Ludwig Drums

What is the core drum set that you're playing? So the core for

this run, I'm using a classic just Ludwig maple kit, 2012.

16 also came with the 14, but we don't need it yet And then yeah, I just had you know hi-hat crash ride ride another like kind of crash ride and then a another like sims like stack symbol all the way to my right and that's kind of like my the basic like setup that I had and then you know we started like playing different, like, we started jamming more, you know, and I would just watch these jam bands and, you know, and I love like, you know, Billy Martin and he's got all these cool sounds.

So I'd be like, oh, let's go to, there's a place in Inglewood in California, Motherland Music, and they have like all these cool instruments, like, you know, like how weird cowbells and stuff like that so it's like why not let's add that you know and everyone's open to just doing whatever you want so i would just you know see how that would sound and then just kind of kept adding stuff to where it's at now sometimes there's like some gong symbols and sometimes that and like i don't i won't touch them because it's not we're not playing that song today so they're just there for you know you never know also keep things interesting

What about the snare? It was a Black Beauty, right?

Oh, right, yeah, Black Beauty.

Then we have another snare on the side, which was like another Ludwig.

I don't know, Bo found it at like Nelson Drum Shop or something.

It was a big city, pretty, you know, I mean, what is it, two hours away or something? But I certainly didn't get there until I was well into high school.

But, you know, the Ludwig Drum Company and Frank's Drum Shop and all of that, I certainly knew Chicago as a hub of this and that the Percussive Arts Society was just beginning in the middle ages.

The late 1960s, maybe.

So I was, you know, I was getting the the little journals.

I think the first things I got, though, was that that the Ludwig Drum Company was publishing a little magazine, you know, and, you know, with Joe Morello and his drum set and those sorts of things.

So I was I mean, that's the kind of beyond.

Beyond the the city band, you know, in Sheboygan, I mean, there was that there was there was the influence of of of.
