Hello friends!
Today DHL Express finally brought my Cube custom drum kit! Some of you may have read about this earlier in another thread. Well, it took some time to arrive but now it`s finally there.
As I said earlier, it`s made from German beech wood. It was made by www.cube-drums.de ...great work by Lars who created this beauty.
The specs:
18x14" bass
12x08" tom
14x14" floor tom
14x6.5" snare drum
The drums are oiled with a high-gloss oil and finished with an amber kind of stain. It occurs to be black nickel hardware, tube lugs, 2.3mm rims, RIM floor tom system.
I`ve got two coated Ambassadors on the bass, not dampened (yet). Coated Ambassadors on the toms, clear ones as reso. Controlled sound (which is similar to an Ambassador) on my snare drum and a Remo Ambassador snare as reso.
When I opened the two packages I was simply impressed by the look. I didn`t expect such a beautiful finish, nor so beautiful hardware. I tuned the drums and noticed that it reacts on every little turn I do, the bearing edges are brilliant, flawless. I chose some 45 degree ones, quite sharp. Tomorrow I`ll play a piano trio gig with it, I`m really looking forward to that. We plan to record the gig so hopefully I`ll be able to share some stuff with you!
Again, awesome kit with an awesome sound and feel. Especially that bass drum is something else. Undampened it sounds incredibly open, I love that boooiim kind of sound.
I`ve recorded a little video with my Samsung (not the best image quality this time):
