Where did you get the drumhead?

beatlejon · Post by **beatlejon** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 5:16 pm

Thanks guys. I had the drum head custom made about 8 years ago...I dont remember who exactly made it?

Wow, Jon, really cool stuff--tell me about your drum kit?

beatlejon · Post by **beatlejon** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 3:41 am

Thanks...the Ludwig black oyster kit is a vintage kit from 1968...with all matching Ludwig flatbase cymbal stands....I also have a second set in the background.

Nice, Jon!
Have any close-ups of your Ricky bass?
Looks interesting.

"Where did you get the drumhead?"

if you go to ebay and do a search, ie. "beatle drum head", you usually come up
with a few ...some are better than others. In the Toronto area there is, or at
least was, a company called TDR Graphics (in Oakville) that makes a really
good one.

Interesting bass, Jon!
Laminated neck, round heel, no 19th dot, square bridge pu surround?
B series? Converted 4001S?
What year is it?
