I just hooked up with a really fine Beatle cover band called The Britles here in the Toronto area.
Of course i had to go out and find the appropriate gear, and I found a used Ludwig Classic Maple in Oyster Black Pearl that was in excellent condition.
Sizes are 9x13, 16x16, 14x22 and unfortunately a 6.5x14 snare ( I really wanted the 5x14 to be more authentic). The wrap is not as blatently bad as the newer "bowling ball" ones I see, and from a short distance actually looks pretty good. You may notice that the front hoop has the inlay and the rear does not. This kit came with just black hoops so i borrowed an inlayed hoop from a Ludwig Accent fab Four kit that we use for rehearsals.
We just played the British Isles Show in Toronto this past weekend to a huge crowd, and we were received very well.
If you want to hear us, http://www.youtube.com/user/wooltonboy Sorry for the poor sound quality, as they were taken with a small digital camera, plus the hall sounded like a cavern!
Cheers
