So for the last year and a half I have been gigging my Pearl kit that i cut down to shallow concert toms which can nest and 22"bass. I love the sound. Before that i was using my Ludwig Jazzette 18" bass drum along with a snare and occasionally 12 and 15 inch mounted and floor toms. No issues with tone or sound, they both sound great, but I sometimes look for portability in and out of gigs when i decide what to bring. All of this time I have been ignoring my favorite drums stacked in the corner. so last week I brought out the 3-ply Ludwig's ( not all of them, its 12pc. double bass octa-plus) A nice 24 inch bass drum, 14 inch mounted and a 16 floor tom. For whatever reason, I have been neglecting to bring these out. The band immediately made comments about the sound, and look, silver sparkle always looks good under colored lights, and they were blown away by the bass drum. So for now, this is all I am going to be playing. What was i thinking not playing these all along?
Has anyone else stopped playing a kit and left it abandoned in a corner?
