I always bring a set of new single ply heads when trying an old kit. You can tell a lot by how a brand new head tunes up. It makes it really easy pick out a warped drum cause it will sound choked, with the fundamental sustain being way too short
It amazes me how these ‘vintage drum guys’ totally cannot tell that a drum in the kit they’re selling is out of round to the point that it’s pretty much useless. All while claiming being able to hear when each drum was made based on the effect of a new glue they started using a certain year or some sh like that😅
Great vid on old drums!
thanks for the insides, in Ukraine we usually have to deal with old kits, personaly i love how old ones sound
