After years and years of playing, I finally hooked up with a full costume/authentic instrument Beatle Tribute Band.
I've always lusted after a Ludwig OBP kit, but just couldn't find a good used one for sale, and the new "Bowling Ball" finish that Ludwig has been putting out on their Accent and Classic Maple "Fab Four" kits, just didn't appear close to the original OBP wrap to me.
So, I bit the bullet, and just bought the new Liverpool 4 replica 100th Anniversary kit.
Sizes are 9x13, 16x16, 14x22 kick, with 5x14 snare.
This is really well done, (albeit expensive!), but a really close representation of the 60's kit. It's in the Legacy series, so it also has the 3-ply shells with re-inforcement hoops.
I also have picked up a couple of the new Zildjian Armand series cymbals to go with the kit, to try to be as authentic as possible.
Here's some quick pics I took...I will post some more detailed ones when I get a chance
Cheers
