I really like the +1 very classy.

Bram

Kick is 20" deep x26 (diam)....it's so awesome, I just love that drum size (I have another one in Sable Black with long lugs too...pic below).

The china's are actually pretty close to me, and kinda boomed in.
I can play them from behind too for things like suspended rolls--they sound pretty cool that way.
They are (custom ordered size) 21" AAX chinas w/rivets.

Boomed in kinda like this, but not as much these days...but I won't rule out changing back to boomed like this sometime.
They are also quite a bit lower now.

The china's in this pic were pretty high, and I raised my hands a little to roll on the bottom from the back.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/KarlCrafton/sideview.jpg

The hat side one I can raise my hand and play patterns on if I want, it's pretty close, but I can still raise my arm higher, and not hit it (since it's moved back a bit) if I want to get all Tommy Aldridge about it.

Yeah, that gong is cool....I like using it, the band likes it, and people don't know what to say when you set it up at a show, & that's fun too!
People don't really know what to make of the 2 china's either, so it's always fun to set the kit up.

Thanks for the nice words!

RogerLudwig,I love your kit,it sorta looks like mine,but with a different finish...

I was noticing the same thing on the "Show off your Ludiwig's thread"! You have a great looking kit. I also have a 9x13 that I use instead of the 8x12 (shown in the pic) when I play rock gigs (I play either one up/two down or one up/one down, never do I use two rack toms). I also have the larger classic lugs on all of the drums except the 8x12, which has the mini-classic lugs. The folks at Ontario Music said he older versions of the classic maples had smaller lugs on all shells 8x12 or smaller...so that overall symmetry was maintained. I think it worked out pretty well with my kit.

I ordered a matching 6.5 x 14 LS403 last Friday. Hope it comes soon.

I have to say I really like the BOP wrap on your kit. I also liked the new Sunset Diamond Pearl and Indigo Sparkle wraps that came out last year, but in the end, I just had to have WMP; the only finish I've ever owned in a drum kit! With all of the great wraps, I don't think I'd ever want a laquer or natural finish.

How do you tune yours? I put the snare at middle C and then tune down a 1/3 on each of the toms.

So do people who play 1 up 2 down generally have nearly-if-not-totally flat toms?

it's because the people who use such a setup tend to be pretty hard-hitters and it just helps with the longevity of the heads.

I always apreciate your opinions and advice.

I love the rail mounts too. I get some flack for mounting the tom bracket directly to the shells, but if it was good enough for Ludwig, Gretsch, Rogers, Slingerland etc, then it's good enough for me.

I think that my bout of big kit silliness has come to it's end. From now on it's strictly four by four for me.

RIGHT ON MAN!!!
Flack schmack, go play your own drums.

Really, RIMS are cool, but the way shells are made now, and how sturdy they are, a mount on the drum, like a L-arm style, or even Yamaha's older style mounts isn't any problem IMO.

Yamaha's toms never had any problem resonating fully with the mount they had before the YESS system.

DW's L-arm is on the big size too (& awesomely sturdy), and it's no problem.

Maybe on a really thin shell, you might be better off without a mount directly on he drum, but on 'average' thickness shells, no problem.

Even with a RIMS, if you tune the drum up perfectly holding it, once you put it on the L-arm (or whatever holds it up), the sound changes a little.

I'd have a mount on my tom if I didn't change how I set stuff up all the time and just stick with one way...

4&4 is awesome...but I can't give up my left side ft.....I could give up a couple crashes and just use hat, ride and one (or no) crash, but I love that hat side ft....

24" bass drums are great too.
I'm even toying with getting a 24 again for some things...but it will be at least 20" deep of course...even though my old Ludwig (3ply w/re-ring) 14x24 is still fun to play :-)

Have a great time in that fun looking drum room you have Barry!!!

Thank you. I did get a new bass drum head...it's a Superkick II--very delicious-sounding, I might add.

