Wow, thank you for the very thorough demo of these products. Lv your vibe when you talk. The word “sincere” just keeps popping into my mind when I am listening to you talk. Also you either demonstrated the exact questions I had as they were popping into my head or answered questions I had not thought about yet.
I stayed focused on your content and not your delivery because I felt safe and felt you reaching out to the community to help us practice better.
Bravo! Your success is well deserved because you care.
Right on!!! I bet when you two get together you have a lot of fun. You both are very talented cats, and also explain things very well to us.
I feel blessed to have come across both of your channels. Keep up the great work.
Bro thanks so much for bringing these videos out time and time again, got into KZ IEMs because of you and no doubt products you bring to the channel in the future are gonna help big time. Big Love from Sydney, Australia 👊🏼❤️🎵
Super cool. The market for these must be booming for Evans to put out this set. Ive heard of guys using the cymbals for real small jazz cafe type gigs. Also bet after covid, tons of people got into music, and we're the only ones with out a volume knob. Until now!! Boom. Thanks Rob. Keep it cool man.
Due to your input, my new dB1s arrived today! Looking forward to checking them out! Thanks so much!
Nice ,nice!! I love the sound of the cymbals, so crisp and clean, but low! I dig it also! Would try em myself! Great job, Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the detailed review sir! You've been consistent for a long time; I admire that.
Great stuff here, man!! Evans bringing the FIRE for us drummers not wanting to annoy the neighbors! 😎
absolutely LOVE the fact that you demo'ed them miced up, rather than with triggered samples
Thanks for making this Rob! ive been waiting to hear them and see a review before making the purchase and i think it will be a good addition!
This is the review I've been looking for. A lot of vids out there of (well-meaning) people banging on the heads and cymbals, but you exercise the full range of strokes and effects on each piece, and that's really helpful. I also got a lot from your commentary which did not include a lot of extra and unnecessary hyperbole. Sorry if I'm sounding salty, but I've been watching Evans reviews for days looking for something like this.
Thanks, Rob for a great review! These are pretty cool! I may be looking at some of these for my home studio. You rock!
That snare head tech is some pretty crazy (army) stuff! 😄 Great review, Rob. Excited to try these!
Outstanding vid. Covered all the bases.
Such an amazing player! One of my favorite CZcams drummers/content creators.
These heads sound great! Love your playing too... especially a bit of crazy army on snare... awesome!
When I was apartment living many years ago, these heads from Remo, Moongel or D'Addario were not available. I had to do my quiet practice on a wood set with gum rubber by Ralph C. Pace. I also used to use an elastic cymbal muffle on my left and right side rides. Today we got something for any situation. Although I wouldn't use steel hats or cymbals for anything.
OK, I’m impressed. That’s the best solution that I have seen/heard for this goal. Will check it out. Thanks.
Thanks Rob! Just purchased last week , but haven’t set up yet……sound great!!!
Great review, Rob! Thanks.
Perfect for places where playing drums at a lower volume is good. I like that very much. Cheers, Rob! 👍👍✌️🥁
Great review, this video definitely helped me rule out some other brands I was looking into. I am always partial towards Evans since I use them on my current drum set.
Thanks for all the tips and help to improve my drumer skills sir.
Great review as always!! I'll be real- when I saw what looked like another quiet head and cymbal pack I didn't think it would be anything special, but oh man was I wrong, this is so cool!! The heads seem like they combine a standard mesh head like the Evans SoundOff with the RTom Black Hole pads and EMAD tech (though not removable) to get the ultimate combination of awesome features on one set of quiet drumheads. The snare head is really cool as well, I don't like how many quiet heads take away the body of the snare and response from the wires so this one actually gives us that snare sound. The only question I have for you is how you'd compare these to the Evans SoundOff drumheads in terms of sound and feel.
And as a big fan of thinner cymbals, seeing a cool set of really thin quiet cymbals with good stick definition is really nice. The studio I teach at has a set of L80 cymbals which do the job but feel a bit too heavy for my liking, especially compared to my usual thinner AAX crashes. I was looking into buying the Sabian Quiet Tone cymbals which I know are thinner but I may have to give these a try first.
