The title says it all.
I have a 60's Ludwig WMP kit that I love. I have a 65 Slingerland kit in Black Pearl that I love.
I have been toying with the idea of buying a Round Badge kit for many years now, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
I don't get it. I simply don't hear or see anything in vintage Round Badge drums that makes them so desirable that I just have to have them.
Is there something wrong with me? What is the allure?
As far as quality is concerned my 65 Slingerland kit wins hands down for the 60's time period.
The precise 3 ply shells and the COB hoops along with the quality lugs and snare hardware make it stand out beyond the reach of Gretsch, Ludwig, and Rogers of the day.
Slingerland nailed it and still lost the race. Funny how the world works.
I keep on playing and looking at vintage Gretsch kits whenever I can, but I just can't like them to the point that I would buy one.
