  • A little present for myself. After years of playing vintage Ludwigs as well as my little Sonor Safari kit - I went with these maple shell Tama drums. I'm impressed! More samples to come.

      I actually bought these over getting Starclassics or another set of Ludwig Classics. I could not justify spending that much money on a drum that doesn't sound better, look better, or play better than these. They're fantastic and I spent a couple of months coming to the decision to get them.

    Nice kit, beautiful finish. I have a Superstar Classic as well. Just wondering; using the drum dial for tuning, what are your settings?

    • @simmsdn
      @simmsdn  4 роки тому +1

      I used the drum dial initially with toms on around 75-78. I didn't like that. I haven't put the drum dial on it since I changed heads, my guess would be right around 72-73 on reso, maybe 73-74 on batters.

    • @jamesclifton2049
      @jamesclifton2049 4 роки тому

      Thanks. There must be a significant difference between a drum dial and Tama's tension watch. I know if I cranked mine that high, they would be way too high. I use my tension watch in noisy environments, to keep my tuning and sound consistent.
      I love my SSC set, best drums for the money, hands down.

    • @simmsdn
      @simmsdn  4 роки тому +1

      Completely agree. These replaced my late-70s Ludwig Classics (6-ply maple). I think they're more consistent, better edges, and the shells just sound better. I've though about a Tension Watch vice the Drum Dial. I haven't been impressed with Drum Dial. I think it's a bit inconsistent. I might just stick with how I used to do it - my ears. My ears tend to be a lot better than the Drum Dial - but some folks swear by it.

    Did you change heads to get rid of that ring and echo on your snare/Tom’s? Also , what is the hardware you’re using for your cymbals

    • @simmsdn
      @simmsdn  3 роки тому +1

      I ultimately went with Aquarian Super 2 and Classic Clear on toms. Aquarian Hi-Velocity on snare. The ring you hear in this is actually a sympathetic ring from an adjacent drum being hit...that took some time to figure out. I have to be careful with tuning so that it doesn't happen.
      Cymbal hardware here is all Gibraltar.