Wow!,
Thanks for reviewing (and playing these), Rob.
Like yourself I love them hi-hats, I'd be keen to track a set of these down, not sure if they'd be easy to get for someone in New Zealand.
The heads and cymbals sound great. It would be great to hear the heads a/b'ed against the new RTOM low volume heads.
You playing actually sounds crazy good on these (no surprise)! That opening improv with the constant stream of ghost notes was groovy as hell.
Is it weird that I can almost hear these being used as a distinct 'sound' instread of just a quiet alternative to normal cymbals and heads?
There's plenty of room for experimentation with these for sure.
Amazing playing my goodness
Personal preferences aside, I have to say Evans' R&D is outstanding.
I agree. I used to be a staunch Remo guy and my buddy ALWAYS tried to get me to switch to Evans, but I was stuck in my ways. I finally made the switch 3 years ago and I haven't looked back!!!
Very cool! Thanks for the heads up man. Will look into this set for sure! 🥁👍
Heads up…🤦♂️
Man these are sweet. I just wish they made the kick drum in 16" as well. Great review!
These sound so good! This might be the answer (along with a Yamaha EAD10) for my church.
Really cool product, thanks for the video. Would be cool to have a side by side comparison with same gear and mics gains (and room mic aswell) to really compare difference in volume. Maybe also with a db meter? 😜
Glad I came across this. Just ordered the dB1 cymbal set from SW.
Just bought them. I agree 100%. Great stuff. Just doubled my practice time.
Excellent review! Thanks
Great video, Rob...again!
Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 totally getting these!
Love your playing, so cool
Came to hear the db one drumheads, stayed for the playing. Amazing playing man.
Very cool. I was looking at the dw pad set but this looks much better for me
Thanks for the review. I have the Evans "sound off" currently on a practice kit and am very happy with them. Had just seen the cymbals come out and they sound good as well. I have the Zildjian L80's, but only hats and a crash/ride. These dB ones sound as good or better than the L80's (in headphones, anyway).
Thanks this was helpful
I currently bought Remo silent stroke and with an added piece of tape they work and sound good. I'd like to try the Evans snare and bass drum head when they come to Canada in 2024.
I just got these. Really cool so far. A few issues I've had personally with setup: The hihats are much shallower than my other stuff. I have a DW 3000 hihat stand and a Tama touch drop clutch. I had to put a thicker foam under the bottom hihat because the bottom of Tama's quick release mechanism was hitting the top of the plastic cymbal protector piece on the stem, preventing me from being able to fully close them. Also, if you have a ported bass drum reso head, you're probably going to want to change that out too because with it on, you get a pretty dead sounding bass. Tuning is a little finicky. You have to get the tom reso heads really in sync with the batters or you won't get anything from them. The floor tom is proving hardest to get right, but I also have a cheap $400 Ludwig kit. Overall, this set is really impressive. But there needs to be more tuning guidance than just a one sided pamphlet for people who are newer to drumming. Just be warned, this isn't something you're going to slap together if you decide you just want to play for a half hour at 1 in the morning. If you're GOOD, you can probably get it all changed out in a half hour.
Ordered the heads from your link, thanks!
Your playing never fails to impress.
Always excellent info with a smile or two thrown in for good measure (pun intended).
Great review 👏 thanks
I love your style. Awesome!
i love the sound of low volume drum kit sets 🥁😎💯🤘♥️
Love the comments from the drummers not wanting to annoy their neighbors. Truly believable_4_ reals. 🤘
Got the db zero yesterday and I love it so far. It doesn't have the snare sound but it works for my apt. I can still do sticking excercises and not worry about my neighbors.
I do plan add a trigger to it soon.
I'm really curious about adding triggers to the cymbals as well. Making real feal e kit
Love that bright Ride sound/tone !
Very cool dude. Well demonstrated.
