwig one with generic 20 strand wires. The bottom head tuning is tight for all examples with a little give in it. The kit is a Sakae trilogy, thanks for watching!
The wrap looked like Tama or Mapex.
One more question. Would the P-86 be just as good as the P-88? As seen here... ua-cam.com/video/Ol6bV9H9a28/v-deo.html @@thejamman555
@@stickybandit2346 it’s definitely a Sakae. Sadly they don’t make these kits any more! I’m afraid I’ve had no experience with the p86 to offer an opinion.
FUCK HOW DO YOU NOT WANT ALL THESE SNARES
It’s a nice looking and sounding snare. Great review Ryan🤘🏻👍14
Thank you Ben!
i see now mics on your toms and cymbals.. Are you using a one overhead mic or any other digital triggers?
There’s no digital triggers. One mic on the bass drum, one mic on the snare. One overhead above the kit and one overhead to the side underneath the ride and near to the floor tom.
very useful review! thank you!!
My pleasure!
What about the ambient sound without close a up mic? That's all I care about. Using mics and a mixer is not an honest assessment.
high with dampeners. nice work
Thanks for checking it out!
Great overview! Thanks for this. I know what my next big snare purchase is going to be 🤘
Thank you for watching! It’s a great drum to own 🥁
I wish i had known these sti ks were available 5 years ago when you made this video. I love these sticks! People say theyre expensive, but theyre not more expensive than any other popular stick. I really widh they made nylon tip options though. By the way, now that its been many years later since you posted this video............whats your favorite stick?
Good question! I go between the Todd Sucherman signature maple stick or the Carter Mclean signature these days!
This is the application I bought the EAD-10 for (live micing) and THESE are the questions I wanted answered! Thank you, Ryan!
So glad it helped!
They probably just need to incorporate that technology into a pair of overhead mics
woah. tips are a lot more different than i expected. Definitely like how smaller tips sounded than the bigger ones I think
Tips do change the tone and feel of the stick quite a bit!
How much is a drum like this from VK? Very low tuning was my jam haha
Would be best to contact VK directly for a quote!
@@thejamman555 how much was yours? Or do you not want to say! Just was looking at one on Ebay but no idea of the worth!
@@nickbutler4809 If I recall it was around £400 second hand.
Ten years ago Ryan! Madness!! Hope you’re all good
Wow that’s crazy to think! That was a fun project and the mix sounds great.
Great review! Thank you! I just got an EAD. About to set it up. Am thinking about adding 2 overhead mics to ensure I get a good balance of drums vs cymbals. I also recently got an Avid MBox Studio interface and was intending on feeding the EAD and overheads through it. How did that go for you? We’re there any phase issues? Thanks again!
You do have to check the phase for sure!
@@thejamman555 Thanks! I expected so.
Could you rub a Roland on the bass as a external trigger for live? Metal drummer here, I really want this module because if all the features but I also want a trigger set up for those 220bpm bass runs, do you think is it possible to add that external or for example foot blaster with a connection on each pedal could you send those through the tom trigger imput but just change them all to be the same bass sample?
You can certainly add a Yamaha trigger to the kick and set that to a bass drum sample!
Vic Firth drumsticks are by far the best But I also love Promark I also love Zildjian and regal Tip and Vater
I’ve noticed that it doesn’t pick the cymbals up as much.. I was wondering if we can plug in overhead nicks into the brain?
To my knowledge I don’t believe you can.
Good review Ryna! Thanks! (Just bouth one and awaiting it to be delivered) 🙂
\m/
Ryan , What batter head are you using? Thanks,Jim in the US California.🥁🥁
It’s an Evans Calftone head!
Would have been nice to do the Superkick II with them.
When you say 1/2 turn, full turn etc, are you talking about the reso head? How was the batter tuned roughly, how many turns? Cheers!
I have a tm2 and a gigster. Currently using a kick mic but agree it picks up a lot from the bass player. I quite like it but I have to set the gain quite low as it can overdrive the amp. Do you use a sample from the tm2 or your own?
Yep a built in sample in the tm2. “Acoustic kick” works for me.
Hey Ryan - Great video presentation. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on one and adding the snare trigger as well. Tell me were can I purchase the EAD stand to hold it up or high hat clamp. Thanks!
From what I understand, this wasn’t made with live playing in mind. So it makes sense that volume up/down would be chained, because it’s designed for the drummer who’s playing. Now that so many drummers use it live because of control/consistency (never know what the mic situation is at any given venue) they may address this with future models.
