BUYING the CHEAPEST Drum Heads on Amazon and they were only $37 for a full set of batter heads (12, 13, 14, 16, 22). These are basically a bootleg remo pinstripe. If youve been paying attention, these look very similar to the heads that come on the Donner drum sets and Eastar drum sets. Im 99% sure these ARE the heads that come on those drum kits. Theyre very thicc and punchy, but are surprisingly decent drum heads! - Hudba
How many of you are going to use these drum heads? I mean, they're only THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS!!!
These heads are regular heads we use in our country (cheapest)
Mostly called remo encore
Definitely
Hard pass for me!
Negative. They don't sound good. I also try to avoid powering the Chinese economy whenever I can
I have budget shells so it just makes sense to add budget heads lol. I’m definitely going to try these out. Love the tuna wrap shell too!! That’s a great idea!
Proof that in all instruments, we just always fall for marketing and get caught up in big brand names. These smaller brands deserve a shot.
It helps when you have a good set too
its proof that you dont know shit about the music, they sound bad asf
Yeah like I bought a flugelhorn made by Levante, the tuning slide trigger isn’t perfect, but everything else I is great, and it costed like 265 dollars too
@@azxtntthose dr suess instruments arent cheap
@@guanoApe cheaper than the 1k+ anyone else wanted for one
not bad at all. expected far worse but honestly sounds good. the snare in particular worked pretty well
my thoughts exactly!
Same here!
Ngl, I was vibing to the "pop" mix
Not a cheap kit though, I imagine a cheap setup would sound much worse
i think the real change would come after some usage, durability seems like a thing too
We aren't going to discuss the tuna can snare? That is...amazing.
I know, right? Yes, please!
Food drums are always great. I once saw alestorm live with a lasagna double bass drum
I don’t know much about drum heads but I think for the price those sounded amazing. I’d expect them to be super easily broken and sound like a drum kit for kids but those were really decent. I guess almost anything can sound good when someone who knows what they’re doing is tuning/playing them.
EXACTLY...that's why you say my drums sound sexy
I was pretty sure you were going to say, "You get what you pay for and these are crap." That's pretty cool that they worked okay. Didn't sound amazing, but they didn't sound terrible. It would be fine for just practicing, jamming or putting on a kit to sell. (I would definitely recommend them for that house kit I played on a couple weeks ago that had absolutely worn out, out-of-tune heads.)
I think that's like the ones for the snares in my old middle school band class and toms
Ah yes, moist resistance. Very good.
💦
Enjoying the new editing in your latest videos David. Love seeing you progress in so many different ways man. Inspiring.
I don't even play drums but I can't get enough of your content.
I've been using these on my toms for over 2 years now. They hold up. They are a bit more muted than pinstripes in my opinion. sound just fine and even better mic'd. haven't broken one yet and I hit pretty hard.
That break at 7:30 is absolute fire! Nicely played, even if it took a few takes to get right.
I'm no drummer, I'm a guitar player. So to me, without any knowledge of drum tones, it sounded good. In a live show you definitely wouldn't notice the difference of these to more expensive brands like Remo. (Again, if you're not a drummer).
So yeah, it's definitely worth the money.
guitar player here you took the words out my mouth lmao
the mix on the pop track was great! really like the compression you put on there :)
digging the more out there mix you did in the pop section! generally a great production as usual xx
God damn you got the most amazing drumming content on CZcams my dude. Love the work you are doing David. Respect brother!
Was gifted these by a family member and I still use them to this day for my practice kit, great sound for the price
David I love your vids keep it up! ❤
I love that Tuna Can snare so much holy cow! Also, I'll definitely grab these in the future for my home practice kit when it comes time to replace those, I use Evans SoundOff pads so they don't really need to sound incredible.
