    Great minds think alike! BTW, you got a great deal on that kit. I might try your snare restoration tips. Thanks.

    Re: Any Historic Concerts ?

    Thanksgiving 1971. The late show at the Academy of Music, NYC. Procol Harum was the headliner. King Crimson was the second act. Yes opened the show. A top ten concert for sure. Six months later, Yes...

    Very nice story. Great memories to come for all involved.
    I may be biased, but I think drummers are the best!

    If you band's name is Byzantine, this rack is perfect. Otherwise, not so much.
  9. Re: If you could only have one brand of drums and one brand of cymbals the rest of yo

    I agree! The "core" of my Ludwig kit is 46 years old, and my oldest Zildjian is 50 years old. I guess I am playing my dream; all I ever wanted was Ludwig and Zildjians.

    I asked the same question to drummer friend of mine about my '71 Ludwigs, especially using them for gigging. His answer: Isn't that what you bought them for? And I gotta admit, he's right.

    Re: Gentle Giant

    Yes! I saw them many times in the 70s. They opened for Tull during the Thick as a Brick tour. I also saw them as headliners. They were/are great.

    Re: Drilling a brand new DW bass drum - am I crazy?

    As a younger (hence, not as smart) man, I drilled into my Ludwig (now vintage) bass drum to accommodate an extra cymbal holder. It was not a virgin bass, as it already had a cymbal arm and rail...

    My only regret is losing the receipt for my 1971 Ludwig five-piece set (one up, two down) purchased new from Manny's Music in NYC. I can't remember if I paid $570 or $750. And, of course, I still...

    They are essentially the same drum with a different finish. The Acrolite looks a little plain to me but the Black Galaxy, or Black-rolite, looks great. It's like a black sparkle finish, really...

    Congrats, OldeEnglishD. At some point you will not consider four limbs doing different things, but four limbs contributing to one musical phrase. Until then, and even after that, have fun.

    That's the combo I used: Pinstripes over Ambos. The mounted top at 10" is always gonna be high, but the floor tom goes pretty deep.

    If you're even semi-serious about becoming a good jazz drummer using traditional grip, find a good teacher. That will accelerate the learning curve.

    Re: Ludwig snare lugs

    Yeah, judging by the strainer and the nickel hardware, that drum must be from the '50s, maybe earlier. I'm sure it sounds great the way it is. Keep in mind, while the snare drum is arguably the most...
