In honor of Pearl's 75th anniversary, Todd Sucherman composed a drum solo. HOT TAKE INCOMING: this guy's pretty good.
But did he pay $3500 for it? I bet not.World's most recorded, most hits, most grammies drummer had his identical drumkit pair custom made - from plastic (GRP).
I’m in love with makha...??
I don’t know mate...all I know is it’s a lovely looking drum that sounds great and I couldn’t resist the Queen pun...But why so thick! Most Australian-made stave shells are a loth tinner, giving the drum more meat and a lower timbre.
Cool! I’ve honestly not seen those before (I’m a staunch coated Ambassador guy for snares and clear pinstripes on toms!)...I do like the fact that they used a clear CS, that works well on a mic'ed stave snare.
But also interesting, that they used the CS, instead of a custom-made head like the Jon Robinson nail signature.
This snare featured a head that was made to reveal the special build, but kept a coated larger playing field (which sounds better than the CS in general to me)

DW has this too with the Clear Edge heads, also made by Remo:

Great interview!
Besides the snare, they don’t sound that good to me. Which is really puzzling because I found them sounding lovely in previous videos.Behold, the most expensive Luan drums ever. They do have a unique tone that sounds exactly like I hear a cheap Stencil kit sounding in my head. Nothing made after 1990 sounds quite like them.
I find it interesting they came with black dot heads. That's very telling. It suggests that Pearl tried them with standard clears and coated, but they found them to have too much warmth and not enough attack.
All the videos you saw before were probably Pearl marketing videos. They are almost never to be trusted, no matter the company.Besides the snare, they don’t sound that good to me. Which is really puzzling because I found them sounding lovely in previous videos.
I can definitely admit that the majority were marketing. It’s a shame because I was interesting in it before.All the videos you saw before were probably Pearl marketing videos. They are almost never to be trusted, no matter the company.
I don't think they sound that great either. They are the drum equivalent of the color beige.
