    New additions to 70s Ludwig Kit

    I've been piecing together a 70s Ludwig kit around a 1976 white cortex 20" floor tom that I've had for over 40 years. Once I had it restored, I couldn't part with it so I started looking for...

    Re: Underrated/overrated manufacturers

    I agree on DW, specifically the Collectors line. The fact that they're hand-made, custom to order with rare exotic woods may justify the price, but it doesn't necessarily mean they sound good. A...

    Re: Visiting Nashville and need advice.

    I went to Nashville last May and stayed within walking distance of Broadway. There's live music in numerous venues starting at around 11AM and continuing all day and night. Even the Taco bell has a...

    Re: My TD-27 kit

    Took out the new rig for 2 gigs this past weekend. A bar gig and my HS reunion. Sounded great in both cases, though some EQing was necessary at the bar. At the HS, we were set up in a hall with...

    My TD-27 kit

    I started assembling a Roland ekit from the PD-85 pads I was using as external triggers to my SPD-SX. I added a PD-125, KD-9 kick trigger, VH-10 hats and a couple of CY-8 cymbals. For a while I was...

    Taylor Hawkins

    This one hit me particularly hard. I love the Foo Fighters, especially Dave and Taylor. I've read Dave's book(and his Mom's), watched numerous interviews and concert videos with The Foos, Dave and...

    Re: Another piece to the puzzle!

    Played my first gig with this kit. My friend did a restoration of the Supra while I waited the night before so I'd have it. Kit sounded huge and was so fun to play.

    Re: PDP 700 / 800 Hardware

    The heaviest thing I have put on a stand is a 20" ride. It's very stable, tho I might be hesitant to use it outdoors on a windy day.

    Re: Another piece to the puzzle!

    Got a Supra! Found a '72 on *bay. It's in rough shape now, but all parts are there except the wires, which I have replacements for already. Looks like the throw might have been replaced at some...

    Re: PDP 700 / 800 Hardware

    I have a set of Crosstowns, 3 cymbal stands, a hi hat and snare stand. I've only gigged once with them so far, but I am impressed with their light weight and stability. I wouldn't hang a rack tom...

    Re: Another piece to the puzzle!

    I used to use hydraulics back in the early 80's, and I had one on that floor tom which I added to my Slingerland kit that I gigged with back then. I did take the bottom head off the ludwig then and...

    Re: Another piece to the puzzle!

    Got the rack and kick back from my buddy who cut the edges for me. Reassembled them, put new heads on and here she is! Still dialing in the tuning but what a sexy beast!

    Re: Another piece to the puzzle!

    A 16x16 would be the logical choice, but I've had the 20x18 for 40 years. I had it restored with the thought of selling it, but it came out so well, I decided to keep it and build a set around it. ...

    The wrap is in good shape as are the hoops, which is great because they can be expensive. If I get a good quality video from the gig I will post it. I'll definitely post pics of the finished...

    Re: Picked up another new kit

    That is a great score. I have a Design series kit to which I added an 8" tom. Awesome sounding kit, and the retail price on them has gone up a couple hundred bucks recently.

    Re: Another kit for me! Rukus Mod Orange Club

    Yes, it looks exactly like the Ludwig wrap. Gig went great, this kit punches well above its weight class. Can wait to take it out again!
