Ludwig Drums
I bought a used Ludwig kit today. Let me know if they sound like $250 worth. I was very excited. Here is a recording I did to test them out. The cybals kinda suck but...I had a ton o' fun. Does it matter that this isn't in the MP3 section?....I don't care. And we already had someone complain about that...

Re: Ludwig Drums
Kinda of topic, but is that Better is one day?? Sounds a lot like it, especially the bridge. My worship band did a real cool version of that, we did it a little funky. Using F#m and C#m7 during the chorus instead of A2 and Bsus. Its weird hearing that song hear. Pretty cool.

Re: Ludwig Drums
HOLY CRAP....that's wierd that you recognized it! I lead worship for a youth group and this is my favorite song that we do. I plan on doing a better version tommorrow. *edit* To a metronome! just took another listen...and ewww.
I don't know if that's a Bsus, but it is some kinda B. I put almost all the songs we do in the key of E. I pretty much just play power chords with the b and e strings open...

Re: Ludwig Drums
I play it the same way, i also lead worship for my youth group and play guitar in the worship band. I love playing in the key of E, the open b and e string sounds cool and kinda worshipful. It is a Bsus. The E is the fourth in the B chord...MichaelAlan wrote:HOLY CRAP....that's wierd that you recognized it! I lead worship for a youth group and this is my favorite song that we do.

Re: Ludwig Drums
Bsus? What is that blasphemy? Everyone knows God's favorite chord is Gsus!
haha, sorry, it's been done, but I still like it.
It is a good worship song in all seriousness.
But regarding the drums... $250 is a great deal for any set, especially a ludwig. Is it classic? Then it especially is.
The snare drum sounds nice.
But when it all comes down to it-- I couldn't tell you whether a drum kit sounds good without sitting behind it, or at least hearing it in person, or at least hearing it on a record. An unmastered MP3 rough draft type thing of all things won't say much about the sound of the drums...

Michael: have you ever heard of Eric Myers? He is an awesome worship songwriter. I highly suggest checking out his songs.

No, but thank you, I will. I am becoming a David Crowder fan. I met him at GMA last year and he's a friggin wierdo, but Illuminate is a good record.

Re: Ludwig Drums
I gotta say- I hate suspended chords. With a passion. Love Jesus, hate those chords.

Well..I'm not a talented guitar player and it's easy to play this way.

Re: Ludwig Drums
Im not a fan of newer ludwig drumsets, but their snares are simply 'the' snare drums. Ludwig black beauties and supraphonics have been the standard for over 80 years. cant argue with that.
