IT has a great finish i think and comes with extra floor tom. It's a tough choice but which would you go for in terms of sound and quality. Also would anyone know how much i might be able to sell my Roland Hd-1 V-drums lite for?
Thanks for advice! This would be a very difficult decision for me. In my opinion, they're pure junk. If you got the Visions, you can up-grade to a much better mounting system such as Pearl's Optimounts. Concerning the Tama kit, I love Tama products but I'm not too enthused with shallow rack toms. Can I please have a third choice, lol.
PeteN Silver Member. I recently sold my pearl vision VBX's and still own a tama hyperdrive that I use at my band practice space and of the two, I selected to stick with the tama hyperdrive kit for now.
You could save even more money and get the Tama Silverstars and that's what I would buy again if I had to do it over. Pearl reckons that lower frequencies require greater energy to project equally alongside smaller drums, thus the extra plies on the bass drums and floor toms.
The success of the Reference Series , which first incorporated this kind of designated shell thickness according to diameter theory, would indicate that it's largely right. Wooden snare drums often - but not always - feature extra plies in order to increase attack, so the VMX snare is more likely to possess an open, playable nature.
Comparing the VSX and VMX shells side by side, the only discernible difference between them is in the colour of the wood. One really nice touch is that every piece of shell hardware that protrudes inside the shells - such as bolts, washers and brackets - is finished in black.
It's the sort of detail that doesn't register immediately, but, once noted, your eye is drawn to it repeatedly. The bearing edges are cut at 45 degree and are commendably sharp. Assembling the kits, it's obvious that a lot of wood has gone into them. The effect is particularly noticeable with the bass drums and floor toms, where the hefty shell thickness of 10mm is hard to miss. While thicker shells aren't always capable of the same degree of tonal subtlety as thinner shells, they do feel strikingly solid, which can only be a good thing.
Externally, the shells are dressed in what look like identical fittings, but small differences separate the ranges. The bridge-type lugs, modelled on those from the Reference series , are bolted directly to the shells of the VSX drums, while the VMX's enjoy the luxury of a rubber gasket sandwiched between the wood and metal.
VMX drums also fare much better in the bass drum spur and floor tom leg departments - being fitted with Masters-grade examples, as opposed to Reference on the VSX. The Red Sparkle lacquer finish that graces the VMX is of the highest quality and wouldn't look out of place on a kit costing much more.
Alongside it, the Black Sparkle wrap of the VSX kit can't help but look a little subdued, but is equally well finished. Testing two variants of the same kit alongside each other is a rare treat. We assembled the drums into one giant and faintly ludicrous though tame by Mike Portnoy standards kit, divided down the middle into its separate constituents. Putting the two set of drums together like this clearly illustrated the different characteristics of the woods.
Kicking off with the bass drums, the fitted Pearl ProTone clear batter and ebony front heads both included substantial muffle rings. It gave an immediate and punchy response, with a typical birch-like note that carried well. What it lacked in aggression it made up for in sheer depth".
