Drums, Cymbals and Percussion Instrument at Drum Center of Portsmouth

I only use them on bottoms of toms.
Less “flap” than Diplomats but still plenty of resonance.

Perfect fit and match for Ludwig Keystone

I’m not sure if I like looking at these drums or playing them more. They’re beautiful, the sound is amazing. I couldn’t be happier. This is my first professional level kit, and although I’m not a professional, the sound is clearly different from the drums I’ve had before Ludwick classic maple is definitely worth the money.

excellent package of clutch and cymbal holders

It's fine. Your service was OK.

This drumhead makes my snare sound tons better. I'm very happy with my purchase.

The two rivets create the right amount of sizzle for a subtle, "smokey" effect. Great for any type of jazz as either primary or secondary ride. While it's perfect for jazz, I find the overall sound so beautiful I use it for all types of music. Every drummer who's played my setup comments how much the love this ride. Hard to find Mel Lewis cymbals, but fortunately, DCP offers the entire line.

I got these for use in a power pop/post-punk influenced original band. They're perfect; very solid feel, but not too heavy or clunky. Clean tone that projects but isn't obnoxious in a mix - they're focused, and work well in both recording and live settings. The fact that they're at a great price for a pro level hi-hat is icing on the cake.

This snare is incredible. I've never played a finer instrument. You can tell it just holding the drum. The 3mm cast phosphor bronze shell weighs almost 20 lbs and every detail of the hardware is of the highest quality (and super heavy duty). The sound is well-balanced-- bright and articulate but with a warm bottom-end to round out the overall sound. It also keeps its tone at high tunings. I don't usually do high-count snare wires, but the 36-strand high carbon wires on this drum are top notch. I usually replace stock wires day one, but I have left them on because they just sound too good to replace. It comes with USA Remo heads (the good ones) so you can play this thing right out of the box with a bit of tuning. And it comes with a soft shell case to carry it in. I would give this drum six stars if it were possible.

Love the feel of this stick! Nice balance, control and weight for up tempo music. I use it a lot for Latin and Latin flavored tunes. Also, great tone from thinner heads and thinner cymbals, although sounds pretty good with mid-weight heads and cymbals. Only negative is maple doesn't hold up like hickory, but the sound and feel are worth the drawback. I would recommend this stick!

Great

It's awesome !!

Awesome

Perfect for my jazz gigs!

Recommend the Canopus Snare Wire Belt for any snare, but especially wood snares as opposed to string. The belt "spreads" the tension against the snare edge so that no damage will be done to that edge.
