First Off/Disclaimer: I have been playing and reviewing Oriollo drums for a good while now. It all started with a single 5.5 aluminum snare. I compared it to five other aluminum snares, and liked it the most. Over the years I’ve had the privileged to review many truly innovative products, like...

Hey everyone, While I am planning to do a full review video on this kit, I did want to share a quick preview and some initial thoughts. First off, this kit is heavy. Much heavier than steel and aluminum. At 3mm, The kick drum tops out at about 35lbs with the spurs attached. These shells are...

Awesome and super cool. Great job!

The back-story: If there was a meeting for Oriollo addicts anonymous I would probably have to attend. My collection thus far includes 9 snares and 3 kits. I use all of this frequently, and really can’t say enough good things about the sonic palette the different materials provide me...

The back-story: I think its pretty safe to say that by now, if you haven’t figured it out, I am a big fan of Oriollo drums. From my first 5.5 phantom, to the latest steel snare I purchased, these drums have consistently given me incredible tones and a wonderful playing experience. This is...

I think it’s more likely you are just out of touch a bit. No offense but Anika’s videos have millions of views and so do a great number of other internet drummers. Readership to drum magazines are down and dvd sales are practically non existent. The internet is where people take in their...

Thought I'd make a thread to discuss this new development and spread the news. One thing I like about Oriollo, is it seems Vukan is constantly developing and innovating new products, even though he could probably just keep selling what he's already created and be done with it. Vukan is one of...

The back-story: One of the great things about being friends with Vukan at Oriollo is he usually accommodates all my crazy ideas for cool drums. This drum was one of those ideas. Back in the day, I had a 15X6.5 Ludwig school festival in gold sparkle that was absolutely amazing, and regretfully...

The back-story: One of the things I really love about Oriollo drums, is that Vukan seems to always be working on something or innovating some new product. Often, I’ll message him and be like “What’s your next big thing.” It never fails that he tells me one if not multiple...

The back-story: So as many of you know, and saw in the original kit video we shot awhile back, I was lucky enough to be the first guy to ever have the privilege of playing/owning one of these seamless aluminum kits. I had been journeying with Vukan as an Oriollo artist for awhile, and we had...

The m179 is actually a fabulous microphone for toms, but I feel it's a little muddy as an overhead. What's your budget for the overheads?

Hey all! Just wanted to share some pics of my new kit. I have a Oriollo aluminum in 13.16.22 in raw finish, but I loved the sound and feel of the kit so much, I decided to get a second kit in smaller sizes. Its sounding wonderful. Thick and punchy with tons of tone. No video yet...but here is...

Oriollo offers metal shells if you are looking for that. North makes their own shells and seem to be good quality.

Hey everyone I just completed another brass shootout, and before I post the video, I wanted to post some blind audio to see what people liked and preferred and which drum they chose. There are five drums in this shootout, in no particular order Oriollo Encore 1mm Spun Brass Vintage Pearl COB...

I get that. I use to play a steel Yamaha at church and they can sound good, but when I compare a basic entry level steel with something like my spun steel manganese snare I def hear a difference in tone and sensitivity and musicality. Now that snare isn't super duper expensive but it's more the...

The thing with this question is most likely the people that don't spend a lot of money on their snares are gonna tell you you don't need to spend a lot of money on a snare, and the people that have invested in high end snares will typically tell you they are worth it due to a perceived...

Anika is awesome. She is a great player and inspiring a whole new generation of drummers. I would argue as well she is already doing or can do the checklist of things listed to be a successful touring drummer...but with her following, it's probably a lot more fun to do what she is doing than...

The higher count wires you use the more snare-y it's probably going to sound. A smaller wire count will help.

Hey y'all! I posted this on DFO and thought you guys might find it interesting too. I've been so busy lately making drum demos and daily videos, I haven't had as much time to do the shootouts...but one kind of just fell in my lap the other day. DFO Forum member, Alamadre lives down the road from...

It's based off the same concept of detuning a lug. The theory works. It's a bit harder to apply as his drums have more lugs, but I have found with an 8 lug if you go tight on top two lugs and loose on bottom two it creates same effect. Use the middle four to control the pitch. Whether this...
