DDrum Diablo Death Punx 7-Piece Double Bass Drum Kit
Take no prisoners. Unleash a percussive assault that will leave nothing but stunned silence in your wake. The Diablo Death-Punx drum pkacage is the first built specifically to stand up to the demands for playing speed metal. Two 20 x 22 in. kick drums with lacquered maple hoops, two rack toms with the new SpearHead tom mount, two floor toms for deep, penetrating lows, and the new 7 x 14 in., fifteen-ply snare drum.
Feature:
The on-the-bass drum tom setup looks terrible. I have my toms floated coming off actual stands (all four toms) and they sound better like that as well. I'm only using one bass at the moment and with the stand there in it it's awesome, I'm using that stand for my ride and china.
Quality:
The lacquer has obvious lines where it starts/ends on the drum, and the bass drum lacquer wrinkles when exposed to close up strobe lights, etc. Also the toms can wear away at the lacquer if they are touching.
Value:
I'd rather have bought a Tama 5 piece, just for the solid quality.
Desirability:
Very sexy drum kit when it's set up right. It looks terrible in that photo compared to when its done properly. The stock pedals look pretty lame though.
Sound:
The stock heads are pretty cheap, I replaced them with Evans Genera G2 Coateds, they sound perfect for metal with a set of rings on those skins. If you throw a pillow in the bass drums against the batter skin and put Evans EMAD skina on the basses they sound - AMAZING -
Ease of Use:
Very customizable. There's so many different configurations and its so easy to put them into that configuration. Very playable, because of the beauty of it you can play it all day.
Support:
Haven't needed to. If anything on this kit breaks, it's easy to fix.
Overall:
Probably upgrade next year when I'll be recording more, etc.
