    The hands are slower than they were 10 years ago , but what really bothers me is my lack of endurance.

    As usual, it's always good to hear from you.

    What??? Lack of endurance???

    Rick, you just stroked off more notes in 3 minutes that I play in an entire 4hr gig. I don’t think endurance is an issue for you

    You got any videos of your old Ludwigs? I need some inspiration to finish the restoration on one of my ‘69/‘70 project kits!

    These are the old Ludwigs (actually it's the same set, I just rewrapped them in 2015).

    As for the endurance, I was 66 when I did that video, and even at that point I had lost 10-15% of the speed I had when I was 50. When I slowed down in that video, it was not because I had to, I was just thinking of what I was going to do next. The video I put up yesterday, I slowed down because I had to.

    If you are wondering, the sizes are: 24x14 BD, 13x9 and 14x10 up toms, 16x16 and 18x16 floor toms. The toms over the floor toms are 14x10 and 15x12. The snare in the video is a Acrolite.

    I have another BD, 24x14, and a 12, 13, 14 and another 16x16 FT. There is a video where I had 10 toms up at 1 time. I set them up like that once or twice a year just to mess around. You can see a couple of the other toms in the background.
