Update for the Summer 2024 US kit: 15" K dark thin crash - 14 k mini China removed 16" A Custom EFX back up behind the flat ride Kick reso - Ebony Ambassador No other changes

that's crazy you need that big of a kit for a church set.

Oh I definitely don't and have my own other kits that aren't nearly this big. It's just the only place I can keep it setup and practice constantly lol. I don't use nearly all of the kit for worship music

You play this massive kit at church?! Nice!

I prefer the older Japanese made RCs for no other reason than I like the lug design better, and the interior finish on the solid black shells are black instead of dark brown.

They are indeed wonderful. Apparently the new ones sound even better

I thought the high-end models were still made in Japan?

I was wondering if this was happening this year. It’s awesome the band’s social team has noticed. Do you have a source for the Carter Vic Firth Vic Grip sticks? I have looked everywhere for some retail stock and it seems to be unobtainium.

Both Vic sticks are unfortunately discontinued from everything I've seen. Even the DMB store no longer sells them. They're only made for Carter currently

@@aparker507 that’s what I thought. I’ll keep my eyes peeled. I’ve been trying to accumulate a small band gear collection. I found an old stock of his pro-marks within driving distance which was a huge surprise. I’m sure a set will show up out there.

side note, floortom was changed to racktom for the europian tour (pretty sure)

Correct! it's the B rig kit which is a 16x14 rack tom. The A Rig is the 16x15 floor. Cheers!

nice update. Curious.... do you use brand name luglocks or did you find an alternative? I've noticed quite a few of them on the drums..

I use the Gibraltar ones

Fun! Years ago he had another bass drum. What was the deal with that? Maybe used with another half of a double pedal…? (Maybe something like Dave Weckl was doing around the same time…?)

He just had those for different options at the time. It only stayed for I think 1 or 2 tours. Didn't utilize it much

The 14" rack tom is 12" deep, not 10"? And is Carter's 20" bass drum a PHX?

@aparker507

27 күн бұрын

Yes it's a 14x12. He stopped using the PHX kick in 2015. Since 16, he's used the new recording custom. His tech told me he it sounded better than the PHX. Cheers!

@@aparker507 Thanks, Adam, for keeping up to date on this amazing kit! It's great to hear that the new RC 20" is sounding good (perhaps because of the heavier lugs) so the PHX isn't needed. Before the RC redesign, Gadd's signature kit had a maple bass drum probably because the old RC wasn't low enough sounding. Session great Dave Mattacks is a friend of ours, and he has spoken about the challenges of a birch bass drum; birch has a lot of high-end frequencies!

Interesting.

@@aparker507 : That's fantastic!!! One of the proudest gigs I ever did was playing a last-minute gig in a church on a Sunday. I'm an Agnostic Jewish guy from NJ and this gig was in a Gospel church in NJ. I knew none of the songs, had no rehearsal and the organist saw me (I was the only white guy anywhere!!) and just told me to follow him and he'd give me cues. I could tell he was like "really?" But I followed him, locked in with the bass player and got the experience of a lifetime! An elderly woman later told me "You got soul, Mr. White man!!!!" Quite possibly the best complement I have ever received musically!!!! Enjoy!
