My $6,065 Drum Set Is RUINED

Routers, sandpaper, screwdrivers and more – you could use these tools to quickly wreck your drum kit. And in the eyes of Ludwig, my USA made Classic Maple drums are done for. But to me, they're STILL the best drums in the world. 🚨 Free Drumless Practice Tracks – Pay what you want to help support these videos. https://slouxrecordingco.bandcamp.com/ ---------------------------------------------------- WORK WITH ME 👉🏼 DRUMMERS – Let's work together on drumming, drum recording, and career coaching topics. https://www.timbaltes.com/lessons 👉🏼 MAKERS/DISTRIBUTORS/RETAILERS – Let's collab on product dev, ops strategy, marketing, and more! https://www.timbaltes.com/consulting 👉🏼 LISTENERS – Learn more about drums AND me through podcasts I've been on. https://www.timbaltes.com/podcasts ---------------------------------------------------- Derek Mantz at MKE Drum Co. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has worked on my drums for many years. He's modified bearing edges, fixed issues on vintage snares, repaired floor toms, and even built me entirely new drums from bare DW shells. In this video, I talk about how he turned my stock Ludwig kit into some of the best drums I've ever used in my life. Plus, I'll talk about how he repaired a WFL snare drum that I thought was completely done for. Drum audio was captured with two Universal Audio Apollo x8p interfaces using 1073 preamp modeling. Mics include: SE Electronics V-Kick (Kick In) Dr. Alien Smith Alien8 (Kick Out) Shure Unidyne III SM57 (Snare Top) - Rode NT55 w/ Cardioid Capsule (Snare Top) Audio-Technica ATM650 (Snare Bottom) Sennheiser MD-421 (Each Tom) AKG C414 TLII Pair (Overheads) Apex 210B Ribbon into Soyuz Launcher (Room) Shure 588SB (Vocal) I use Logic Pro X, Waves Audio plugins, and I believe that all drums are good drums (even roto toms). Oh, and that cool mic cable? It comes from Sorry Cables in LA. – https://www.sorrycables.com/ Questions? I do lessons on drumming, recording drums, social media, and more.