When you look at the Remo versions that are JUST mesh, they move no air in the shell. If no air is being moved, the reso head isn't resonating and you get no tone. Early adopters of "silent kits" were learning that putting some tape on the heads was allowing the reso head to resonate and thus produce some tone. Then folks started experimenting with different types of mesh heads from electric kits and were finding that 2 or 3 ply heads could produce tone. I had went with a very thick and tighter woven mesh head from GoEdrum in conjunction with the low volume Zildjian cymbals (14" hats, 16+18" crashes, 20" ride, 18" china). Part of the things that make these Evans heads sound as good as they do is the patch and the foam pushing air and allowing the reso head to produce tone!
I'll definitely be picking some of these up to compare and most likely mix and match the best sounding for each head and cymbal.
I bought a set of these after seeing this demo and I love them! Really nice.
@@Calz70 they are a little springy but less so than the Remo mesh heads that I had before. I think the tone is way better as well. I also prefer the cymbals to my low volume Zildjians and the set came with TWO crashes, which was nice, and also a cymbal bag.
Ordered mine today, heads and cymbals!!
these look really cool, nice groove man
NICE groovin in the beginning!!
Perfect timing brother. I play an E-Kit and don’t like the feel of the cymbals. I have been looking for low volume gear.
Rob i always enjoy the topics and products you showcase, great job my friend.
Very cool. Thanks. I’m new to drums and I live in an apartment. It’s nice to see other options to electric, though it’s pricey.
I just ordered a set of heads and can't wait for them to arrive. I live in an apartment and hope this will allow for more practice time. Thanks for the demo
Did these help? Or still too loud?
Great video! These look very promising. I just moved back into a townhouse from a regular house and I’m still learning kit. I have the Evans Soundoff mesh heads and they work well. I’m now thinking about getting these new heads and using the Soundoffs as resonate heads. Those cymbals sound really nice too. How loud would you say they are compared to standard cymbals?
Smooth groove! 👍🏾
Enjoyed your opening solo.
I used the same method in 2003 in making my Shelter CD. Used the mesh heads with D-Drum triggers into a MIDI sample pack. Then overhead mics for the live cymbals. It worked great. The cymbals are a new twist.
Shelter? Like HC band Shelter? Ray Capp
i
@@williamperri3437 No it was on the "Shelter CD by myself Shawn Cole. iTunes ETC
That sound is flabbergasting impressive
Great review Rob, as always thank you for keeping it real 👍🏻 I’m curious how these heads and cymbals would work if I wanted to use my Yamaha EAD 10? Maybe adjusting the sensitivity on the EAD would work? Just curious.
Love your style!
Nice Seve Gadd stuff done there on the snare I notice, .....muy bueno!!!!
VERY nice, ESPECIALLY the playing!!!!! I can see (hear) a few real applications for these; (1) practice kit at home, (2) warm up kit at church and (3) performance (miced possibly) in smaller venues. The cymbals sound especially nice in my opinion!
Yep was nodding all alone for the less hole engineering on the hi-hat. Well thought out.
Hi, thanks so much for always providing such good content for us drummers to review, was wondering in your honest opinion how is this compared to the RTOM?
Great videos Rob, been working on some of your beginner exercises. I've been attempting to learn on an old Yamaha DTX and not a big fan of the feel. Wondering if this is a better alternative for my acoustic kit. Since nobody let's me play the acoustic due to the volume.
That second Tom had a nice boing sound to it with those heads.
These look great. I've only been playing a year and by six months, I started getting some ear ringing off and on. This is despite using Shure SE215s and the VF SIH1, so I guess I'm unlucky. But if I can mitigate that, and play through a wider part of the day without annoying or waking up the family, this looks great.
I'm a church drummer and we are really trying to reduce the drum volume. We've been looking for solutions everywhere and these seem pretty promising. I'm assuming the reduced volume would mean we could actually EQ them and mix them into our space. Which would be especially helpful since we also stream each service. My only real concern is the snare since I tend to do a lot of edge of the head shots for certain songs. What are your thoughts on that? Or, would there be a way to use a traditional snare head but muffle it to get a similar volume? Great review, thanks!
