this is an incredibly informative video... damn

Remember that what anyone says about drums .. High pitch tone outside the bearing edge or drums that are wrapped in a finish changing the sound doesn’t mean that these things are bad they may very well add character to the instrument that you love

Fantastic explanations

Why this doesn’t have more likes is beyond me. Great video

Short, informative, no bullshit, no needless prolonging - perfect

Thanks for the information! Anyway, pointing the board with a drumstick in a traditional grip is the most drummer thing ever 😂

Wow man. Great video, you just bridged the gap of what I’ve been trying to explain when heads aren’t making enough contact. So good thank you.

Hell yeah, finally someone who gets it. its ALL about that outside roundover conforming to the head.

A fantastic explanation of this very important detail.  Well done sir.

Buying my 2nd kirsch kit here soon. Worth the investment!

Great stuff, also loved your long form interview on Drum History. Thanks for all the info.

Now I understand! Thank you.

That sir is the best  explanation of bearing edge I've ever heard, thank you. I've been wondering why modern drums don't sound much like the 70's and earlier drums. The newer drums have  to many weird overtones and no internal mufflers to control sustain.

Bruh...I just learned so much. Very clean explanation. Thank you🙌.

Great! Many thanks!

All this information would be perfect if it would come with a sound comparison, dont you think?

🤘🏻👌👍

Thank you.

I build drums as well i particularly like the double 45 with the apex dead center of the plies like a pencil tip. This edge gives me the most attack and since the apex of the edge sits away from the elbow and under the flat part of the head of the head much like an undersize premier drums shell I get a very resonate and clear tone. I like round overs for achieving a vintage tone but for fast aggressive music like punk or metal the double 45 is where it’s at. I borrowed this edge design from Spaun Custom Drums and have seen it often on SJC and Dark Horse drums. As a punk drummer the sharp double 45 is the best!

Excellent information explained without going over my head. Thank you!
