I made the switch to Yamaha! This is a long, in-depth discussion on why I switched and how these drums stack up against everything else I’ve played!

Hey Louie, great video! Always something to learn with you. I wanted to mention your experience with the sitting position behind drums. I solved the problem for myself by building my own hybrid bass drum pedal, it’s like the right half that horrible Offset Pedal but using an expensive! lefty Pearl Demon pedal. I reconfigured this pedal to only use the right foot pedal. The bass drum now sits directly in front of the snare and the recorded playback of the kick and snare is centered in the overheads. First floor tom is much closer to the second rack and so on…and, well, you know about my 0.8 mm shell, 24″ x 24″ bass drum I made. Cheers!
Yes…I tried that kind of thing a couple of times but never liked the feel of the main pedal not directly connected to hitting the drum!
