Thanks so much for having me! That kit sounds GORGEOUS 😍

[@totigerus]

The kit looks and sound great. The guitars were cool and reminded me of Incubus. The snare gave me a semi chub.

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! Understandable - the snare is chub worthy

[@elireardon]

Saying my guitars remind you of incubus is giving me wayyy too much ego bahahaha. Thank you!

[@atomicsun72]

[@EliGreenDrums]

Pretty sick mix. Wonder who did it

[@lrizo3841]

Bro, I'm listening and watching this on my JBL surround sound, and this drum kit sounds amazing, and I mean everything & that snare is superb.. you made a good choice

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it

[@lawrencepatrick5760]

🤘

[@nickbutler4809]

They are beaut. Those dream cymbals are sounding sick as well - do you rate them? That snare as well omg

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! I’ve been an artist with Dream for like a decade now, so yeah, I rate them! Haha. They’re awesome cymbals. Huge range, amazing sound quality and better priced than most other companies. Big fan of

[@thepluggy1]

Dude, that's a killer kit. I love the style of the pinstripe too. How about Betsy for the kit name? 😂 that snare is sweet too. I was thinking while watching, "what the hell is that snare" it's very nice. Congrats 🤘😎🤘

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thank you bro! Betsy is a good suggestion! I’ll keep that one in mind!

[@caleb_stephen]

Congrats bruv. Glad you posted this as well because finding technical C&C info content can be tough.
Oddly specific question, have you had opportunities to play on 12th & Vine kits? And if so, what made you go Gladstone over 12th & Vine?

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! I agree, there’s not a tonne of specific info videos out there. I’ve used the 12th and Vine a couple of times. They’re a little more mellow than the Gladstone, which are a little more straight up rock and roll. But both very versatile and great sounding kits. The maple 6+6’s are also awesome in this sort of vein.

[@GatoPaint]

nice sounding kit ! question ! what do u use to keep the clear heads clean ?

[@EliGreenDrums]

They’re fairly new, that’s the easiest way 😂 otherwise a gentle rub with a microfibre and some gentle surface spray gets any dust and crud off

[@marcusfinchum6322]

This kit sounds great and definitely fits the sound you were going for. The black and white makes me think tuxedo but like a bad ass tuxedo.... So call it Bruce Wayne.

[@EliGreenDrums]

Yo it is like a tuxedo! Great spot! Thanks mate

[@kioshi64]

Kit looks and sounds amazing but that snare was the star of the show! Can you share some info on it?

[@EliGreenDrums]

It’s a 14x7 3mm oversized cast bronze snare made by Cusworth Drums. Declan White who mixed the audio here is the guy who built it. HIGHLY recommend if you’re after that iconic Tama bell bass sound.

[@DSharon3]

Did I somehow miss you saying what snare drums (main & aux.) you used? Is the main snare a Dunnett, Paiste, or Zildjian?

[@EliGreenDrums]

Cusworth drums 3mm Bell Bronze! And the side snare is a 12” Sonor Beech

[@DSharon3]

Thank you! Great sounding drums!

[@scottapthorpe6172]

Sounds great... agree with you on lacquer v wrap finish....I see so many beautiful lacquer kits, but to me there like fine furniture, very fragile...a beaten up lacquer finish kit to me doesn’t look great....

[@EliGreenDrums]

I love a nice clean grain finish but I agree, when they get dinged up it’s so brutal.

[@uglypineapple03]

Ayo sounds killer.
Little question though, what's that China? Has a really sharp bite to it, that I very enjoy

[@EliGreenDrums]

Thanks mate! It’s a 20” Dream Lion China! The 18 is even more bitey, the 20 is a bit softer on the attack but I love huge cymbals 😅

[@moonodude17]

I'm liking "Phantom" or "Royce" (a lil' h/t to Rolls Royce)

[@EliGreenDrums]

Simple and effective Royce ain’t bad!
