Value For Money : Excellent
- How long have you use it?
For about ten years ... At the time, she was made to order ... It took the kick to wait for almost 9 months. Fortunately, the shop where I had ordered lent me a bass drum during the waiting period. I had bought at the time a config 8/10/12/14/16 22 + GC and CC Birch 14 / 6.5, all in his famous Cherry wood color ... I use an alternate DC Tama Starclassic 14 / 5.5 birch, or Mapex piccolo, according to the music I play.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
Plus: The sound, of course! Its ease of playing, too. This drumkit is the "Range Rover" batteries ... Comfortable as a limousine, but mat. You can do everything with a recording, provided appropriate to put the skins. In addition, this tool is super easy to give, and is a real treat for a soundman ... hence the name. Another plus: the accessories. Adjusting the position of the toms: what is the best!


- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes, I used various models of lower range, and had for ten years a Performer SONOR (beech drumkit) that I bought in Germany at a special rate (for this type of gear) ... The Sonor, when it sounds, it sounds great! But it sounds, you have to play the key setting as soon as you move the drumkit! Balance in an empty room: Should give! We come back 3 hours later the room is full, heating or ventilation have been set, and presto, you must retune ... It is super sensitive (perhaps specific to this model beech?). The Recording with, none of that: it provides "for the form," and it does not move! This is also especially this side "comfort and" I changed my SONOR for Yamaha Recording.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
What can I say? Matos high-end high-end price ... It was worth the money and we can not be disappointed, the question arises ... even with the added bonus: the legendary sound of the Recording, and this painted finish that has not moved after 10 years of use. It is true that today there are entry-level batteries ringing hell for less than 1000 euros ... you can enjoy the play, but when it comes to rassoir behind the Recording, including no photo! This drumkit is a separate instrument, a mixture of class, aesthetics, ergonomics, its drumkit ... The Steve Gadd, whose engineers at Yamaha were able to listen to advice and complaints to offer this model Here more than 30 years ... and since there are countless artists who have used it, let alone albums recorded with her.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, of course ... But to be honest, I find it difficult to choose today between a Recording (birch) and Maple Custom, which I find the sound, there also downright stunning. Bubget with, I think I would have both.
