That cleaned it up nicely. Gorgeous kit

Stopped by one of my usual music stores and happened upon this Tama double tom mount which replaces my Frankenmount shown in the third photo.
I think it’s a lot cleaner looking, and a little less chrome in the grill doesn’t bother me much

3-pack of e604 mics (for the $249 sale many shops are running) and a Beta 91a. Ol’ lazy me got sick of setting up mic stands at gigs. They sound pretty good, too. Bonus!

So a few weeks ago I went on and on about this nasty flea market find Ludwig snare. A 1940 Standard 7x14 mahagony shell. Put Evans G1 coated in top. Has an effortlessly loud crack with a killer rimshot. Three applications of Tung Oil. Here it is all put back to its Birthday Suit...

That is a fabulous find and restore. I guess I’ll have to start looking at flea markets because I have never found anything close to a ‘find’ like your Ludwig. Vintage stuff is so cool, glad you rescued it for a second life.

Yesterday I picked up a new Gretsch USA Custom 3 piece. 13, 16, 22x14 in black nitron. I got a phenomenal deal at my local store. I've been thinking about a Gretsch (among many others...) for quite a while. I've never actually owned Gretsch before. At any rate, the deal was so good that I knew if I did decide on a Gretsch at some point down the line I'd kick myself for not picking it up.

Still setting up/tuning/etc., but so far I'm really liking them!

Here's a quick phone pic:


It also shows my new from a few weeks ago Gibralter Stealth rack.

Thank you. Yep flea markets and such are always a hoot. It's the thrill of the hunt...

I'm in the market for a drum rack. I really like those stealth racks. Unfortunately, I have 4 toms, so, I don't think it would be very useful for me. Probably gonna have to go with a 3 sided rack.

The rack is pretty neat, but you're right - not sure about using 4 toms. I mean, it could probably work with a couple of double tom holders, but you might not be able/or want to attach anything else to it.

There is a video from Gibralter on the rack and many ways it can be customized:

They make it seem pretty limitless...

Sweet find! This is the kind of stuff that really gets me excited, post after photos please!

Why is he wearing a mask? Was there a studio audience?

Wow, doesn't look like it needs to be restored.

Looks pretty clean to me! Maybe bust out the chrome polish?! Beautiful Kit.

How do you like the Trick beater? I usually play the standard Danmar felt and red wood beaters, heavier than wood?

I've been wondering about the trick beaters also and I'm use Danmar reds.

oh, it does. Has a few serious issues

Has been stood for many years. All the paint has faded & the chrome has tarnished. I am off paint matching today

Frikkin beautiful. The bass drum with the black front head on red is killer.

Bought a bunch of coated Ambassadors for my DW kit:



This will be REALLY different for me as I generally put clear Remo Pinstripes on everything. I don't think I've used coated Ambassadors on anything but snares before.
