yea it made me ¡This Cheese is Burning Me! a wee bit, smith would take riley any day of the week IMO. Riley is great and is better than ill ever be but damn steve smith really kills it.

[Matt]

i never realized how good Steve's feet were.

[Dave-the-drummer]

yea he is overlooked alot because he played for the ultimate cheese band "journey" haha
His jazzy stuff and tribal stuff rules is sheer brilliance.

Sweeeet find there, J.

I've never seen or heard that kit actually played before. I really dig it.
Very cool sound, especially from the kick/floor.
It sounds absolutely MASSIVE when he accents with it, compared to the others.

That 8" snare just rips. I want one now. haha.

yeah man. I want that 15"x24" kick thingy so badly.
my 10" firecracker sounds very similar to the 8" snare. and
I wonder what the mini hats were composed of. the sounded pretty huge.

[Matt]

that snare does sound sick, and the mini hats do sound quite large.

i'd rather have the DAXDAD then the cocktail kit.

[J.]

what's the DAXDAD?

J that is the coolest thing i have watched in a long time, not the best most amazing thing ever but for sheer coolness 10/10! Cheers J!

[Matt]

the DAXDAD, is a 12"x22" kick drum (12" Diameter) Steve uses one on his side kit.

[Dave-the-drummer]

DAXDAD sounds cool need some pics of it though.

[Matt]

here's a couple pictures.... Here's a video of SJ playing one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bww30yl3Jps

[J.]

ohh well you could have said that.
but what the hell is DAXDAD?

[Matt]

some mysterious Yamahanian term.

[J.]

ohh.
wait yamaha actually makes those? like not just for SJ?

I thought it was two 12" toms put together.

[Taylor.]

That thing is soooo rad.
Smallest kick I've played so far has been the 16x16 on the Manu Katche sig kit, and that thing was fun, but this size seems so much cooler. Very different. I'd love to have one of those.

Here's the brochure on it from Yamaha if you guys are interested.

I think I might contact a dealer soon and get a price. Not that I'm in any position to buy one quite yet, haha, but it'd be good to know.

[Matt]

Yeah, they are cool, I feel like i've seen them priced around 300 bucks, but i could be wrong.

[J.]

ooh thanks for the catalog link!
yeah let us know how much they cost..

I would get one for christmas..

Little mozambique, from Mr Lang and Mr Conte. Some nice stuff.

[Matt]

JJ likes natural wood hoops on natural drums too.

Just as I though when I watched the video, the blue side snare was made by Joe Montineri.... his drums are so ace. Check out who is very first in the gallery.

[J.]

thanks for that video matt! I freaking love that intro. and that snare is awesome. i've seen pictures, but never a video.

[Dave-the-drummer]

That snare is nice really flat and dry sounding with the wires giving a little sizzle, like the vultures snare. Nice.

[Dave-the-drummer]

Actually now that i have turned my speakers up its more of a flat, wet smack that a dry sound. My mistake I still like it though.

Probably my favourite drumming video, and the end of the day its all fun, also some epic fills and jazz grooves in there. Nate Morton FTW!
I laugh everytime i watch it, you can't watch it and not laugh!

[Matt]

some of his facial expressions are hilarious.

I especially like how he'll just stare off for a minute, then BOOM crazy face!
