I’m 2 months in to drumming at an older age lol. I just bought a 7 pc Tama SuperStar classic. And believe me- the Yammie was a close second. Is the Vision discontinued? The 2 comparative are the decade and export. Any way--- in my newness to drumming I’m thinking a double pedal would be great to just get the left foot going as I start out the gate. And as I consider that- I’m thinking ya know what… at that price I could just add an entire extra kit, but mixed. I think birch plus my maple would be excellent. Anyone want to chime in on that? The only other thought is I might as well get just a 3pc with 24” kick. That for size difference also less duplicating the toms and snare. Anyone to chime in would be great. Great video man. Rock on!

I like some ringing

That gooseneck is garbage. Sounds alright though

Great!

SESONEON The wave please

Is 'Moon SeongWook-Leap' possible? The last drum solo is difficult.

OMG I watched this video 30 times

I'm a Korean fan. I've seen all your videos. You are my role model. Please continue to upload videos often!

you did that Bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Mercy that was a nice groove! I found that same snare last year on sale for only $99. It has became one of my favorite snares.

Hey! First, great review and sound test. I'm also in a mood to maybe share my experience gigging with Yamaha Stage Custom and other kits, that I'm gonna compare them to. Keep in mind that the kits I recommend below are the kits I also played many times irl. Yamaha Stage Customs win in terms of hardware, universal sound and usability. The sound is pretty sharp and will sound good in smaller spaces, but incredible on stages and bigger venues. Every drum on the kit sounds exceptional, when the stock heads are replaced. With stock heads, kit sounds very average with a lot of boomyness and useless warmth. Replacing stock heads is a must with this kit! At this price point however, I think there are objectively better options, if you're looking at sound. However if you're looking for best hardware, go with Stage Customs! Pearl Decades are an amazing option when it comes to versatility and sound. They are equiped with one of the best tom mounting systems at this price point and maple shells which are quite outstanding for the price. In my opinion, great kit, amazing projection and in my opinion, they just sound way bigger and smoother than Yamaha Stage Custom. Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz. Way cheaper and way smaller (it comes without hardware). Don't let the size fool you tho! I think that this kit sounds the best. I prefer it to Stage Customs and I prefer it to Decades... Hardware is worse when comparing to Pearls or Yamahas, but it's still amazing and you can definetly count on it, it'll never leave you hanging. It's shell is 7ply Mahogany which I think it sounds great and kind of way warmer and cozyer. I like how it sounds on stages and I really like them way more in clubs and pubs. In clubs they sound like you're playing on a way more expensive kit!

hey Adrian,. Good Sounding Drumkit, is that a Ludwig EPIC series?

Thanks for doing this video! Great job working around the kits and showing what they can do. I own a Pearl Vision set with double bass drums and I use Evans EC2S clears on the toms, Evans EMAD2 clear on the kick and Evans 500 clear reso/ Power Center/ Reverse dot batter on the snare. I noticed the comment about the toms moving around, I haven't ever had mine move on me. Pearl equipment holds very tight and secure. Even when I'm beating the hell out of the skins playing speed metal type rhythms. I absolutely love playing my kit, but must say the Yamaha is the trend-setter. It has been around forever and sounds great. Hope to see you doing more videos soon. Thank you again for the great comparison video!!

Very nice stuff

This would be a much better comparison if they were also tuned the same, with the same heads and treatment However, with the current set up, I would choose the Pearl. The toms have a fuller tone and resonant sound

Yamaha: 7:48 Kick 8:04 Snare 8:20 High Tom 8:33 Mid Tom 8:47 Low Tom 9:16 Groove Pearl: 10:34 Kick 10:52 Snare 11:04 High Tom 11:17 Mid Tom 11:30 Low Tom 11:49 Groove

I just got a mapex mpx (maple / poplar)14x8. I had the same face before made some changes… 😂 S-hoops New heads Puresound 30strand wire from the stock 16 She cracks like no other with a lot of body & control.

~🦾💡👑👑🏆💫💫👑🦾

Wow! fantastic playing! And I can't believe I'm gonna say this, cuz I really like my Stage Custom's, but I think the Pearl Vision's toms just had a little something that the Yamaha's didn't. It was really noticeable on the 12 inch toms between the two. Just a touch more sustain and bite. Thanks for the great vid!

Yamaha

YAMAHA NO 1

i feel that groove bro...superb!

Impressed

That clap sound doesn't let me hear clearly those drumkits 😢

Yo, Adrian. At that price point I didn't think anything could sound as good as the Stage Custom but the Vision really held its own. Thanks for this.

After 5 years and still the best cover of Feel That!

Hi Adrian. Zuerst einmal finde ich es krass wieviel Arbeit du dir gemacht hast mit diesem Video. Hut ab!!!! Ein Vergleich anzustellen mit fast gleichwertigen Drums finde ich extrem schwierig. Für mich klingen beide Set's sehr gut . Ich habe mich vor Jahren für das Yamaha entschieden und nicht bereut.

Reading reviews for a similar low cost gooseneck condenser - and the reviews really complained about the gooseneck moving (and in their case the clamp not holding on the rim very well.) With that said, this seems to sound decent. Thanks for the demo, of which there appear to be few. :)

You can hate on me ❤❤

Good sound best on.pearl vision is good snare is not like tge yamaha stage custom nice fills

yamaha birch custom, sound is more powerfull than the pearl vision

Nice , where did you find the drumless tracks

Yamaha better

6-stroke rolls are off the chain sir!

The Pearls sound lower n fatter but if they have 2 plys that's why. I don't usually buy midgrade kits but I bought a Stage Custom.

The Yamaha sounds more like a steel snare than the metal Pearl. The Yamaha will be better for jazz. I like a nice ring from a snare. That generally gets lost when the band kicks in and you're left with a clearer snare tone. I've always gone with that idea.

Great job. I forgot how dope this album was.

Good job!

I actually played this at the store. It was nice. I was concerned that it was poplar, so I didn't buy it, but I probably should have!!

👏👏💕

🔒’d In!

So clean 😮‍💨

Amazing in the pockets bro

I use both of these setups and love them very much. Even after purchasing the Pearl master, I still love these kits and often use them at concerts.

The crack that comes from a 14x8…. Nothing like it

Clean doc yessuh!

Yamaha Rocks...I have a stage Custom and bought a bunch of Saluda Cymbals.

Dude, your groove is killer!!! Was just looking up Sawtooth and stumbled on this video! Sounds great!You still like these drums? I was looking for an affordable tour kit.

Pearl

What if the drum key is a Sonor??
