from 5458 reviewsPurchased 302 hoops for a metal snare that needed more focus and less overtones. The 302 hoops did exactly that while enhancing the rimshot.
Great addition to my Pearl Drum collection….
Considering i bought my original shell pack a few years ago I was worried about the finish matching the res of my kit. I can say it is about as good a match as I could have hoped for! My only question is why don't they offer the 22" bass drum shell pack with the 14" and 12" instead of the 10" and 12" toms?
wood beaters give me the thud I want and the rebound I need.
I use clear emporers as batter heads and clear diplomats a resos and they sound great!
Softer than expected. Doesn't really cut through rock music
Perfect size for packing in a carry on bag for travel.
Yeah
I replaced all the crusty hardware (except the lugs) on my '82 Mastercraft with the new Tama replacement parts and they work perfectly. Super easy to install, too. The throw-off is very smooth and holds its wire tension. Really glad Tama has reissued these. It's given my drum a new life. Thanks DCP for stocking all the parts!
The Paste 602 16" paperthin crash gave me the ability to have the effect of a crash in a small setting without overpowering the room.
Great all the way around!
Great Ludwig product ,as usual !! Thanks !
This is a great set of hardware, especially for the price. The hi-hat stand is sturdy and the legs swivel easily for positioning around the double pedal. Speaking of the double pedal, it lacks some of the adjustments of some of the higher priced pedals out there, but feels quite solid overall. I am certainly in no rush to upgrade it. The boom stands strike a good balance in regards to sturdiness without feeling overly heavy. One of my boom stands has a crash and a tom mounted on it, and it shows no signs of movement even when I'm pounding away. The one caveat is there is a warning to fully loosen any parts such as tom mounts and memory locks before removing them from the stands to avoid messing up the black finish, and I already noticed a bit of scratching of the finish of one of the boom arms from messing around with attaching a separate mount for a splash onto it. Just something to watch for if you're going to be doing a lot of tear down and set ups. Overall though, I am blown away by the quality for the price and foresee this hardware lasting me for many years to come.
This set is very well made with great hardware and looks stunning. I’ve got it sounding good and look forward to gigging with it.
Thank you DCP AND MEINL AND MIKE JOHNSTON!!
