What is the general consensus for playing new vs vintage kits in a live setting.
What is you typical year cut off to determine if the kit is going back on the road or to be set to pasture in your basement, garage, cases, museum?
I have a 76 Luddy (24/14/18) that I have retired to their cases. This is mainly because it was my dad's and the sizes are not what I am interested in playing anymore.
For the past few years I've been gigging w/ a Yamaha Stage Custom (10/12/14/20) I purchased new. This is my main workhorse and has held up quite well.
I like the sound of old wood but I can't see myself bringing it out again.
What are you thoughts?
