You’re adding 2 nodes when putting heads on. I tune both a minor third less than the overall pitch I want

Makes sense

Outstanding video!

The audience doesn't hear the drums from behind the kit like the drummer does. So one can argue that's not an accurate representation of the sound either. Also those mics are nowhere near your ears so it's not really an accurate sound either. See where I'm going with this? It's all good.

Check out the Lignum Drums True Solid shells, one piece of wood hollowed out to a drum. Sounds fantastic!

Just couldn't resist saying "It will make your dums sound better" We all know better!

Thank you for this video, never knew how to do this until now!

Ply is most solid for touring. Closet drummers get the steambent/stave shells for luxurious self indulgence. They also sound better.

I like that you are addressing drum sound using the physics of modal vibration. But I don't think you've identified the shell mode that is most strongly excited when you strike the head, and thus is the greatest modal contributor to sound. The shell is forced by tension variation in the batter head. When the head is struck in the center, it deflects downward and tension is increased. This pulls the bearing edge slightly toward the central axis of the drum. Then the restoring force in the head pulls it close to flat and back up higher than its initial (quiescent) state, which again increases head tension and pulls the bearing edge inward. Like the guitar string example, this oscillation continues as the "note" is sustained. Interestingly, the inward forcing on the bearing edge occurs at twice the frequency of the head vibration, as the edge is pulled inward twice for each oscillation of the batter head. Of course this is a simplified explanation; there are many modes excited when the head is struck, and I've reduced the complexity by stating the head was struck in the center so the vibrations are concentric. This symmetry is broken if the head is struck elsewhere, but most of the energy is still in the symmetric fundamental mode. So the shell mode that is excited is primarily that which responds to forcing at the bearing edge, which is similar to a vibrating beam mode, think glockenspiel. Most industry marketing is bogus but the concept of nodal points where some drum makers mount lugs to minimize energy transfer to the hardware does have some merit. Whether it affects sound quality is debatable but at least it is logically consistent and experimentally verifiable. -amateur drummer, professional physicist

Does phase matter as much for live sound only? Also does this mic placement work well with a large 7 piece drum kit?

I was one of the lucky buyers of the pre-production samples. I love this throne because the throne was the only component of my gigging kit that weighed more than everything else. This throne design is still great after a year. I only have a few suggestions for slight improvement - will post a follow up video soon!

What I need is a way to attach a double tom mount to a bass drum that doesn't have a mount. I find that I can set up a drum set faster when the Tom's are mounted on the bass drum since I will then always have them in the same place. I also prefer bass drum mounts to racks.

Would love some type of retrofit for slingerland tom brackets

Poplar lover here, the tone/sound is so comforting when playing for me.

Hey, We Interested in a Collab with you? Let us know how to connect!

excellent thxs

ever hear of Glyn Johns? recorderman ? ... unbelievable.

Does this come with 12.7mm L arm? Or can i use my existing 12.7 ball arm

work on not clapping your hands while you speak. It's distracting. Otherwise, keep up the great work and design. it's great to see people that like to solve a problem and make a high quality product.

I was at a PASIC convention 15 years ago, working light & sound for the Hyatt Regency, holding the event at the Convention Center here in Columbus OH. Anyways, I was standing behind a Ludwig Drums family member and Johnny Carson’s old drummer, Ed Shaunessey, when Bill Ludwig said “a drum is a drum is a drum” - meaning - we’ve been stretching animal skin over logs and hitting them with tree branches for hundreds of thousands of years. There’s only two drums: good sounding drums and bad sounding drums. All the peripherals? It’s just so much “stuff” - now, were they drinking at the bar when all this was said? Yes. But a drum is a drum is a drum. The good ones sound best. It’s ALL subjective.

Shells do not resonate, they are a cylindric body to bear the heads you strike

Uh . . . Have a look at the very gradual bed slope that Ludwig has been using for many decades.

I'm sorry, but these drums can give any other drum kit, in the same sizes, from any other drum company, a run for their money, especially that kick drum.

ㅠㅠ

Turns out I liked the walnut the best in all three rounds an the tulip the least. Didn't dislike any of them and the difference wasn't huge, so all in all the type of wood doesn't matter that much, but at least it tells me there is a difference.

Very interesting 🤔

That kick sounds huge and can easily pass for a 22"

You guys have really cut out a unique niche for yourselves. These are some of the best drums I've heard in a long time🥁💪

I couldn’t care less. All I want is a high quality shell with precision bearing edges and I can do the rest with a drum key and my ears.

That’s a beautiful and great sounding kit.

Studio trick Live sounds awful

My goodness these sound outstanding, especially the mid tuning. 🤯

lo sapevo gia' :)

I love to hear your thoughts on the Peavey Radial Pro 1000 kit. No longer in production but utilised a very racial design over conventional drums. I would assume most of the principles you've discussed here will still apply but golly, those drums exploded when you hit them hard. The most impressive sounding drums I have ever heard. They looked weird which is probably what they didn't take off. Also, the Welch Tuning System Drums have applied some really interesting concepts about tuning, and they sound fantastic too.

Short, informative, on point, no bullshit. Great video! 👍

Good is talking trash. The note of a raw shell means nothing anyway. Add lugs, strainer, muffler screws, holders not to talk abt. adding strength and stress by rims.

Does the BR2 work on both Ludwig large and small classic lugs ?

Regarding heads; is it fair to assume a thiner head will tune lower than a thicker head? For instance, say, an Ambassador on batter and a Diplomat on reso, how will they combine?

So where does the crash go?

What’s the ride? Drums sound good.

I was literally just wondering if this could be an option!

garbage

Awesome Collab!

That looks great. I saw Dylan's video on his gigging kit, which is really cool. I think your lug design is brilliant, but I can definitely see the value in this tuning system. How much is the weight difference between the INDe lugs and the WTS system? Also, is it possible to get this system on a wayfarer kit?

Cool

It's like single tension, rope tension, and 2024 had a baby

Is that Dylan's kit? Looks great!

Cool, but my 20 year old Canwood snare has this.
