I still would love to eventually get one with a 26 inch kick and the extra 16x18 floor tom but I am very happy. I also have a video with some crude phone room audio if anyone is interested in checking it out I've the link here
I've never played a five piece in my life. It's like adding .333 to every equation I do in my when when I play.
My next snares to add to my collection will be a 6.5 x 14 Black Beauty and a 6.5 x 14 Supraphonic. I had a 5 x 14 Black Magic that was actually pretty great and I have a LM400 5 x 14. However, 6.5" is my go-to depth. I'm leaning toward the tube lug BNOBrass BB and not the BNOBronze one. Any recommendations? as to which era of BB to buy and which to avoid?
Found some nice vintage hoops and swivel nuts on a parts snare I picked this afternoon. Can’t wait to dial it in behind the kit tomorro!
it sounds rad, gotta get new swivel nuts and hoops are a little bent. Only writing on inside is in black sharpie “BD of NYC ED 1972”. Acrolite 14x6.5
Just acquired from a old friend who rescued it from the trash. cleaned up nicely!
Hey folks, I'm working on restoring this 1976 kit I picked up and can't figure out if this is Mahogany cortex or Walnut Cortex. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Anyone know anything about this model? Can’t find another like it anywhere.
Here’s a couple more pictures of snare
I'm not the first one to tear into these drums so I'm certain they didn't come out of the factory this way but why are these lugs different?
Im in Argentina right now and found this ludwig snare drum for £500. The owner has said its a ludwig jazz festival snare from the 80’s which I just dont know if I trust it.
The inside of the shell is this weird grey material.
Will try get a pic of inside tomorrow
Any help massively appreciated
Hi!
who among us has a Carl Palmer Signature Snare Drum and what batter head have you tried on it that gave really good results?
Hi im on holiday right in argentina and i’ve fallen in love with this snare drum.
He said it was a jazz festival from the 80’s but after some questioning. He seems to think its called a ludwig ‘rocker 1’ as it has the grafinoate inside.
I’ve got it down to £375 including a case. Do we think this is a good deal? I’m kinda worried its just ludwig parts on an old drum and worried.
Thanks in advance!
