Very nice. Interesting how my old B/O 1980 snare resembled your 40's snare; I know little about Ludwig's line and history. What's the do-hickey on t...
14 years agoEvans Hydraulic heads.....
I've used Evans Clear hydraulics (with G2 reso's) for years on my 70's Gretsch toms (12, 13, 14 & 18 FT) with pleasant controlled tones; the 18 FT was...
