LedZedTributeUK Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 that's a real nice kit. do you also have a gong and tympani? No, Not as of yet and doubt I ever will as they are soooo expensive for what they are , Possibly a gong one day but the Tympani, I can live without !

DMachine Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 My old Ludwig Jazz kit went thru some hard times and became rusty, some peeling and warped wood, but I still use it for practice. I got behind a kit after 25+ years and needed a new set now that the band is rollin', so I got the cheapest kit they had, which is still a good kit.

ledzepfilm Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Isn't that a Ludwig accent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMachine Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Isn't that a Ludwig accent? Yes it is, an Accent CS. There are 3 types, a junior kit for yuoung players, a Jazz kit with smaller drums (20" bass drum, 14x5" snare 10 & 12" toms 14" floor tom) and the one I bought called Power kit. It has a 22" bass, a 14 x 6.5" snare, 12 & 13" toms, a 16" floor tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMachine Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Roblindbad, do the pedals change the pitch? Is that what the levers do, adjust the amount of pitch? Gimme details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 They appear to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblindblad Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Roblindbad, do the pedals change the pitch? Is that what the levers do, adjust the amount of pitch? Gimme details! Ya the pedals do change the pitch. Pressing down highers the pitch, letting the pedal up lowers the pitch ... and they can get so loud that people can hear them 3 street blocks from where you live. I bought them so I could play Toccata by E.L.P. and are excellent to use in the tunes of my two other favourite drummers John Bonham, and Keith Moon. I play by ear so I tune them and play away... never adjusted the pitch the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roblindblad Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 well compared to the kit I used to own a Maple Gretsch Nighthawk 2 (the same one you see Phil Collins using on the cover of Seconds Out) 13" 14" 15" 16" concert toms 18" floor tom 26" bass drum 10" 12" silver Tama concert toms 14" chrome covered brass snare drum 5 1/2" deep Ludwig Speedking bass drum pedal Tama Triton stands 5 cowbells 2 triangles a wood block 13" Paiste high-hat cymbals 12" 14"16" 18" Paiste cymbals 28" Zildjian Turkish Gong 27" 29" Ludwig Dresden series Copper Tympanies even though my present kit has less hardware to use at once it still beats having to replace every Paiste cymbal every 3 months due to cracking and putting holes through them with my sticks while playing including skins... sticks also break less which is a money saver the electronic kit is a whole lot easier to transport than the old kit I can play it anytime by just putting on headphones with no need to worry about disturbing the neighbours and the electronic kit also has tympanies and gongs programmed into it amongst many more percussive instruments than I can afford to buy at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey1985 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 This is not mine, it belongs to my friend and band mate, though it stays at my house This is one of only 100 kits made, each signed by Jason Bonham with the led zeppelin 1 album cover on the front head ( though my friend keeps that at home and uses a clear one). These kits were made for the 02 gig for Jason, I'm not sure how many he owns but he played one of them at 02. My buddy does have the other floor tom, just couldn't fit it onstage lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 That's pretty kewl shit. Have you fiddled on them Joey for the hell of it? I see you are the guitarist for your band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 yea i've jammed a little bit on them, they are just so massive and beefy. huge fucking sound, I've never heard a kit like it, it literally sounds like thunder, just unbelievable. My pearl kit looks like a small toy beside the vistalite kit lol. We played a big concert hall about a month ago and they provided this huge PA system and the bassist and I both had big amps and speaker cabinets and the sound guy comes up to us on break and says he had to take the drums out of the PA because they were too loud. Mind you I was playing a vintage 100watt marshall turned all the fucking way up and our bassists had a huge bass set up. And I wonder why I'm only 25 and can't hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Haha, you must have a wall of sound! When I upgraded my Pearl Forum to my Ludwig, I noticed to volume difference! Are you really completely deaf or just a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
