I got a '67 acrolite recently and I love it. It's a unique drum sound, imo. I still desire to own a Supra. So my question is:How different is the sound of a Ludalloy Supra to an Acrolite? I already own a Pioneer and a beautiful 80's Bronze Supra (I don't know what else to call it, but it's the 6 1/2" bronze shell with the stamped "B").Should I wait for a brass shell Supra - the one with the crimped beds?In short - is the heavy brass Supra the bee's knees of Ludwig metal shells?
Unless I'm losing it...the "B" stamped on your drum means it's made of Brass. If I'm incorrect, someone straighten me out...K?
As far as the "Heavy" brass shells, I've been through the mill on this..and, thanks to this forum, have seen the light. There are lots of questions re: the "Heavier" weight of the brass shells. Fact is, some are heavier, and some are not. Almost the same weight as the Alloy. I own a few Supras, and one Brass Supra from the early 70's with the modified badge. It weighs almost the same as the Alloy...but it is, Indeed, brass
Go figure
Hope this helps
