Hi,
I'm about to pull the trigger on a nice usa drum. As of now I only own a MIJ late-60s Pearl.
I found a few interesting kits locally. Basically, a mid 60 mahogany Ludwig, an early 70s Rogers and a 1970 Lugwig.
Obviously, I'll try them before choosing, but what should I expect from those drums? I guess there is not much difference between the mahogany and maple Ludwig? But what about the 5-ply Rogers with 45 degrees bearing edge? Is this night and day from the Ludwig?
And about the value, do they have all the same value (if they are in good shape) ? They are all from the same guy and he would let them go for basically the same price. They are all 22-13-16 kits.
Thanks!
