Bonzoleum's * Changing A Drum Head On My 18" Ludwig Amber Floor Tom 

Zimorog Band... agreed bro Terry is the show!!! But still I loves me my J H BONHAM...long LIVE BONZOLEUM!!!!🤘😎🤘

Thank you ZB!

What do you think about a black dot snare head

I actually like them as a snare head!

What about that bass drum hoop???🤔

Who loves ya, baby!!

Thank you, TP!

I'd love too-thanks for the comment, J!

You MUST buy one!

I saw we get a standard 3 gallon bucket (heavy gauge), and call it the HEAD PARKER and rake in the cash!

bonzoleum - I approve of that.

Thank you BDE!!!

I'd love to do that. Thanks for the kind words, sir!

Thanks Joe! I din't realize Gretsch was down there too...

Yeah, I've wanted go visit both of them. Pretty cool to see both.

Thank you, LB44!!

Yes-I got them there too!

I didn't accept it yet? I'm a skull.

Yeah, I've always felt like when I sit higher I get more speed and when I sit lower I get more power.

That'd be sweet!

Yes-never at shops...There are so many head choices now it's impossible for local shops to stock nothing but the most common..

Higher you rely less on the calf muscle (more endurance), but I was too lazy to adjust my spring setting and shaft length to get better control in the higher position. I like your avatar Keith!

bonzoleum I sit on the highest position setting on my Roc-n-soc I'm 6'3" and have always preferred to sit up higher I never noticed calf muscle strain, it's always that muscle that runs along your shin on the right side of your shin that burns like a mug after about 30 seconds of immigrant song. Today I am releasing my left kick drum to eBay I'm saying goodbye to 2kick drums & saying hello to more creativity and ability on 1 foot. I've been playing double bass for about 20 years or so and I feel like it's made me lazy and less creative. Anyways thank you for your reply sir keep on rockin, and I'll keep a'watchin'.

I'm going to probably score a 16x16 Neusonic and cut it down a smidge..

Hi Ace-I do actually prefer the 18”!

I'll send you some shoot me an email at the bonzoleum gmail addy.

Yes.

I typically only use a one rack/one floor setup. When I bought these ambers last month, it only came with the 18 so I need to find a 16. Thanks AV!

atl_drum He used 2A Ludwig. Some people say they are bigger than 2B but i have no idea since it is the exact opposite for 5As and 5Bs

Thomas Hope I didn't even know 2a existed!

Terry actually had a pair of exact BONHAM replicas made about 20 pair I was lucky enough to get two of them and yes there 2A's Ludwig I do believe that they are thicker but the shafts down at the tip are a lot skinnier hope this helps

As the guys said, Bonham used Ludwig 2A (and 2B reportedly-the 2B were slightly different-a little longer too). Also Promuco and some others I'm sure. In all pics I've seen his sticks alwys appear to be heavier gauge (like a common 5B of most manufacturers).

Thanks Nate!

The ever-so-delectable 20" A Zildjian SYMPHONIC FRECH. I was just on the phone with a Zildjian rep and told him the French is a magical cymbal. If I had both a couple 22"s and 24"s (23"s too), I'd be set!

I'll check that out!

I love 'em both! The current Ludwig CLASSIC MAPLEs are outstdning!

Thanks Tony-looking to find my sweet spot again...
