    This is the weirdest drum set Ive EVER seen. Ben, from the Big Fat Five Podcast, found this on his local Craigslist and as soon as I saw them, I knew I needed them. This is an Impact drum, which there isn’t too much info about them on the internet. Everyone, including myself, seems to quote the same forum post from Jon Bermuda, drummer for Weird Al, whenever referencing these drums. Bermuda endorsed Impact drums for about 20 years and is the only one that seems to know anything about them.
    Impact drums have a thin fiberglass shell with a large cutaway and frontal sound hole for maximum projection. These definitely are in the weird drums family and give off north drums and staccato drums vibes, even though they are very different. My kit is a little rough around the edges and could use some work…

    They actually sound better than I was expecting. Could see them being used as some sort of auxiliary percussion part.
    My first thought was "they remind me of the drums a couple of high school marching bands were using back in the 80's". Yeah, they probably ARE the same brand. Probably the same drums as the marching toms, just with different mounting hardware. The heads are pre-tuned. There is very little range of adjustment possible with them. I remember one of the instructors I was working with telling me about the toms at one of his schools. Kid broke a head shortly before they went onto the field. He didn't have any of the pre-tuned heads available so he took a knife and cut out the broken head. Grabbed a regular head and used the old hoop on it. Tuned up the drum and the shell promptly collapsed. Oops.

    If I were a gigging drummer (bars, weddings, etc.), I could be seriously tempted on these just for something that looks unique on stage! I've long maintained that for such purposes, as long as the drummer is adequate, the quality/type/brand of drums/cymbals are almost irrelevant! Your average bar/nightclub patron or wedding/party guest isn't going to really notice the difference, or care. As long as you can keep the beat, and the rest of the band are decent, people should be having a good time!

    Remo PTS Series is the “Pre-Tuned Series”. I actually owned a Remo PTS drum set that had those heads and they did not traditional tuning lugs. The heads were mounted to the shell with a latch because they did not have to be “tuned”. Very low end kit probably marketed as a starter kit.

    Remo PTS is "Pre-Tuned Sound". I had them on my first drum kit back in the early 80's. I literally cut the head out of the rim, then placed a "normal" head under the rim, tightened the hook-style lugs, and was able to tune as desired. Not ideal, but it really worked and it sounded way better with a Pinstripe vs Remo PTS heads. Cool video.

      If these are the same drums I saw some marching bands use in the 80's......... you wouldn't be saying that. For a single drum set, they're probably not bad to get a good sound from. They sounded absolutely horrible on the marching field. Not sure if it was the nature of the drums with their pre-tuned heads or instructors that just didn't know what to do with them. If you had a few tom players, getting all of them to sound the same was a nightmare. Snares only slightly less. Tuned bass drum parts, good luck.

      @@kmabru Man, a collapsed tenor shell would be a nightmare even if you weren’t about to go on! The only time I ever saw anything like that from Pearl was with a set of tenors at a school where I instructed, but it wasn’t Pearl’s fault. They were several seasons old when I got there and the kid or kids who played them before apparently had a nasty habit of hitting the bearing edge too often, which eventually caused a bad delamination and partial collapse. There was no fixing that shell, but it gave me a good reason to push the booster club to invest in a brand new line of Pearls. I did see an Acousticon-shelled Remo tenor spock from The Glassmen (Toledo) completely delaminate and collapse after repeated rain shows back in ‘94-‘95. They were at their truck trying to make it work when an instructor took the drum off and chucked it into the trash. Not even the rim or head were salvageable. When the shell collapsed, it took just about else everything with it.

    Dude! Rad drums! Glad you mentioned North, because they just made me think of them too. Dave King (12 Rods, The Bad Plus, Happy Apple), my favorite drummer, played a North kit the first time I saw him play.

    I played something like this some years ago (I think it was the staccato), it was really fun and it had a HUGE live sound. I would be curious to know how this kit sounds on the drummer side and front viewer side.

    They sound actually surprised me. I had a Pearl kit a few years back that took me hours and hours to tune to sound halfway decent. Went from the original heads to Remo to eventually settle with Evans heads. Kinda like the set, would be a cool set to convert to electronic drums just for the looks of them.

    I was floored when I saw these were made in Wausau, WI. I live there now and never had heard of this brand, which apparently still exists today making drum cases and is only a few blocks away from my house. Thanks for featuring these drums, David! Would love to get my hands on an Impact Marching Snare one day.

    That brings back memories. At the 4:40 mark, you can see McCormick's on the sticker (not a badge, a sticker). McCormick's was founded by Larry McCormick of Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps fame. I worked at McCormick's for a summer in Arlington Heights (suburban Chicago area). I was the grunt in the warehouse that shipped marching band products such as flags, flag poles, as well as drums. I also repaired drums that had been returned. These were made of fiberglass and had almost no rigidity w/o the hoop/head combo. Thanks for posting!

  • @seanmoorey6400

    Totally reminded me of my first kit. Was an impact, same exact style but was white. I remember being beyond confused as to the shape of the shells, and could never find anything as to why they were like that. Love the videos man!

    So, that is only the second set of "Impact" drums that I've ever seen. The first being the kit that I have owned since late 1986. There are quite a few differences between the two sets. First, but not all that important, is my shells have solid black wraps with the same white interior. Now, for the fun stuff....my set consists of 10", 12", 13" and 14" inch rack toms. These toms, however, mount on stands that are specifically made for that purpose, so they do not mount on the bass drum. This allows the user to move the toms to any location that they wish (the down side being that the shape of the toms doesn't work well for left-handed drummers). The bass drum is 22"X18" and stands alone, as it has no mounting holes/hardware for toms at all. The floor tom is 16". The set also came with a 14" X 6 1/2" snare. It sounds good, but I always opted for my Pearl, as I just liked the feel and sound of it just a little better. I did use the Impact snare as a back up if needed. I use "pin stripes" on all of the toms and a "super dot" on either snare. I never experienced the head attached to hoop thing, and don't understand that either. All of my shells came with soft cases, so even after all these years, they still look decent. When I purchased them, my intention was to get another kick and an 18" floor tom, but couldn't afford them at the time. By the time I could, the company as you mentioned, weren't making drums any longer. :( So cool to see another set of Impacts on the planet!

  • @Cancun771
    @Cancun771 Před 2 lety +2

    Here's another idea: As a non-drummer drawn more by the tinkering and home improvement part of your work, I'd appreciate a video where you explained your preference in drum sizes, which you mention every now and then, and where it comes from, going a bit into the general differences and fundamentals made by size. I could search for that elsewhere on youtube but you have that special skill of preparing your thoughts and packaging them neatly in a nutshell so people can understand it, so besides your personal take, it would probably come out better in terms of didactics than from most other creators (with the possible exception of Daniel Glass or Rick Beato.)

  • @terrylovell_video_editor

    My first kit in 1983 was a REMO PTS 5 piece kit. The heads looked the same as what are on this kit. It did have flimsy little wire clasps to hold the head on to the shells and after a year of playing, my parents upgraded me to a Pearl Export 7 piece kit with Japanese Rising Sun wraps. If you ever see those for sale, I would be interested in buying at least one as a memento.
