Hi! It’s Brent Fitz here. We’re in Poland at the Atlas Arena. It’s Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. We’re on the ’Living the Dream’ tour and let’s have a little look at the drum kit.
DW drums. My favorite is always maple shells. This is a 13”, 16”, 18” Black Lacquer DW Maple kit. The bearing edges that I had done by them a little softer so the kit has a sort of warm sound, tunes really nice and more mellow as far as some of the overtones. I’m using clear Emperor heads on the kit. The kick drum is a 26” x 16” with the new Steve Smith Black Dot head - a Power Stroke with a black dot, so it’s kind of a new thing.
The snare drum. I’m into steel snares on this kit. I have two kits on tour with me right now: a Stainless Steel DW kit on my other rig. This is the European rig right now. I use good old steel snares on tour. It’s a 14” x 6.5”. I think on my other tour I was using a Nickle-Over-Steel or something. These are just good workhorse touring snare drums.
I’m using a DW extended footboard kick pedal and hi hat ’cause I have bog feet. It’s really great that they’ve come up with an extra inch longer pedals. They’re great for guys with larger feet. On the hi hat as well. It’s all DW 9000 series hardware. I like straight stands for the crashes - old school. Maybe for the ride, I will use the extended arm. Everything’s pretty classic and old school - one up, two down.
Cymbals. Wanna talk about Sabians? I’m Canadian. Sabian’s factory is in my country. I’ve been playing them since 1981, so I’ve always played them and I love them. Recently, I’ve gotten into the HHX series. I’m using the Legacy ride and the HHX hi hats. These sound great. The bottom hat has the ridges in it, so they’re both crispier for live. I was using the X-cellerator hats and these are actually a little mellower and they fit a little better for what we’re doing right now. AAX series for crashes. I like big, explosive, not really thick crash cymbals. I don’t hit them too hard so I’m never breaking a ton of cymbals. I like thinner cymbals and I like them big, so it’s three 20” crashes and a 19”. This is an Iso Crash. It’s kind of a special cymbal. A few years ago, they put it on the Vault tour and I just loved it. I’m still using them. They have holes in them. I don’t know if that’s a regularly available cymbal. It’s still one of my favorites and I love it for crashing. It’s fuckin’ great! Excuse me. This is a raw bell crash. Sometimes I change them - a Stage Crash or a Raw Bell Crash. These are X-plosion crashes. This is the go-to. Anyone who needs a good rock crash cymbal to add to their kit, a 19” or 20” X-plosion is killer. I love that cymbal, I’ve had them for years and that’s always my go-to. So that’s my favorite Sabian cymbal right there. That’s a 19” X-treme china and that’s basically the gist. The ride is a 22” Legacy.
The sticks are from Vater. I’m so in love with these. These are the Vater MV10. They’re 2B. I’ve played 2Bs my whole life but this MV10 is just a little bit thinner than 2B and it’s three quarters of an inch longer. I just love these Vaters because they’re a little bit smaller than 2Bs and they feel real fast around the kit. MV10 is a marching stick. - Hudba
I like that he's not super comfortable talking to the camera. It's almost like he's a real person.
I used to hang out with him back in the early 2010s. Real funny dude.
He is a real person. Really
So true!!!! I was thinking that.
His absolute favorite is the "maple shells" drum kit lol
Canadian to the core or what?
Best rock drummer out there right now!!! I had the extrem honor of meeting him and he is a great, nice, TALL guy who reacted great when I almost had a heart attack because I met him and frank on my way home from school.....
Best guys ever in this band
Brent you are the best!
Love your work!
Beautiful kit
Thanks Brent, best of luck on tour!
Thanks Brent for the kit info vid.nice classic set up .clean.dw and vater!
Really interesting choice on the bearing edges and snare thing.
This guy is super solid. Amazing drummer live.
Nice! Love that batter head on the kick drum!
Brent Fitz Rocks one of the best drummers in the industry!!!
My mom is friends with him. They use to be a friend group.
Love love love snapes new career
thanks for this
Brent you are the best 👏
Porter and Davies saddle awesome!!!
