Hey all!
I am new here but not a new musician. :)
I recently inherited a 1970s Ludwig 6 piece Black Diamond Pearl... All original, except the snare... It seems to be some Japanese brand that was recovered to match the rest of the set. It's pretty much non-salvagable and I am in the process of purchasing a vintage Ludwig Maple Piccolo snare to put with it instead...
I have a few questions that I'd like to ask you guys... Hoping for some good advice and well, hoping to make some friends too!
Question 1 - I have some of the wrap that is starting to peel at the seam... Any recommendations for a good adhesive that won't breakdown the covering?
Question 2 - I've been researching heads to put on the kit... any suggestions on heads for the best sound?
I am going to attach a picture so you guys can see one of the finished toms. When I pulled up into my cousin's driveway... I felt like I hit the drum jackpot. Probably sounds lame, but these are pretty awesome..
Not only did I get this kit, but also extra 70s white Ludwig toms, a set of remo Roto Toms, cymbals, etc etc...
Anyway, look forward to chatting with you!
