MikeN Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 If BD switched to Ludwig, they'd have used Yamaha, Dynasty, Pearl, System Blue and Ludwig in the last 20+ years. That's almost a full bingo card. Mike 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did use Premier snares in 1989 - the Yamaha free floaters weren't done yet. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality and the brand died years ago. Drum Workshop owns the Slingerland name now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwig's drums are "me too's" the same way that Dynasty was (BD played them as well), so there shouldn't be any issues. Plus, reef down a Kevlar head and tape the snares, and they're all pretty much the same from 20 yards away. Plus, no no one's sacrificing anything to get Musser's instruments. It's a good move for Conn Selmer and for BD as well, as it saves some face following the implosion of their hardware division. It isn't hard to find a line of percussion equipment better than the System Blue stuff. It just didn't sound good. As you also mentioned, BD cranks the crap out of their snare drums anyway. You might actually be able to hear the tenor line on the field next season though. I thought the SB tenors were especially weak in their projection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier is technically still around, so there's still time for that one. They'll just need Mapex and Tama to make the clean sweep then!

Lol as Westshoremen bought these unis after 1975 season and used them for 3 seasons. Just changed the pants stripe and used our old shakos (which were exactly the same as what you see here).
