"I own a 8x10, 8x12, 14x15, 14x16, 18x20, 18x24 Tempus set and I cannot say enough good things about them.
They do not sound like wood drums. They are warm, dry, and punchy with few overtones. That video is a very good representation of their sound, which is that of a well-recorded studio drum, but they achieve this organically out of the box. Can they go high? Yes, actually their tuning range is greater than my Yamaha Oak Customs and my 60's Slingerlands. Can they do jazz? Oh hell yea! If you want the dry, defined jazz sound they can tackle that no problem. I play rock, pop, and play in a few cover bands, and these drums can handle everything I throw at them. They really are fantastic instruments.
They are also the best touring/gigging drums I've owned. They are nearly unbreakable, undamageable, and are totally impervious to temp and humidity changes. I've never had an issue tuning them and heads thick, thin, coated, clear, all sound good on them.
They are versatile and easy on the eyes.
I will say, I'm not the biggest fan of Paul's large coffin-like lugs, but the minis are pretty sweet. I bought mine when he was still offering just shells, so I have tube lugs, which look pretty badass.
Paul is a great guy to do business with and you WILL get what you pay for.
Are they perfect drums? They are perfect for me. "