Sorry but this reminds me of when the teacher used to call me up to do presentations. So many UHH’s and trying to explain stuff that I had a really good explanation for but threw it out the window because I was nervous. Love Brent though!😂
Cool guy great power drummer
When did Severus Snape go from teaching magic to play drums?!! Jajajaja
He seems so down to earth
I understand that if you weave a #2 philips screwdriver between the guitar strings it has a similar effect as that snare muffler.
I was hoping he would play the kit
Seems like a rad dude
Fajny, treściwy film. Dobra robota ;)
Dzięki. Śledźcie nas jeszcze, bo to nie koniec ;)
Nice kit Brett, just wondering what mic's you are using
Could never deal with a snare sound like that
Me either. Sounds like garbage. Not sure if it’s the camera and audio quality or the tuning job though.
I use a 6x14 Maple Pork Pie snare and I tune it up pretty high. The snare sound in this video seems to be a more medium ( I would not call it low) but it does not sound bad to me. What don’t you like about the tone? The tone would be cool for some songs or even to have second snare drum.
I don't believe in muffling. There's no point tuning your snare if you're going to throw a cover on it.
@@rctubs3593 the mic on the camera will be pretty poor at picking up the drums. Considering the artist he's playing for, I'm certain his drum tech will tune the drums with feedback from the sound tech to ensure it sounds good FOH rather than behind the kit. Sounds pretty bad in this clip but I would bet that it sounds good to the audience when they are playing.
That's fine to each his own. It's just a sound and feel I wouldn't want. I come from the Bonham, Paice school of tuning.
Anyone gonna comment about the audio quality???
seems like a nice guy
It was cool....
nice set up. was hoping he'd roll around the kit a few times....
I use that big fat snare head too. It has changed the sound of my snare drums
From my hometown city of Winnipeg MB Canada.
Brent, its called a "boom stand" LOL!
Nice Kit Bent, But you still killed dumbledore
Which drumhead do you use on the snare?
I met him when I was 7.
His name on his shoe
Which tune do you use?
I met this dude and played his drums
Jay Dude do you pleasure yourself over that?
@@beetlejews nah
He looks a bit like mike mangini
Ranuwdrums like a gayer fatter version
I know! I was just thinking that
Crack 🤘
You have a 13+minute introduction to your kit. But I can't find your 30+ minutes solos. Your thoughts?
Cause he’s a great song drummer and not a wanker?
MORE COWBELL GODAMMIT!!!
snape is that you?
What is that background noise?🤨
sounds like people rigging the show (hanging chain motors)
DW snare,puts a big fat snare ruins it
That fat snare muffle doesn't have much of a stick rebound. Like hitting a pillow.
Uhhhh umm
What?
Never heard of him
You obviously never played Zildjian then....it would be impossible to like Sabian more
No it's possible, they sure sound better
Sabian is way better. Zildjian cymbals are either way too bright or completely dark sounding in my opinion but you like what you like
@@vernonbowers4355 - Mine sound as good as it gets and they are 15-20 years old. Sabian sound like your hitting pots and pans so.....yeah
Crazy Joe Davola lol sure they do
@@vernonbowers4355 - Ooooo k, must have just been mysteriously all the ones I've played that sound like they're made of tin 🙄
he's been listening to too many soundmen.........a moongel is fine...then why buy a snare so expensive...and take away tone.......
Maybe think about playing the drums. Or maybe hitting them once or twice to see how they sound. That was a lot of wasted babbeling. I could not have said it any better.
He is a good drummer but ffs a big fat snare drum by evens no its such a cheats way of geting the snare to sound good
You actually have to have the drum tuned well for the BFSS sound good on your drum, if any of my time at Guitar Center taught me anything about them. It is just a tool used to get a specific sound. I love mine.
@@DeadtreeFilms1 Exactly! You can never get a horribly tuned snare sound good. You just need to tune it well, plus this is music and not sports, there is no such thing as cheating!
Play the T F D STOP TALKING!
Snare no good, kick sound not good either....sounds lime shit. Oh well...to each his own✌🏽
Total!y destroyed the snare sound
