I'm not a Ludwig expert per se, but I'll tell you what I know. The finish is called Black Diamond Pearl. Sometimes is can fade to what looks to be a...

First of all, I recognize the marketing hype and B.S. involved with resonance systems, heads, low mass lugs, etc.... The reason I put the ISS mount...

Is this a TDR snare? If so, you could use 15" Puresounds without a problem. Personally, I think Puresounds are the best for vintage snares. I would...
