Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Designed as a "ready-to-play" set, this pack from the Series 800 focuses on the essentials sought by demanding drummers: reliable, stable, and durable hardware. The double base concept naturally positions it for stage and intensive rehearsal use, providing a secure feel under the hands and foot.
Who This Drum Set/Accessory Pack Is For
This pack is aimed at intermediate to professional drummers who want sturdy hardware to withstand frequent adjustments, assembly/disassembly, and energetic playing. It is also well suited for home studio drummers seeking a stable and reproducible setup, particularly useful for maintaining consistent placements (snare, cymbals, hi-hat) from session to session.
Features and Innovations
The main advantage of a complete pack lies in the consistency of response across the different components: identical tightening mechanisms, stability, and adjustment retention. Here, the inclusion of two boom stands facilitates the setup of a versatile cymbal rig (crash, ride, effects), while the FP9500C double-chain bass drum pedal aims for more direct transmission and a controlled feel, ideal for both nuanced playing and strong attacks.
Sound Characteristics
Stable hardware does not add a "sound" per se, but it strongly influences how your kit expresses itself. Rigid and well-anchored stands limit micro-movements: strokes become more consistent, cymbals stay at the correct height, and the snare maintains its angle, all of which improve precision and consistency in playing.
The stability of the hi-hat stand and the response of the bass drum pedal also contribute to dynamics: you gain better control over openings/closings and rebound consistency, resulting in a cleaner feel in grooves as well as fast passages.
