Hi Guys
Spent some time in the U.S.A. very recently and had a wonderful holiday.
Visited the Ludwig factory in Monroe and I was very impressed with their hospitality and genuine pleasure in the work they do and the instruments produced there.
I met Mark Williams of Ludwig who was charming and very friendly even though I turned up with no prior notice, a really great guy.The factory visit put the cherry on my holiday.
I tried to purchase a 402 from Atlanta Pro Percussion but they did not have the model I wanted in stock. On my return home I bought one from The London Drum Company in Croydon. A fabulous shop with great staff.
Got it home, swapped the heads and put on a Puresound and love it!
I finally understand why this drum is so highly regarded.
