I haven't seen the clear Vista-like Tama kit in the past.
Is this basically a road kit or do you use it in other scenarios?
It is.
It's a live kit, definitely. _ _
[A] I wanted to_
I've never [E] had a Vista-like kit, see-through kit.
And I always wanted to try one out.
And I went to see, funnily enough, we were in Vegas, I went to see the Blue Man Group.
And the night I went to see them, the guy that actually [Gb] made all the drums for them [Cm] was there.
And he makes the shells and Tama supply all the hardware.
So it's a kind of_
it's like a Tama-badged _
[D] drum kit.
It's a bit like [A] _ _ _ [Cm]
when you get an engine.
_ [G] You get a_
what is it?
Porsche used to badge a TAG engine, or TAG _ -stamp the Porsche engine back in Formula 1 days.
You get that happening a lot, actually, [A] with engines.
Somebody will build the engine, but somebody will actually badge it.
It's made under license.
It's kind of the same as this.
[G] He makes these shells under license.
_ _ [Cm] It's actually called a Mirage kit.
That's what Tama_
_ [N] _ I did record with it once, but I was [C] extremely disappointed with it.
_ [D] The bass drums were phenomenal.
Absolutely, they were great.
And these, by the way, are standard [N] retro 24 by 14s.
Just like they were in 1973.
It's great.
And they really respond.
The front head [G] responds very quickly.
So it actually makes it sound bigger than a deep bass drum.
This is the way the heads work.
They [Ab] recorded great.
These don't record great.
Mainly because of the lack of sustain [G] and the lack of [E] top end and bottom end.
_ Just because of [Gb] the construction of the shells, [Cm] their sound tends to be reduced in bandwidth.
[E] It doesn't have a lot of attack.
[Eb] It doesn't have a lot of bottom end.
But what you get [B] is very mid-rangey, very compressed and very _ thuddy and [C] useful.
So we [A] tune them up pretty high.
[Eb] And through a PA system, they're incredible.
[E] Every sound engineer I work with live, it's their favorite kit.
_ _ [B] It's a bit weird to play because [Cm] you do have to adapt.
I'm used to the wooden drums.
[A] I'm used to the long sustain of a wooden [Eb] drum.
And the [G] fact that they're a bit more [N] subtle.
_ _ With this drum kit, you have bass drums, you have snare drums, and you have tom-toms.
And that's it.
There's no in-between.
_ _ With the other _ kits, [Cm] the _ Maple Star Classic [Eb] and the Bubinga kit and the Bubinga Maple [Cm] kit, _ _
_ _ [D] there's a bass drum, snare, and tom-toms, but they're much more integrated.
I can make the toms blend [G] in better with the bass drums and the snare drums.
So in a way, it's a more musical kit to play, the wooden kit.
And it feels nicer. _
But there's definitely something that [D] feels good about this.
But you kind [A] of have to play differently because every time you_
I live on the tom-toms.
I do a lot of tom fills.
I have to be a [Cm] little bit more _ aware of every time I play the toms, [D] they really stick out.
So I've [A] got to be careful not to make it all start sounding like a drum solo.
It's still [Ab] music.
_ So there is a bit of adapting to do.
The [G] other bit of adapting to do is [N] generally higher pitched.
_ The wooden drums will be just a little bit lower.
So I generally have to remind myself [D] to go down, [G] play the lower toms a little more
_ [D] because they cut too much. _ _ _
They're in [N] danger of being a bit invasive to the music. _
_ So it's a fine line to tread.
But it's a [G] great kit and it's such a great [A] thing.
And the gongs, [N] these big drums sound fine.
There's nothing wrong with these.
Mainly as you get to the smaller drums, they just don't have the _ _ _ sustain
and the cajones of the wooden drums.
Plus they look fantastic.
They do.
And I have to be careful what I wear now because people can see what I'm wearing through the drum kit.
Days of bottomless performing.
Yes, [E] exactly.
I'll have to be a little more [F] tasty in my clothing and tie.
