@dtigers27 Ah I remember when I recieved my first acrolite... It's always a special feeling because those snare are full of history. Hope you like yours. Tell me !
@SWI0001 Thats probably not all of his drums, plus that bass drums and those snares are probably worth double your whole drum set. Alot of people like to minimize for fun and just do the "kick, snare, hat" setup.
I have four Acrolite snare drums as a matter-of-fact. Three of them sound fantastic while the other is out of round from being dropped. These Acrololite snare drums are some of the best snare drums fontastic. Then I own a newer on that some nick name the (blocrolite). This drum has gained a bad rep due to it coating. My opinion is that the newer one I have sounds better then the others I have.
I have a Ludwig snare that belonged to my older brother that I found sitting in th barn loft, I took it to my local music shop to get fixed, andit has a blue and olive badge on it. I asked my bro and he said it was about 20 years old. It's chrome, but has nothing else and I found it with a Ludwigdb-300 bottom head on it. can anyone tell me an idea of what it is? thanks
The last snare does it for me, great cracky sound and nice "ping", you need to hammer the rims more :) Great recording too, drums should sound like this on record more...
my bassist (who is a drummer on the side) found an 80's acrolite in the trash, with a case and everything. It sounds great and we're even recording with it.
It's only a 22*18. Very minuscious tuned, with a Powerstroke 3 batter & a Ambassador resonnant with a small O-ring, and very important : nothing inside the bbass drum ! This is the most important thing for me. You have to let your bass drum breathe.
nice steve gadd licks on the first acrolite!
