Pearl Midtown Drum Set 4-Pc Shell Pack-Pure White (MDT764P/C33)

Product Information

The shells are all 6-ply of 7.5 mm poplar. They have a standard 45-degree inner, and a little smoothed over 45 degrees put outside bearing edges. This is a feature you can get from a more expensive product. Birch, maple, and mahogany are the most common wood types used in drum construction for higher-quality and higher-priced drum kits. You can get jazz drum kits at various price points. The more money you spend, the better the build quality will be, along with superior tone quality.

The birch plies provide the drums with a punchy and focused tone while the mahogany plies smooth the tones out with some added warmth. The drums sound outstanding across all different tuning ranges. For such a small drum set, it’s pretty unbelievable how fat and punchy these drums sound. They sound gorgeous under microphones and this makes them ideal for both on stage and in the studio.The rods on the Midtown rotate smoothly as silk. This is a feature you will find only in some intermediate and pro-level kits. These rods often have slight ‘grinding’ when tuned on entry-level drum kits. This makes Pearl Midtown even more admirable. I was not expecting that at this price range. The DW Design Series Mini-Pro drum set is a professional standard mini drum set that delivers incredible tones and serious playability. I have been using Pearl drums for quite some time now, and I know what they stand for. When it comes to quality products, not one can deny this company has so much to offer.

Some might not look at the instructions but at the price level there may be quite a few first time drum kit owners. These will surely appreciate saving the time of trial and error otherwise necessary before it all comes together. Bass Riser, Claw Hooks & Hoop Cut-away Gretsch’s Brooklyn line of drums is a reference to the original USA factory, and gives a clue to the types of players these kits are aimed at. But the Brooklyn Micro is by no means just for jazz. This is another upper-end kit, despite its scaled-down sizes and, as with the rest of the Brooklyn series, it has some premium features. This compact kit looks and sounds fantastic, with a real old school charm thanks to its distinctive sizes, vintage-inspired hardware, and particularly eye-catching finishes with matching wood bass drum hoops.These drums deliver premium, vintage sounds thanks to the 7-ply mahogany shells that come equipped with 30-degree bearing edges. This drum set pays homage to the classic Gretsch sound and blends classic configurations with contemporary modern hardware innovations. Cheaper compact drum kits are either made from hardwood or poplar. These are inexpensive woods to use, and the drums made with them aren’t as musically responsive as higher-quality woods. This is one of the best sounding and most affordable compact kits I’ve tried. The mahogany shells are superb, so I found this kit offers plenty of value. Setup and assembly takes a mere 15 minutes from emptying the contents of the boxes. The resulting little bop kit gives a remarkably positive impression. Oooohs, Aahs and big grins all around from the three of us. Sonor’s Jungle kits set the quintessential blueprint for a lot of micro/compact setups in the ‘90s. Taking aim squarely at the growing trend for drummers wanting to emulate the higher-pitched sampled sounds heard in drum’n’bass and hip-hop, the Jungle’s popularity became something of a catch-all eponym for kits of this size. Fast forward to today, though, and the configuration is called ‘Safari’ and is available as part of Sonor’s AQ2 series.
