BeatIt Vintage Test: 90s Fibes Drum Kit

Young drummer out of Poland, Max Psuja, tests a 90s Fibes drum kit for the drummers' website http://en.beatit.tv/ and http://mw-vintage.pl/ company. http://en.beatit.tv/beatit-vintage-te... 1. Historical overview and product Fibes was an American manufacturer that specialized in drum sets made of acrylic and fiberglass in the 1970s. At the beginning of the 1990s, the company changed ownership and began producing sets made from Jasper maple shells, but after a few years they went out of business. The set tested by us comes from that era. Mateusz Wysocki tell us it was made approximately in the mid 90s from maple plywood. All the accessories were produced in the US specifically for Fibes (non-OEM). The 13″ rack tom and the kick are virgin drums while the finish is Delmar wrap in Turquoise Sparkle. Made in USA. 2. Basic drum kit specification: Manufacturer: Fibes Year of production: Mid 1990s Material: Maple Configuration: 24” x 18” virgin bass drum, 13” x 10” virgin rack tom, 16” x 16” and 18” x 16” floor toms Finish: Delmar wrap Colour: Turquoise Sparkle Rims: Power Hoops 13″ tom ball holder included 3. Test and sound When testing the Fibes drum kit, we also used a Remo snare, Impression cymbals and Aquarian heads (Response 2 Coated on the toms, Texture Coated on the snare and Super Kick I Coated on the bass drum). Max first presented the sound of each of the toms produced by single strokes at different levels of dynamics. Then, he proceeded to do the same with the kick drum to finish off with a rhythm figure using all the kit elements as well as performing a groove. We can safely say these drums are a dream kit for any classic hard rock fan – all John Bonham fans should be in seventh heaven. The sound of the toms is mighty, fat, with lots of air and bottom end. The bass drum (apart from the qualities already mentioned) is characterized by mighty attack and lots of space. The kit as a whole provides exactly what the shell sizes suggest, which are characteristic of hard and heavy in the classic sense of the word. Serious stuff, this kit… 4. Summary The summary will be brief and it comes from our ’lab tester’, Max Psuja: “This Fibes kit gives a huge, majestic sound, which is surprisingly warm and sensitive to different dynamics. These are drums which are the best for rock music, but in the broad meaning of the term.“