I'm having some trouble with cymbal stand issues, though. I have a lightweight boom, a heavyweight boom, a lightweight straight, and a heavyweight straight, and one arm on a clamp. Problem is, my cymbals are too heavy for my crappy light PDP hardware. And stands, while still fun to buy, are probably the least exciting major purchase.

I can tune my snare and floor toms fine, but the stupid rim mount on my tom prevents me from finger tightening the lugs easily, so I can't tune by feel AT ALL. It makes it very difficult to get an even sound.

Yeah i know what you mean. The problem with most suspension mounts is that they are mounted in some way to the lug. Personally i think tama's StarCast system is very good because the suspension mount is held onto specialised holes on the rim. Really though i just take the drums off their mounts then i'll tighten the lugs until they touch the hoop, then i'll give them about 1/2 a turn, just about takes away the wrinkles and gives an amazing sound.

Well, the Pinstripe tunes so easily, right now it has a decent sound. Eventually I'll just buy a new mount for it, or even take the mount off and put it on a snare stand. For now, I'm fine though.

Heres my ddrum kit from a recent gig...

Oh my god. That kit SCREAMS punk rock. In other words, I really like it! And I dig the way your red 5000 pedals contrast with the kit's colors.

The acoustic guitar player in a church doesn't even whisper punk rock.

Really nice looking kit, though. I've yet to even hear a DDrum kit. How do you like it?

On another note, gorgeous kit.

I mean, he might not play punk rock. But that kit sure fits the bill in the looks department.

Yeah I love my ddrum kit... not just because i own it, but it seriously is a really great kit. Ive used it for different styles including Church stuff!! yeah we rock it out seriously! It definitely is great for the rock stuff which is what i usually play... but all around great kit, especially with my stewart copeland snare and the byzances... great combo!

The kits is a classic!...I can almost sense the spirit of Bonzo around them. The photo is excellent, looks great outdoors on the grass.

Thanks for the comments on my kit. This kit is the best kit I have owned. They are easy to tune, there really fun to play and I just love this kit. These things are frickin cannons!! I highly recommend the Ludwig Maple Classics to anyone that may be in the market for a new kit. Thanks again!!

Tama has always made really good drums. I had two sets of Tamas back in the eighties during my long haired rock n roll days. In fact my hi-hat stand is my Tama stand from years ago, I still use it because it is made so well and it is really comfortable to play I can't part from it. I really like the finish on your drums what is it called?

Very nice looking kit man! Are those the new reissued stainless steel or the original vintage drums? Either way beautiful kit!!

Thanks for the compliments guys! They are 1983 6 ply maple with ChromeOWood wrap. The sizes are 16" x 26" Bass Drum, 14"x13" Rack Tom ,16" and 18" Floor Toms 14"x 8 Colliseum Snare. Cymbals are 15" Paiste Soundedge Hi Hats 24" Paiste Classic Ride, 20" Rude Crash/Ride and an 18" A zildjian Crash. I am the original owner However they were out of my posession for 10 years. I got them back in the spring of 08' they were filthy and I have been cleaning and restoring them ever since. I got a lot of inspiration and guidance from this board. Especially LVDC Some awesome looking stuff here. Love all the Bonham kits ! As for sound I changed all the heads to Emperor Batter and Ambassador resonants .And they sound pretty good. And yes they are quite loud.as you would expect. But not out of control.It makes me smile just to look at them and thats what it's all about isn't it?

Jer thanks for the kind words. I actually have alot of late 70's Hercules stands however my original HighHat did not make it through the seperation. It had to be replaced This kit was out of my hands for 10 years stored in a friends damp cellar. The kit in it's original configuration was massive. It included two 26" kicks with 13" and 14" power toms 16" and 18" floor toms and about eight cymbals. Lack of space dictated I scale it down to a classic One Up Two Down set up. I nicknamed it my "Spirit Of Bonzo" kit. I installed the classic ludwig L arm cymbal holder and installed new coated white heads and 70's style logo for that vintage look. I got alot of Ideas from all the cool kits on this board and all the tech knowledge from guys like LudwigVonDrumCrazy.
