Interesting! I've never owned a Ludwig Super Sensitive but I own a Premier 2000, which based on the video is similar in many ways: aluminum shell, parallel action strainer, extended wires. I assume it was based on the Ludwig. It has the advantage of having a smaller footprint so it fits in a standard snare case or bag. The draw-back: its been out of production for decades so spare parts are scarce.

Thanks!

2024🎉 still got help from your video, thanks ❤

one of my teachers in college had a copper super sensitive. if I ever get a chance I am getting a hammered copper super sensitive.....

Recently bought a 6 1/2x 14 1971 , well cared for with very little pitting. THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! a must watch for SS owners

My step nut quit fastening on my 6 mm clutch do I need to replace the whole clutch or just the nut part

Waste of time with no demo.

Hello! The cord springs on my marimba have gone rusty, and I'm not sure how to clean them. Usually, I use a soft cloth to clean most other mallet instruments, but I'm unsure if it will do the job. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Thanks

I would like to see how they a transported around. As little as possible I bet!

Nice! And always appreciate a tight african clave ending💯🔥

Practical question: if you stand on a platform you have a more comfortable striking height and you can see your conductor over the tubular bells. Would that work?

Incredible!!!

Homie saved my life

Where can I buy rattan shafts?

Concise, to the point, great work!👍

What the example piece from exercise 2?

Awesome video and very clear explanation! Thank you

Where can I purchase the sheet music for this arrangement?

The first marimba performance video I've seen of this that actually appreciated and tried to represent the phrasing, very nice.

I have a super sensitive ludwig snare. I bought a new spring for the model I have. According to the serial number,it is a 1976 model. The spring that I bought from sweet water seems to be too long. It is a 14 inch snare but the springs that I bought is 18 1/4 inches long. is this the right spring? Sweetwater said this is the only one that they sell.

I fixed my 1990 Bronze Super sensitive 6 1\2 inch with expensive used parts from Ebay. Are you saying Ludwig still sells new parts for the drum? I did not have any luck with finding new parts from Ludwig.🤔

Thank you

My name is also Benjamin Burson. It’s so weird. Anyway awesome performance man congrats.

素晴らしい演奏をありがとう！

I bought a black beauty super 6.5x14 in 1988 with my new Classic kit. I loved and played this snare til 2010. It took a very heavy 2 and 4 for many years. I'll take a SS over a standard throw off any day.

I have a 5 x 14" Ludwig Supersensitive snare drum. Picked it up about 15 years ago from a private seller for quite a good price. It is in excellent condition with very little 'pimpling' of the chrome finish which is common on the older chrome over alloy shell Ludwig snare drums. All I had to do with mine was replace the reso head with a Remo hazy Ambassador and get new snare wires put on it. (I don't know if they are Ludwig snare wires or not I had a drum shop do it). Mine dates from mid-late 1970's blue and olive badge. It is a well made drum but quite frankly is not my favorite snare drum in my collection..rather awkward to fit into a drum set application as the snare guards stick out quite a bit and just have to finagle the drum around in the snare stand to allow clearance for the snare guards yet still have the snare throw off lever in a convenient location. Mine has an issue with snare wires rattling when the snare throw off is lowered all the way down..I don't get a clean 'no snares' sound in the event I want the snares completely off. Anybody know how to fix this?

Yeah! Uhm, not necessary! So many good mallets out there that I don't need to make my own really. I prefer to spend my time becoming a better musician. Unless: 1. You can't, so you're looking to do something else with your time; or 2. you really have something unique to offer that no mallet company is already offering, in which case you should start your own company, invest thousands of hours in product development, innovation, build a company and so on, and then have some green student come along and say, "Oh, no, I prefer to make my own mallets thanks!"

Being a a drummer for 60 years, I need to say never crank down your clutch as tight as you show here. I never have understood why some people do that. It’s pretty simple, you don’t want your other cymbals cranked down tight. If you do you will have cracked cymbals . I suggest you re-think this.

Where do you get the mallet shafts? I tried looking at Home Depot and craft stores and all the shafts are a flimsy dowel material. I feel like the mallet shaft would crack easily with little to no movement

I was introduced to chimes when i first joined my school’s symphonic band 5 years ago. It has been my favourite instrument ever since. I only got to play it one year but the songs and solos i played on it is the reason why i love this instrument so much. I was taught a different way to strike it. 45 degrees upwards. My seniors told me that it’ll make it resonate better but its way easier to miss so it felt so good when i got it down to muscle memory

Outstanding performance (and at tempo, too!)! We performed this shirtless with black lights and glow-in-the-dark body paint when I was at Interlochen. This brings back fond memories!

Hi, great performance. Could you send me this sheets, i am from Russia and because of world situation i can't even play it. It would be really great if you helped me

why are you down stroking and why are your hands halfway up the mallet? this is coming from a percussionist btw

Lord help us all

I was taught to strike perpendicular to the cap. 45' only for harmonic effect.

Very good explanation!!!!! Thank you!!!! And you have very beautiful voice!!!!

Infinitely beautiful!!!!!!! 💘😍🏩 I love you guys!!!!!!! This is one of the best interpretations of my favourite Spanish dance!!!!!!

Very nice sound on the timpani😊

I have a drum dial, and it has pressure settings for coated non coated heads. how about hydraulic oil based heads?

Vey cool

Ben giving main character vibes! Really taking me on a journey :')

I have a hammered bronze that I got from Alan White of Yes. I play it everyday. It's so precious to me. My favorite drum.

For marching band is there a core that you suggest that isn’t wood? I just don’t want them to constantly brake

This was so amazing, I love these kind of videos, you’re such a great player, rock on

I have hammered shell BB p70. It’s taught me that the only thing needing to be super sensitive about drumming is my playing. Give me super tough, solid, un-finicky any day. For playing with kit it’s too wide. The total snare bed length across reso? Snare rasp is snare rasp, past a certain point. There’s either enough or not. Anything past enough just adds epicycles. If your that reaching for snare buzz, go full on concert snare with triple strainer. Or pipeband snare with snare beds top & bottom. I’m mounting plates in original holes & putting millennium strainer on mine. Stripping p70 system entirely. Hammered shell BB tone is something I now can’t do without. Unlike the p70.
