if you want that vintage heavy sound then buy a vintage heavy drum. I have a 70s Ludwig vistalite -w- die cast hoops. very rare size. (try n find it in there catalog) 14 x 7. red. looks like new. you can own it for 300.00? i'm 60 Y.O. played more than my share of kit's. this one beats em all. john bohnam however stuck with his black diamond C.O.B. I had one before. didn't see the big deal. jamcanf at twc dot com
