    Yep. Best thing I ever did was convert to my home-made jungle kit (8/13/16). They work for 95% of the gigs we play. Add mic’s and you’re covered for the other 5%. I’ve since gone to a 10/13/18, but...

    Finally captured a few more pics of the Ludwig Centennials. This is a more “colorful” setting from last Saturday night. I helped out our new guitarist with one of his own personal gigs.

    Yep, the tru-pitch are basically fine thread. I have no clue exactly what the thread count is...other than it’s a finer than standard pitch.

    That's awesome. So, do you have to keep one hand up in the air above your head when you play? Do you have to get out from behind the drums after 8 seconds??

    That would fit right in here in Nebraska! Only problem is the audience doesn't get to see it. I've always wondered, what effect (if any) does that color have on the cymbals? Does it show stick marks...

    They're perfect for gigging in small venues and bars. Been using my home-made jungle kit (8/13/16) for the last year. This kit works even better. The 10" Tom has better projection than the 8", plus...
