Looks like the Ludwig Silver dots returned, check out the ad from Sweetwater! Kinda stoked about that as my vistas had old SDs and I absolutely loved their dot formula punch and focus. However no 6” and 15” sizes available at the moment it seems?
Interesting is Ludwig partnered with Remo so I wonder if the dot formula will be the same or if they’ll adopt Remos dot formula which to me is not as bright, focused, or punchy as the SDs. Remos dot material is somewhat softer and while really focused sound, the CS won’t give the attack the SDs have.
Another thing I like about the Ludwig SDs were, the dots ever so slightly if at all, increase or decrease in size with shell diameter as opposed to Remos, with my 6” tom dot being 4” and my 18” ft dot being around 9”-10” if this nuance makes any sense at all.
I’m excited, does anyone have these?
