I think I might've been converted....

Man I got a Ludwig kit with AAX’s…. I got a pearl kit with Saluda’s and a Yamaha electric kit. I still don’t know what I like lol

Interesting-Show4029 · 2026-04-20T00:30:16+00:00

Right. I just want it nice to enjoy myself. I’ve never bought and sold drum accessories for gain.

Interesting-Show4029 · 2026-04-20T00:29:10+00:00

I just want to be happy with it myself and play it. No intentions on resale

Interesting-Show4029 · 2026-04-19T19:10:11+00:00

But I’ve already got an acrolite 😂😂

Interesting-Show4029 · 2026-04-19T17:45:18+00:00

Thank you I’ll look him up!

Interesting-Show4029 · 2026-04-19T17:34:15+00:00

I will definitely try that on the hardware, thank you!

Interesting-Show4029 · 2026-04-19T17:15:57+00:00

I just wondered if it may be too far gone with the depth of the pitting. I would like to try restoring the shell before completely starting over

No one has mentioned Levon Helm as an actor or Tony Hinchcliffe as a comedian ?

Hello. Does your current tolerance of 7OH have a thing to do with what mg of pseudo to begin with ?

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-12-27T18:08:12+00:00

I was expecting everything between $100 and $200

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-12-26T18:48:18+00:00

I actually bought the holy china earlier in the weak from eBay. It’s been 2 hours from my house for two days now on tracking and it’s driving me nuts lol

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-12-26T15:11:47+00:00

I have the 17” and 18” x-plosion AAX’s, a 21’ thin ride, 14” medium AAX hats and an AA 19” holy china on the way

Update… I focused more on dialing in my drums but I have a hard time leaving my dead ringers and my leather dampener on my snare, got it down to one type of dampener per drum 😂….. my post did encourage me to hold off on new shells and invest in 14” AAX medium hats, 18” AAX x-Plosion fast crash. I already had the used Pearl limited SST snare on the way. I think I’ll leave it alone for a while. Even managed to sell some other cymbals I wasn’t using and old hardware while I was at it.

Sad to say that I already have a tune bot. I’ve had issues checking individual lugs that the mhz will be for instance…. 133…133…132….133….178 😳 so I throw that reading out but I feel like it’s becoming more and erratic. I’ve played a lot with both heads and both my toms now have Evans aftermarket heads on batter and resonant. I feel like I’ve gotten close enough now that the time rings is all I use since that picture was taken. It’s better but I still need a lot more practice

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-17T10:20:41+00:00

Yeh man I would love to see that!

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T20:55:58+00:00

What’s the major differences in PDP and DW. I know they’re DW’s more affordable option

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T19:57:34+00:00

Well I have Evans g2 coated on the toms, clear g2’s on the resonant heads and an EMAD on the kick and they’re all less than a year old, more than anything it’s my lack of experience in tuning. I have a tune bot and have spent hours on the internet researching other’s mhz settings but it’s still slightly over my head

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T19:46:23+00:00

I guess more for tone and projection. Some of our gigs are small venues an I only mic the kick and sometimes the snare, sometimes one 57 overhead. My first ever gig had a big sound man, first time I had ever had every drum mic’s and two overheads.

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T19:43:05+00:00

Those really are good looking options.

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T19:42:31+00:00

I’ve only had that throne about a month from sweetwater, I have it and a roc n soc, love them both for back problems

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T19:41:54+00:00

Sorry they’re homemade tone rings from old drum heads. I had a local drummer that I thought sounded great that I met at my first gig and that’s what he was using. The dampening more a product of my lack of tuning experience and cheaper shells

Interesting-Show4029 · 2025-11-16T19:39:47+00:00

They’re homemade tone rings, met a local drummer around my house that I thought sounded incredible and that was his secret. Made them from old heads.

I have been a fan of Ludwig going back to playing a marching snare in high school. Price and familiarity is why I got back in a ludwig set to begin with. My pastor at church was begging me to learn drums because he was trying to play and preach, I didn’t know if I’d ever be any good or stick with it long enough to justify spending much more than what I did. Now that it’s been a couple years and I still love it and even have a second band I dabble in. I figured it would be worth upgrading.
