I do hope there are pictures! lol.
You joke, but this was my dream kit for a while a year ago... surprisingly, the hardest one to get would be the 17". There's an 11" RIMS mount and you could probably just bend a 10" into the shape required for the 9", and it's easy enough to find a hoop maker willing to make 21" bass drum hoops, but I can't find 2.3 17" hoops anywhere. You could probably go with wooden hoops though. Remo makes all of the head sizes.Very cool! I love the three 10" tom concept.
Now, how about a 9", 11", and 13" tom, with 15" and 17" floor toms? And, a 21" bass drum. Just because.
Thanks! Agreed, being banned would be a superb marketing piece of gold
Thank you for your kind words.The only sizes that really interest us in that list are 11", 15", & 21". 15" is easy, but 11" & 21" only have limited head availability. As for making the shells, that's just a tooling investment.
Thank you
Not 'arsh, just doing the right thing by you
Irrespective of who is enquiring, if I think something is wrong for them, or they'd be better off placing their concentrations/resources elsewhere, I'll say it as I think it.Part of me would demand pictures, the other part would be worried about my inability to eat for at least a week after viewing them
Ok, I've changed my mind now that I've listened to the video on a good set of speakers. The middle tom all the way. What a difference good speakers make; I should've known better. That bass drum by the way is rumbling!!!!
The 8.5" deep tom sounds like a 10" tom should IMHO. Both the shallow & the deep 10" tom are operating at the extremes of 10" tom tuning whilst still maintaining tone. I think they do it very well, but it's the shallow one (in addition to the 8.5" deep tom) is the one I'd consider offering as part of the standard range. The very deep tom is a great exercise in what's possible with good design, but ultimately, a 12" tom would be far more flexible in this setup.Ok, I've changed my mind now that I've listened to the video on a good set of speakers.

I get where you're coming from regarding the zoom handy cam recordings. Naturally, they cannot compete with a properly recorded natural capture, & they certainly can't compete with the usual processed recordings applied to official drum videos. That said, I think our potential customers appreciate them, & have told us so on numerous occasions. They offer a reference point that's real world budget recording. More importantly, they compare most favourably with Zoom recordings made by others. If you listen to them through good headphones, the quality of the drum sound really jumps out at you, despite the modest recording method. There is one final aspect to this, we have no interest in the usual marketing material manipulation. We go our own way, & simply present things as they are.
Yes. Not only will there be a dedicated video for the In-Tense English walnut stave drums, but both steam bent ash & stave walnut will appear side by side in the battle video. Even better, they'll be joined by the 2014 Origin series kit in beech/ovangkol. Everything recorded live in the same space.
Drooling!!! Can't wait to see. Keep us posted Andy
4 videos. Session takes place July 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. Hope to have them all up within a few days after the session
Just catching up with all the insanely stunning output by Guru since I headed out on tour earlier this year. Awesome, just blown away.4 videos. Session takes place July 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. Hope to have them all up within a few days after the session
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot when we're peddling uphill as hard as we are
Thanks for that link Andy, I never found a copy at any of the airports I was passing though, so good to read that.Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot when we're peddling uphill as hard as we are
I have a day free next week to prepare the kits for the session, then it's off to middle farm for two days of silly tracking schedule & a day of video edit. We're walking into completely uncharted territory with our main session. Either brave or stupid, I'll know by next Wednesday. The three "honest Capture" videos are pretty straight forward, as we have our routine nailed down.
