Thanks to Jack Hertafeld from the Capital Area for your trust with modifying your vintage 60’s Ludwig drum set. Jack picked up this kit recently to record a variety of projects in his home studio and found it was difficult to tune, very limited in it’s available range, didn’t hold tension well, and had wonky overtones that were difficult to suss out.

First the shells were made structurally sound by repairing a variety of ply delaminations and gaps that are byproducts of this era of construction. Then the bearing edges were trued and reshaped, allowing them to marry up well with drumheads, tune easily across a wide range of pitches, hold tension readily, and simply sound and play so much better.

Enjoy, Jack, and best wishes on your future tracking projects with the kit!

VIRTUE: Humility™ 14”x6.5 Walnut Snare Drum with custom Walnut-Zebrawood Hoops, featuring our signature Timbre-Ring design which yields exceptionally warm, open tone by utilizing a thick, asymmetrical round-over edge, allowing the drum to demonstrate a “pre-EQ’d” sound with superior shell resonance when compared to drums with traditional reinforcement rings or thicker shells, while also minimizing the increase in pitch and reduced sensitivity that is inherent in those other shell designs.

The tone of the instrument adapts dynamically to the player’s input, creating a natural compression at higher dynamic levels and a pure sonic decay that you simply won’t find in other drums.
