DJremaille « € 1000 if thee is a good choice »
Published on 05/22/10 at 07:42I use this drumkit for almost 2 years now. Before I had a Mapex Saturn Pro (1998) but I got rid of. There was nothing to be learned from this farm despite a superb finish and an exorbitant price. After I found a Tama Artstar ES 1995. I always keep it and because for the big sound it any better.
When I joined a training swing acoustic "I started looking for something a little more adapted but not Jazet. Something like maple config 20''10''12''14'', new and ... not ruin me. So I chose the Yamaha Tour Custom. It's simple, to lower the price they put the deck fittings of the Stage Custom. The circles are also the same as the Recording Custom ... The simplicity of fasteners and other chromeries make a drumkit light and robust. Ideal for those who turn much. A caveat for the hooks of the bass drum rods that are not laminated on the inside. Eile are 4 colors: Brown (ugly), Black (classic), Satura White (superb) and Blue Ocean (my choice). The finish is of high quality drums, the color gradient is clear in the middle of the drum and dark outside. The dye is transparent (which does not exist among its competitors: the Sonor Force 3007 and the Gretch Catalina Mapple), which reveals the wood grain. Simply pure class this drumkit.
The sound now! I get what I was looking for in Maple: warmth, roundness, to sustain patient and measured power. Of course, do not expect to have the sound of the Mapple Custom from the same brand, this is not the same price either. But it sounds so much more pro (clean) the Stage Custom, the latter has no reason to be ... The bass drum 20''is full of bass and also behaves well, skin resonance breakthrough or not. The original drum head is very suitable. Toms are balanced, comfortable and show their true potential after changing the skin of origin. The Tour Custom is very versatile drums can be played tense or relaxed depending on the style. It's perfect for jazz, reggae, world music, zouk, soft rock ... well you forget the styles that contain qualifiers trash or metal. We also forget the snare. It is disappointing compared to the rest of the kit looks like a toy. Too little too "flat." Frankly, it's the DC that gives personality to a drumkit, so when a pat on that sound, you must have a CC worthy of the name. Me, I play a Sonor Delite DC (450 €) which is in the closet many CC sold with the kits. A free floating in the Pearl will also taste better. A yes, I forgot ... the tuning is easy and especially it does not move, it's really appreciated.
So now, if you had € 990 is the right choice. If thee € 1,250 you can take the Sonor 3007 which has a DC a little better, or the Gretch Catalina mapple but that does not sound better.
