Love the SCDR! Used it in my first album (link below). My shoulder and hearing problems forced me to move to smaller cymbals after this album, but I love the sound of it. It’s one of the all time greats.
Here’s what I have so far. Drum will be used for rock and backbeat gigs usually with a mic.
14x22 Ludwig 70s 3 ply
Batter: Ludwig powerstroke silver dot
Reso: smooth white powerstroke with 5” hole dead center (Charlie watts style)
What goes in bottom of drum to make it super punchy and full...
all the lines are great. I’ve had RFMs and NV60M2s and since I’ve been craving that Gretsch thing I am now playing NV60M1s. All the drums I’ve had have been exceptional.
