The Ludwigs I ordered have arrived, and man do they sound great! I've been playing the Mapex M-Series for quite a few years now, and I've learned to get the most from them, often getting compliments on the sound of my drums. But...
These new Ludwig Maple Classics absolutely blow them away! They sound phenomenal and are VERY easy to tune. I couldn't be happier. I also got a Pork Pie Big Black snare, and it is also wonderful! I haven't used a metal snare in a while, and I'm REALLY enjoying this one!
Also, this marks my return to a 24" bass drum - holy cow, I had forgotten how sweet a 24 sounds. I tightened the heads til the were just resonating nicely, evened out the pitch around the drum, and BAM! Sounds exactly like I want my bass drum to sound.
All-in-all, I'm a very happy camper!