Holy shit, you’re so right about that track sounding just like a Totino’s pizza roll commercial 😂😂😂
your kit sounded so good.... and u f@#$ed it! appreciate the hard work man
Honestly they didn't sound nearly as bad as I anticipated, quite the opposite actually. They're not amazing but absolutely decent considering the prize. Maybe not something I'd use in the studio, but on practice kit somewhere or the local church drum set, absolutely.
geat review! brought me much pleasure feeling and fortuitous to watching good time review of head
I love your videos I wait for them every Saturday this one was fucking awesome ❤
legend 🙌
Been here since before you painted that tom man keep up the great vids
Rocking my favorite combo of cymbals you use! Great vid dude!
🤘
Nice work David! I’m a Remo guy as I hedge you are too. Why do we like Remo so much? It could be a cool but potentially controversial video idea on different brand comparisons. Remo, Evans, Aquarian, etc. I also appreciate the Saturday morning video upload time. My version of a cartoons. Lol 🤓 Well done David! Keep up the great work.
Perfect for a school drum set! Can even let the students practice tuning with these
dont forget to tell the kids, that other kids that should still be in school are making these in a sweat shop for pennies.
@@krusher74 dude shut up, stop being so weird
Awesome vid David. We definitely need something on that snare drum though.
An huge surprise??? 😯
Now I want some pizza rolls, thanks David
😏
That last point is actually critical. These heads are incredibly affordable, so if you are having a rough day you can just take it out on the drums. The drums are such a good stress outlet and affordable heads will make me feel less bad if I do ruin them
Take the budget sound! I always say a good musician makes anything sound good! Nice touch man!
Nice Drum 🥁 David 💪🏻💪🏻😊
Excellent video
That drag part in the groove lmao nice picture placement
Here from dank pods you scratch the same itch perfectly liked and subbed keen for more
i really love, science stuff and you connect it to drumming 🤘🏻
what a scammer yeyyyy
Hey Dave-been a drummer off and on for almost 50 years (between raising a family and all the responsibility of that) and enjoy your advice and the drummer hacks you share. Wish I could've known these in the 70's and 80's. But on this video the first thing I noticed was how perfectly matched your cymbals were. They matched perfectly with all 3 genres of the music you played. Not even bad drums and/or drum heads make a set sound worse than wrong cymbals. You know your stuff and even at my old ass age (67) I can learn from you. Well done!
Good video! 🤘🤘🤘
Used these same heads on a few kits I flipped. They sound great for the $. I got mine full set back when they were $17 great deal .
That fill was worth every take. I was watching on TV and signed in on my phone just to post this comment... that's how tasty that fill was!
next level review
Great allaround Heads man!! Sounds perfect as all other heads sounded great too with your earthworks mics !!!But is a fair comparison cause you use the same mics for everything!!!
Love the editing! Just bought 'em with your link... don't spend that affiliate money all in one place ;)
Attack drum heads were that price and I actually liked them. Same crimp technology.
love the snare
Thanks for explaining how some drum heads work (I am not a drummer so I do not know but you helped)
@5:24 we used to buy the 20-pairs of bulk sticks that came in bags, and we went to all the stores for used cymbals every month...I am good with my Remo setup to answer the question about these heads
Bro your tedtalk bit there in the beginning. I'm wheeze laughing
I like the pop tuning sound. These probably sound better than the cheaper heads that come on cheaper drum kits. And they don't cost any more.
The pop tuning would also sound great in a fusion setting.
I was once driving and found myself QUEEZY AT THE WHEEL!!!😉👍🙏🙏🙏
The podium scene cracked me up!
I've had a set in my studio for years but never replaced the heads cuz I'm broke. I'm no drummer, but I want em to sound decent, and now I know where to get cheap heads.
I have that same Opinel knife. Since it's so thin, you can get it razor-sharp super easy 👌
Intersting, the Soul tuning makes that kit sound like a birch kit.
Nice video and I really like these heads but I still think you should have A/B-ed them next to real pinstripes 😜
we also have no idea from this if they have any durability or hold tune.
a good drummer will always make any kit sound amazing
I use them on my cheap kit and here theyre called "remo encores". They can sound good as concert toms and IF they are properly tuned and muffled you can also get some decent results.
Those are not remo anything!
