Ludwig - I guess it's part nostalgia for my first kit in '66, part being 11 when Ringo was on Ed Sullivan, part the years of reading and rereading the catalogs...

Man, I understand and I'm right there with you... I don't like 8 lug snares and almost every snare I own is 8 lug!

Everything made that has a PEARL logo on it is a POS.

*Lots of vintage drums were cheap, poorly made, and sounded thin.
Just because we have a fondness for things made in the 60’s and older, doesn’t automatically make them superior.
* Whereas many give some level of automatic veneration to drums from smaller, custom builders, I tend to think that high level drums made by the largest drum manufacturers have way more r&d, testing, quality control, and value due to economies of scale in production.
I’ve always felt that way about bicycles, and do about drums as well.
Even with that said I recognize these things in my new Inde kit and snare, so I’m softening a bit on that knee-jerk impression.

I’m on the verge of “ unfriending “ you .
I’m with you 100%.
I’ve been burned over the past 1-2 years with ordering beautiful-looking custom made drums from smaller shops/builders, only to have them arrive and not really sound that great. There have been some exceptions, though, with Summit, Oriollo, and Sugar Percussion being standouts and worth every penny.

I think the first Neil statue looked fine.
