    Default Behind my PDP and Pork Pie kits

    So I finally got around to recording a quick video of my two main kits I play out on.

    Here's my PDP X7 with the newly added 8" tom placement

    Here is my Pork Pie



    Once I put my Yamaha back together I'll take a quick video tour of that monster.

    Zack your drums sound great man. You are quite the skilled drummer and love the way you describe your kits in detail and the sound of those drums are incredible. Thanks for sharing man

    Cool drum video tour Zack. Have you considered swapping out the chrome GTS type mount on the PP to R.I.M.S aluminum tom holders? From what I read, chrome has a negative affect on tonal resonance due to its hardening process and it tends to "choke" out any natural tones from the shell. I have a Gretsch USA Custom that uses a similar tom holder design and the GTS tom holders are chrome plated. R.I.M.S has totally re-vamped their tom holders and now uses an aluminum alloy which is lighter (less dense) than chrome plated steel and the comparison between both types of mounts was astonishing. I thought it might of been another marketing attempt to push a new product from Gauger Percussions (R.I.M.S.) but now that I heard the difference, my next big upgrade for the Gretsch will be to replace both GTS mounts with the R.I.M.S. aluminum alloy tom holders. I've seen several members on Drumchat (dangermoney being one) that use the newer aluminum tom holders and hopefully they can chime in.



    What was also impressive was the sliding (moveable) lug holder for each R.I.M.S. mount and with 2 mounting points at 180 degrees from each other. Gauger claims it relieves a lot of tension on the shell and this allows the shells to resonate more if the center of gravity is divided in half.

    Very interesting I had no idea.... I'll have to look into this more.
    But I'm pretty happy on how much my PorkPie kit shines bright especially compared to my PDP.
    But I have different heads/tuning and dampening.