@@doknox here in Brazil we have American Remo and Remo Encore made in China (like this kit showed by David);
@@doknox hence why i used commas.
@@douglasdrummer exactly. They still say remo real small on the top, at least in my case
@@federruchi6147 those are quotes, you are using them wrong.
Sick 2 step part
If you only had one kit, and didn't want to ruin your expensive heads this would be an amazing option. Leave these heads on the kit for practice. They don't sound perfect, but well enough. And then just take them off and put your professional heads on for performances.
That way, you can have nice heads, but they'll be rotated out with the practice heads and you won't need replacing nearly as often so you actually save a mint over time.
this my dream set
Got the same heads off of wish. They’re amazing.
These would be great for cheap spare heads to have on the road just in case. I can see some value in getting a bit more scratch selling a used kit.
Yayyy !!! New content !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS BC IT'S GONNA BE GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!! rdavidr 💯
Edit: I was right! Great editing - best laugh at 5:12 👏 Thank you David
Also the heads are "sold out"
I was in middle school when I had my Ludwig accent combo mic'd up. I probably had cheap Remo heads and maybe found out tape or rings to get muffling out. Even my parents were impressed when they heard how nice attack and boom they had.
The final assessment is valid.......... if you need something to practice on, it's a fine value and can be made to sound ok.
Excellent video as always. You are always a great source of info, but I have to know...were you rushing or were you dragging?
dragging 😒
That snare wrap is the best lol
Hah! I'd bought the 'Lost In Translation' movie on DVD for $2 at a local 2nd-hand store only very recently! 😁 And "Bumblebee Tuna" reminds me of another movie: "Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls" 😄 That snare sounds amazing in the 'Pop' segment! 🤩👍
I like the backing tracks.
$37 eh? I'm curious to see how this is gonna turn out
Love the Opinel #10 testing tool
great content... I'm a key player but my bro and friends are drummers. we all like your vids..
Attack drumheads sells a full set of 1 ply heads for $51. Could be a fun one to test, especially on that sound percussion set you just made the video on.
I would really love if you released a video on how you got your toms sounding sooooo good on 3:25 . I'm sure it took a long time to get that sound but please
(makes a joke about head)
I would say that last track was something of a pop RnB mixture. Two birds with one stone .
I need a full song at 4:56! That was great 👏
Transparent drum head for snare its very old school and sound good !
Here in the Philippines SQOE offers the PDH batter drum head set. It's also good!
Definitely buying some whenever my drummer complains about the heads on the pawn shop drum set.
They sound good
I actually kind of want this now.
Great video! I would say though the POP beat is more R&B than POP.
Started out with doubt then at the end sounded like a advertisement for amazon lol jking
your great drumming make any heads sound good lol
That pop track sounding kinda fire though 👀
good stuff.
Not Fletcher popping up for a second 😂😂😂😂
Drums and knife guy here, shout out to the Opinel. 👍🏻
the tuna can drum is next level
Religiously significant guano, flying mammalman, that fill was amazing.
Ah the perfect video to end the night with a cold one " This sounds like it should be in a totinos pizza roll commercial" had me dead
I don't have great love for pinstripes muffled sound anyways as I prefer coated emperor's but that said this cheap alternative sounds fine to me and I have no problem with buying these heads to use at home but on the rare occasion of studio recording then I am gonna buy a remo pro pack, simple as!
Having a choice is a great thing.
5:12 dragging ! 😂
Hey David, would you ever consider doing a video of DIY vintage yellowing of white drum wraps? I've recently refurbished this vintage Royce kit and half the kit is yellowed which I really like but the other half is not. Trying to figure out a solution.
I’m actually sitting here looking at one as I type this lol. Been on the list for awhile, just gotta do it! Haha
A home depot bucket sounds pretty nice too.
Surprisingly good 👍ngl, kinda surprised
I was pleasantly surprised as well
I really liked the drumless tracks you used, could you link them here?
From where I'm sitting, they sound pretty darn good. But I would probably attribute some of that quality to your mic setup.
