What can you recommend for minimizing pores?

So with that I've got the, it sort of came with the code DNA coated heads on it that David put on there on the batter. On the on the actual snare side you've got the code generic, I think it is, it's a 14 by 3

Mapex Mars Driftwood

 The bass drum in particular really is quite thunderous. I love the fact that although these are Remo's UT heads, there's a lot of response there. A very, very clear tone and clean tone which makes for musical playing. You can, thanks to the Sonic Clear heads, you can tune the pitch to exactly where you want it, where it's going to work with the particular piece of music that you're playing or the style of music that you're playing

 This is the Mars Kit and this has been iDrum Magazine. We'll see you next time. Thank you.

 Let's hear it. Right, as we hoped from Mapex, everything that we've had over the past few issues has been of such a high standard and the Mars kit is absolutely no exception. Really enjoyed the way this kit plays. It's very adaptable to the configuration, to the positioning

 The black plated chrome hardware on the HP 6005 pack goes really well obviously. Really fits in with the theme and it's all stable, double-braced and rugged and will get you from A to B without any problems whatsoever. Fantastic. Thank you very much Mapex

Whether you're a beginner or a working pro, this Yamaha Stage Custom Birch 5-piece shell pack gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Complete with a pair of rack toms, a floor tom, snare drum, and bass drum, this Custom Birch pack will imbue your drumming with the same low, fundamental, warm tone that has become a trademark of Yamaha's birch drum designs over the past three decades. Drummers at GearNuts have always been fans of Yamaha's low-mass lugs because of the way that they allow the shells to vibrate, resulting in remarkable tone and sustain. Finished in a beautiful high-gloss lacquer, this Yamaha Stage Custom Birch 5-piece shell pack embodies value, quality, and craftsmanship.

Recently got a Yamaha stage custom birch, and it's perfect. I love the birch sound, and it's so incredibly cheap compared to all other birch options.

<div class="md"><p>O-O</p>
</div>

What drum sets do you guys use?

First off, a 5 piece all birch shell pack for $700 is insane in itself. But the finish - I got pure white - is unbelievable. I couldn’t believe that it’s not a wrap it’s an actual finish, no cheap wrap w some big seam or anything like that.

Blown away by Stage Custom

Nothing cheap about this set except for the price. Top grade fit and finish. Ideal forgigging If you're finicky about the heads ,I replaced the BD batter with a Remo Powerstroke 3 for a more controlled sound. I bought mine new on closeout from Guitar Center for less than the price of a decent snare drum

Amazing for what you can get for under a $1K these dayys

 That's the easy part. Most of my time was spent on the last stage. Tune the batter and resonate head the same trying to keep the overtones intact. You will find 1/8 of a turn or less is required to get the heads tuned the same

 You will hit a noticeable sweet spot where the tom produces overtones (rings longer). Tune the remaining lugs in the same manner. That's the easy part. Most of my time was spent on the last stage

 You will also find 1 lug off will destroy the overtones. You will also find a very small tuning range window if you want the tom's shell to resonate like the others in this set.  If by chance you are looking to purchase this set from Musicians Friend: Beware of the free gift (cymbals) offer that comes with the set. If you buy the set expecting to receive the cymbals with your order, nix that

 The shells resonate well when the batter and resonant heads are tuned the same.  After 3 hours verse 20 min., I have been able to get the 12" tom close to resonating the shell with a nice tone. Roughly, tune the tom

Nice Sound, Good hardware, 12" tom difficult to tune

 However, it would've been a five star, but the drumheads aren't the best. I'm going to have to replace them to get less ringing and more umph from the smaller tom. Also, despite all the bubble wrap, there's a giant gash in the bass drum.

Decent. Needs better heads and packaging.
