The high tuning is where these need to sit. They don't sing at the lower end and end up sounding like a cardboard box. High tuning let's them breath and showcases their resonance. Nice looking kit! Couldn't ask for a better example of how drum kits sound than on this channel!

Noah is the drummer king

Beautiful looking kit, sounds fantastic. I love vintage Ludwig kits, I have a clear Vistalite kit from the mid 70's.

Some sweet skins.

Black Oyster always sounds better than other wrap colors. Why? I don't know why...😊

[@roybeckerman9253]

These modern drum stools are so much better and more comfortable, than the ones Ringo used with his Ludwigs in the 60s…OUCH.
Ringo has been playing Ludwigs since 1963..
One of the few, never tempted by DW. …luckily.
He would have been their biggest scalp…selling out.

Stop playing.
