Thank you very much. This kit was a major pain due to the unspoken and very much taboo screw issue...but, it's going together well. I had another drummer friend come over and help me with the long piece of bass wrap. That always goes better with four hands.
I've ordered the front head stickers and tom mount bolts for the kit. I purchased a sweet spur-lok semi-flat Luddy hi-hat this eve. I like the flat Slingerland cymbal stands and snare stand. I picked up a couple more of the Buddy Rich cymbal stands to do a side by side on which I prefer. I never liked the Atlas or Hercules cymbal stands.
Any guidance on the heads and snare choice for that 61 Blue Sparkle Super Classic? I am hoping someone has already done the homework on this one. I've never owned one and really have no idea how it sounds. I've played and owned bunches of Luddy snares through the years, but never one of these. It's got that WFL throwoff and I have no idea how sensitive that thing is. Any help would be cool.
