    PDP is objectively better in all respects

    more specifically about the parameters. I have never played them, moreover, I have not seen them live)))

    equipment and material. PDP is made in the same factory as DrumCraft, from good birch with uncut hardwood - and that's great)

    In terms of sound, they are more like DV, because the wood is selected by American craftsmen, while for DrumCraft - by German ones.

    Tama is also good in its own way, but if you want a more confident sound, closer to the professional one that you heard on many recordings, then take a pacific.

    "Uncut hard" - did not understand this moment. Thank you, a worthy answer, judging by the recordings on YouTube, the sound of the PDP is quite universal, melodic ... Silverstar has a sharper, punchy, kick-ass relative to the price, etc.)))

    "uncircumcised" - in the sense that the hard is common for all series, both for semi-pro and pro. For solo use, any proprietary hard-fit. Silverstar sounds a little better than a singing box, they are poor in terms of overtones. I worked in the music trade, a lot of them passed through me - their sound gets boring very quickly, the same superstar is much more interesting, albeit from the same opera. That is, Silverstar is a lightweight superstar. And this PDP is objectively a higher level.

    Only pdp has so-so accessories. How many I have met in practice, what has always been tightened more precisely, has not been delayed. Used by Silverstar. I'm not a fan of Tama - got a gift from a friend. Great tool !!!

    undoubtedly, tama has a chord at a height, and I played on it, I liked it, but I didn’t play it on pdp, unfortunately, but I liked the sound on YouTube more ...

    played the Silverstar. Everything is in order with both sound and hard. Take it you won't regret it

  • kreker

    pdp is better than cheap tama in every way

    PDP is a fart compared to Tama. My opinion.
