Joe Morello tribute kit

Posts: 298 Threads: 39

the arrival of a '64/'65 Supraphonic marks the completion of my Joe Morello tribute set

1966 Ludwig Super Classic in silver sparkle w/ all original hardware including flat base floor stands, hi hat stand and Speed King ... everything Joe would have used.

I don't own any vintage cymbals so I just threw up some Ks in the sizes Joe would have played

I guess next is an old set of As or Paiste 602s ;)

thought you may enjoy a few photos

Great looking kit! I can already hear "Take Five"! Here's a picture of my Joe Morello tribute frame in my drum room. The background is a piece of Silver Sparkle wrap.

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Nice kit. Picked up early 60's glossy a bit ago. Enjoy! [how you like that Sweet Crash? Buddy has a few of those and they sound plush].

awesome !!!

the sweet crash is great

I hated it in the store but was in desperate need of a crash for a gig ... didn't have one ... long story ...

but when I got it home and on the kit I fell in love with it

it serves as a left side ride in jazz situations beautifully as well

The "new" Avedis line of A Zildjians would be about the right sound you would want to replicate Joe's sound from the "Time Out" era. He used A's then and they were not only large, but on the thin side......the Avedis ones would be perfect in this respect. Joe played 14" "medium" hi-hats, a 19" "medium-thin" crash ride, and a 21" "medium" ride at the time.....although the cymbal that is to be purported as THE ONE, is claimed to be closer to a 20" in size than a 21"......its somewhere in between actually. Remember, what we call medium today is rather heavy compared to the late 1950's, so the terms I used in quotes are rather arbitrary.
