Whilst at the 60s Ludwig club dates and Keystone Acrolite last night I was thinking wow, this has got to be the best sounding combo I've ever played. So far of course. I recently switched drum rooms in my home to a larger size room and these drums just came alive. Like it's the Swingin' 60s all of again. What's the best combo you've ever played to date, even if only once...?

My late 50's George Way kit. Hands down the best sounding set of drums I've ever played in 52 years of drumming. Warm, FAT, deep, rich tone. Best sounding 20" bass drum I own, and I own a few! The little hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I play them. Love those drums. (Note: The badge was missing on the rack tom when I got the drums. I had an Oaklawn badge so I used it on there, but it's a George Way tom, not Oaklawn, Camco.)

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

In a live situation, the best performing kit I've used was an Austin era Fibes with a 10,14,20. The toms could be tuned very low or high, depending on the gig and the kick was the best 20" I've ever heard. Why did I ever trade that kit?DOH

1967 Ludwig Hollywood Kit. Resonance and sustain so stunning that when performing songs in which I would regularly be required to play rolls and fills, I could simply play one quarter note on a tom and the sound would fill a complete full measure.

My 1970 Ludwig Big Beat kit, 3 ply shells, 22-12-13-16. I often play it with the 12-16 toms and I just can't seem to get away from this kit. I bought a DW Collector's Series kit used a couple months ago, but sold them a few weeks afterwards... they just didn't sound any better than my Luddy's!
