I use the puresound all the time its my first choice.
Love these heads. Was looking for a retro 80’s sound like Gadd had. Super easy to tune.
Had DW and Yamaha single pedals in the past, looked at a Ludwig pedal to go with the Ludwig kit, heard nothing but good things about this one- and after playing it, it does not disappoint! Smooth, good feel, got some power, great all around pedal-
Classic Pearl hardware, built tough and smooth as silk when tightening the legs on. I won't put any other kind of bracket on my Pearl drums.
Love the sound of this head.
I needed a rubber bass drum tip for my Ludwig drum. I thought this would be an almost impossible item to find new and that I would end up having to get one off an old used drum or forget about it all together. Drum Center of Portsmouth had it at a reasonable price.
They fit well and they’re good for softening the noise when i play
Staff was very helpful. Very happy with the product.
Amazing cymbal, you guys are awesome!!!
What an interesting drum! Excellent workmanship and design. Beautiful dark tone - full and warm. Great addition and a new voice.
I have arthritis and gripping while playing is an issue these days. This finish helps, as well as the balance. Just enough weight, and paired well. Thank you Meinl, and the
little practice pad is very good as well. I grabbed some of the maple sticks as well. The 'waxed' sounded great on my new SLP Hickory snare. Esp rimshots. K in AK.
This drum is a well built, wonderfully chromed, warm sounding maple drum.. I compared it to another suger-maple tom sourced from Taiwan, and it feels more robust, albiet less forward in the sustain department. I exchanged the 2 ply clears for a thin Modern Vintage {both sides}, by Aquarian. Wonderful highs. I haven't hung it yet. I would love to obtain it's 16" brother. I love the finish. I am eying the "Big Softy", next. K in AK.
Cool concept for perfecting your pivot-point, especially when trying new sticking/grip techniques. Sometimes, working for a short time with an 'aid', can help you workout the subtleties and nuances of a thing quickly. A drum teacher would be smart to have a pair of these for his student's use for a few weeks of focused practice when they are first learning how to allow a stick to rebound consistently and until they can replicate the action and develop their grip and pivot with a regular drumstick. One pair of Hingestix as a training-aid could be shared by the students of a teacher for years and years.
This drum was in showroom demo shape, near mint, heads pristine. Lacquer on batter, signs of impact, very localized. Tone galore, rich, lively, big sound, nice sustain.
