all of them sound fantastic, looks amazing, great value….hats off to Yamaha and you guys, thanks very much for this video
The PXH seem to beat sonor SQ2 (heavy) shells at thier own game. The 12mm sq2 shells don’t contribute as much, too brick-like.
Birch is such an underrated wood for drumming. The recording custom’s bass drum sounded thunderous!!!
However overall if I had my choice it would be the hybrid maple. It sounded the most balanced out of all the kits in my opinion.
All are great kits.
Why do I feel the sound of the drums are being influenced by the mics and a mix. Get rid of the individual mics and lose the compression.
Can you guys do one of these for the SONOR stuff?
Those Phoenix kits are just unreal!!! I have a 90’s Yamaha Maple Custom with the gold lugs and I’ll never give it up. But if I ever was it would be for the Phoenix
Thank you so much… I need a stage custom…$$$
Also, can you do a snare video.
I’m a pearl masterdreamworks guy Wich is over the Pearl masterworks and if I was to get a second kit it would have to be the stage coustom in 8×7 10×7 12×7 short stacked rack Tom’s 13×11 14×12 14×14 floor Tom’s 24×16 20 lug vergin Bass drum all outfitted with Yamahas 3 sided professional rack system
maybe I’m crazy but they all sound good and very similar. Cheap drums fall apart on the road with night after night use, bouncing in the truck,but they can sound good with mikes and effects. Expensive drums do last longer and are easier to work with but for me the sound differences here were not major imo. Plus a bad drummer who can’t tune shouldn’t spend $6000 and a great drummer loses tone in a live gig and in studio, damn its the player not the drums. Bonzo got his cheap ludwigs to soar
No YESS III on Recording Custom? You can really hear it needs it.
I find those Sabian HHX Prototypes just amazing !!!
Dang that was super informative! Do more of these videos please!
this video is absolutly amazing.wonderful work. i own a big Yamaha live custom kit, sounds good,loud and super easy to tune but, man the absolute hybrid and Phenix sounds good on your video .bravo again.
I liked yamaha live custom Thanks good video …
All dressed up
Spectacular audio production too.
Very little difference in sounding, definite stage custom should be the best one to go lol.
Yamaha Phx
I was surprised with how good the stage customs sounded, i think it had the best sounding rack toms out of the lot!
Great review!!
Amazing video. Thank you so much!
One of the better comparison drum videos I’ve seen on YouTube. Please do TAMA Drums next!
I‘m not saying these drums are not good. They just don‘t have a signature sound anymore
Seriously, that’s the best drum comparison vid I’ve ever seen. Clearly, it was a ton of work. Thank you so much for doing this with excellence.
I JUS ORDERED A 6 PC..LIVE OAK KIT..THX TO THIS VIDEO…l have a new stage custom..but wanted also a higher end kit….SO THX AGAIN
Thank you so much for posting these videos. So informative. Very helpful.
I love Yamaha drums! They all sound great but I own the recording custom kit same as the one you tested! They are awesome live or studio!! They are my pick!!
great informative vid. I appreciate the comparison at the end.
whats the snare on the hybrid kit please
