I gotz the same kit but more tomz, 8x10 8x12 9x13 14x14 14x16 w 16x22.all mini classic lugz. I set up what ever i'm in the mood for.Matching inlay. Nice vid BONZ!
Nice man pretty funny video. I just got a quote for a 22x16, 12x8 and 16x16 in that same finish but I may go with just the black sparkle. I think a 12x8 would probably look foolish with the classic lugs so I am debating on putting mini lugs on the rack tom and classic lugs everywhere else? Also looking at the center mount and the atlas ride holder on the bass drum as this will be a gigging kit so less cymbal stands is a good thing. How do you like those T" handles on the bass drum reso and batter? debating that as well but I think it may hinder fitting into a bass drum case? However the idea of adjusting head tension without a key is very enticing. I believe I am ordering the 12" tom with an atlas holder but I like the one you have on your 13" seems less intrusive. I am looking at red sparkle inlays. Love the shopping and cannot wait to get to the point of unpacking it like this : ).
I like how the large classic lugs look on an 8x12 personally! As far as the bass I'd go with the key rods too, as the Ts look cool, but are actually a bit of a pain in the butt. Especially true if you're going to use drum case. And I think the red sparkle inlays would look sharp!!
@@bonzoleum the only reason I say that about the 12 x 8 is the lugs are too close together reso and batter. a 12 x 9 would be ok but that 1" shallower depth makes a big difference. BTW do you have any video's of this kit under lights or set up and playing. Would love to see this color under stage lights
Hey Terry seems to me you’re going to have to be getting rid of some stuff in that basement to make room for this new toy. What you gonna put on the market? And those T lugs on the bass drum! Takes me back to my first Ludwig set which I bought in 1967. Was that an option?
With all of that great packaging I wouldn't have expected to see a crack. Damn, good thing you were video taping when you unboxed it and got a close up of the crack. Nice Kit Terry!
Wow for some reason it's super exciting for me to watch people to get to unbox their brand new drums I hope I get the experience that someday very happy for you man I can feel the excitement that you display
The guy loves his new drums, what can he say? Any gear-junky can understand it. Crack or no Crack. In my book, He always gets an "A" for enthusiasm and another "A" for real insight on all things Bonzo.
IT'S ALWAYS SPECIAL TO "FEEL THE NEW TOY"!!!!!!!!!!GREAT KIT TERRY!!! IT GIVES A NEW VIBE TO THE BOZOLEUM CHANNEL!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LESSONS WITH IT!!!! (JR-PORTUGAL) PS: I like the way your dog appreciates the new drums!!!!
Congrats Terry! Thought you may like to know, Ludwig sells “modern” rail mount systems that require no drilling. All you need to do is take two lugs off the bass drum, and the system mounts right where the lugs used to be. It’s a spectacular system, I highly recommend it!
Man I miss that Laquer smell!! I worked at Ludwig in 1993 until 1995 in Monroe N.C. then had to move back home for family issues soon after, Best job I ever had making shells.. $6.50 an hour back then, but my rent was only $200.00 a month.. lol Enjoy those Jem's Brother!! Rock!!
Hey Ed! Where did the Supra shells come from? Where did the maple and poplar plies come from- PA or Canada? How many people worked there? How busy was it? How many shifts? I could ask you a million questions of everything I've wondered about the Ludwig plant.
hahahaha yes man Congrats! Definitely gotta give the shells a sniff, it is a very unique smell =]. Just got all new heads on my 14X24 Salesman kit. Aquarian Response 2 clears on top and classic clears on the bottom, and a superkick 2 as always. And I tried this triple treat head that's 3 ply it's actually really nice
Right on Terry! Too bad they weren't in Chicago anymore, you could drive there and give us a factory tour while you picked them up. DId you get the picks I sent of the Richie Ring yesterday?
Brother that is so freaking awesome, i envy you ....I have only bought 1 brand new kit (DW collector series) way back in 2006 and was so excited to unbox it , but when i got to the store they had already unboxed it to look at it first .. i was and still am shattered i never got to be the first to see it .....
Terry, what a incredible looking kit my man!! I was considering the Black Galaxy Wrap for my Classic Maples as well. I’m also looking at Black Sparkle though, I’m not really sure which one to go for yet!
They look amazing. I have a double bass Ludwig accent custom and Keller shell kit but your kit takes the cake man. I hope to see you out coated emperors or ambassadors and see you beat the hell out of them!