Evans ingenuity with drum head design is really a cut above the rest 👌
I use rtom blackholes on my kit. Works for me. Just pop them off when noise is required.
Great review 🤩
I am a drum instructor at the School Of Rock and I wonder if these drum heads can handle a lot of the hard hitting from beginner to intermediate drummers?? I have about 10-14 students of all ages in a weekly basis….
Durability compared to standard drum head??
Either way it was a great presentation thank you for sharing new products it was very informal and educational, thank you again and I look forward to more awesome DRUM videos!
Considering you are set up to record your drums go ahead and record the low volume set. And then import them into something likeSD3 tracker or equivalent. No triggers needed for tracking at least. You will probably have to add cymbal chokes but it dose a great job on the high hats etc. going to order some of those. Nice review. Thanks
Thanks for this review Rob. It would have been nice to hear a backbeat with rim - that's where the usual volume and timbre comes from. I was hoping to record using these heads, but no go - just a 'quiet' practising aid...
Awesome! Drummers please use these all the time. ;)
wow i didnt know this even exist!!!!! its awesome
I had a set of these back in the day when they were called Just Play Quieter 😉
Bought the cymbals... Love em. Bought the snare head... Love it. Cheaped out on the kick and toms to save money and got Tama silent mesh.... Hate em. 😅
About to complete the set with all Evans DB's. Absolutely brilliant. 👍👍👍
crazy armour. i love that melody :)
Don't get me wrong bruh... I love evans heads, they are currently on my entire GIGANTIC set of drums!! About a year before my dear friend AJ Pero ( Twisted Sister/Adrenaline Mob ) passed away, he said... "B-man... you're still playing those Aquarian heads...!!????!!" I replied, "why hell yeah Ant, no more endorsements for me... so, I am still playing the last of my Aquarian's!!" AJ said ... "Dude, Evans, which is really D'Addario now, has entire new line of heads... soup to nuts, I'll send ya a crapload of them, tell me what you think!!" He did, and that was the..... last time I heard his voice.... 😧 .... !!! We did text while he was out on tour with A.M., but..... well, it's not the same!!!
Sooooooo, I am a believer of Evans and D'Addario & Pro Mark hickory, perhaps I'll be able to eventually afford that setup... BUT BROTHA... WHAT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IS........ 🤔 WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE PUMAS....😳😲?!!? THEY ARE SOOOOOO LIT!!!! I GOTTA GET THOSE FIRST!!!!! 😆😜🤭🤫
ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER DRUMMER!!!!!!!!!!
PEACE!!!!!!!!!!🤘🏼
Right on love it Rob .🇨🇦👍
Came for the heads, stayed for the play.
Nice video🥁
those low volume cymbals are the best I've heard yet
Rob great review. You sold me on the rtoms. Like them because you can keep the mylar heads on . Only issue i dont like is the rims on the Rtom is a bit high.
So which do you prefer now, the RTOM or the evans db1s?
Its really interesting to me, especially when you dont have a room where you bother your neighbours and other people. Plus it sounds really good and it seems that you have the same feel like with normal heads (rebound, ghost notes etc.) But how often do you have to change the heads? Is the durabilty like on the regular ones?
Thanks for the video.
Nice tip of the hat to Steve Gadd. Smooth.
hey Rob you're about one cool ass dude do you know that I really enjoy your programming man you're a great drummer you're funny that matters I don't know why but it does and that drum set of yours is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life keep on rocking Mr beat down Brown sure do enjoy your program and God bless you everything you do have a good one sir
Maaan I'm calling my sweetwater rep this week. 😮😮😮😮
Great preview! I have a very specific question about the sound of the cymbals compared to the low volume zildians, where the attack sound of the stick is so loud that the cymbal sound is lost in the mix. Are the Evans cymbals better balanced; do they have a more musical sound than the L80’s?
