Thanks For Watching :D
They always seem to sound better when clean.
True! Especially when you put the new heads on! Thank you for watching!
Damn that crome hardware shines! The hoop work was nice too.
Now cleaning Terry Bozzio drum kit.
He just donates his kit to 20 different schools and starts fresh.
Nice job on restoring the Ludwig drum kit.it’s glowing.
This was a great video, as I cleaned mine up to (the lemon oil really did the shells up).
Belíssima Ludwig !!
Maple poplar maple
Well done mate, prob the best restoration video I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tips on cleaning, 👍🎶
The lemon oil stuff worked great on my snare shell. Brought the color back to life.
When the time comes to change the heads on the other shells, I'll use that oil again (took me awhile to find it).
Parabéns ! O seu trabalho ficou excelente,principalmente porque você aoertou os parafusos com as mãos !!!! Muito bom !!!!
Anybody interested in fixing separated drum shells, use Titebond III and thin it out with water a little so the glue runs all the way down into the cracks. For tight cracks you can use a thin/medium CA super glue with an injector syringe to squirt it in the crack as best as possible. If in doubt just look up guitar headstock repairs and get a general idea of how to fix your specific situation.
Amazing work, beautiful looking and sounding drums. And I love that your cymbals are dirty as hell 😅 sound better that way
Great job, kit looks and sounds great.
Shells are so beautiful !
What a great work !
Very good job!
Very nice job!!
Awesome job! I really liked this video and collect the vintage stuff myself. I learned a lot here!
Bravo!!!
I would love to give all my drums to you for some work like that !
Great work and I can see your passion to this instrument , and the details .
Awesome video. Thanks for appreciating the old lugwigs and getting them back up to snuff. 3 ply ludwigs kick ass. Anyways, I’ve been looking for a video done like this so I could easily learn how to do this myself. I have two Early 80 tama superstar kits and some black and white badge ludwigs. I always get them sounding great but I knew I could get them better if I just took them all apart. Anyways thanks for putting this together and don’t give up on your channel bc your will be over 1000 subs in no time.
Great video. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it. Make more videos
Dan!! Thank you very much for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching my content! I have more videos in the works as we speak! Good luck on your collecting journey! If you have any questions regarding drums and percussion, don't hesitate to ask!
Great video! Unrelated shoutout to you rocking a marimba as well :)
Thank you for the comment! Highly appreciated! Marimba has always been one of my favorite instruments (including vibraphone). Thanks for watching!!
I missed what snare drum you used. I like the high tuning you went with. Sounded good, whatever it was. Knowing my powers of observation in the past, I probably just missed the shot where you showed it. Ha ha
I really liked your video! Tell me please, how do you clean the lags, what kind of remedy? Thank you!
I wish I knew about lemon oil about shell cleaning, instead of using an oil soap (which almost took OFF the finish).
Where are you located? My Sonor Force 2001 is in desperate need of an overhaul and you have the Ninja skills to do it.
Thank you for the complement! I am located in the Dallas/Fortworth area. So if you're in that area then I'll be able to help you out. destination_percussion@gmail.com would be where you can send me messages and pictures of your kit if you are in the area.
Yeah I’m in Georgia 😢
😢
What did you use to dip the tension rods in before screwing into the lugs?
White lithium grease
What do you charge for big kits ?
Very nice! How long did that take you from start to finish?
It took about 4 days for me to do it. In all reality, if you're not recording it and making a UA-cam video while doing the work It should only take about a day or two to complete. Thanks for watching!
@@destination_percussion I’m a Ludwig junkie myself. My drums have to be ludwigs, or I can’t sleep at night. I just am absolutely in love with them. I have a classic maple right now with a jazz fest snare and I’m tellin ya, that’s all I need in this life. Lol oh and I have to have remo heads.
Jeeze man my phone was having a glitch. Sorry about all the comments. Anyways yeah man definitely. I’ll be sure to pick your brain before your channel gets two big you can’t reply to all your subscribers haha. One question I got and how tight do you tighten the lugs? Just snug?
Just snug. If you over tighten your lugs you can do some serious damage.
Dear Ramos. What kind of material do you put into the end of the screws ?
White lithium grease then I added a nylon washer at the top to reduce metal to metal contact when tuning. Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching!
@@destination_percussion thank you Ramos ;)
Vasoline
Putting dirty lugs on a clear head can be a problem. Use anything but that. Lol
Great video....shame about the god awful music though !!!
