#Repost @gregjoymusic - he teased himself by having a go of some of our vintage Supras a few months ago. Sooner or later, everyone needs a vintage Luddy!

With it? Fesh Ambassadors, a new Le Blond snare case and then off to his first sound check for his resident run of gigs at the Royal Court Theatre for the Christmas season.

Love it. #vintagedrums #vintageludwig #vintageludwigdrums #vintageacrolite #acrolite #ludwigdrums #teamremo #snaredrummonday #swag • • • • • •

Thanks to the guys at @adc_drums today for sorting me out with a gorgeous @ludwigdrums_uk 1976 Acrolite! Their attention to detail and customer service is second to none!

I’ve been looking at these drums for over a year, and it hasn’t disappointed! •

Our favourite, WFL III Drums! Or a 'real Ludwig' as some people say.

The brain child of Bill Ludwig III, super high-end, heirloom-grade, crazy beautiful and the sound… Well, when the likes of Ian Paice, Nicko McBrain and Ringo queue up to be the first ones to own a WFLIII snare drum, that tells you plenty. This is one of Bill's 1728N Series drums: 5 ply cross-laminated Mahogany/Poplar shell, 14" x 6.5", brass plated hardware - an absolute stunner!

This is an ex demo model, hence the very special price. Follow the link in our bio to find out more.

So we decided to tune this one up past our usual medium high sweet spot. What do you guys think?

Interestingly, this is one of those drier, warmer 'Pre AG' Supras and even at this pitch, with an Ambassador batter and damper off, it still retains that character! However, this one was quite comfortable sitting medium. This drum has a great, open, low-end to it.

To have a closer look at this one and check out the other vintage drums we have in, follow the link in our bio.

Le Blond Cases! Yes they’re still made in England. Yes they’re still made by the Le Blond family. Yes they’re still hand made!

We love HardCases but they’re pricey and heavy! All these beautiful vintage drums we hunt down survive decades of gigging because of Le Blond cases. We’ve struck a new deal with the Le Blond family and can now get any case your heart desires! They do custom with pretty quick turn around times too!

Check out what we have up online so far – click the link in our bio. More to follow, including some exclusive pack deals!

Beautiful. The last time we had a tasty Red Sparkle wasn’t that long ago and it was a corker too! However, the last one was a Big Beat, this is a Super Classic. Classic by name, CLASSIC by nature!

Modern sparkle finishes rarely tickle our fancy but these old wraps have a depth and vibrancy to them. ‘Sparkling Red Pearl‘, as it was officially called, is often the most striking of them too. And listen to the thing! She ain't just a pretty face!

Agop Signatures - special stuff. When it comes to Istanbul Agop, these are up there with the 30th Anniversaries and Mantras in our mind. When it comes to this line of cymbals, Istanbul's own words serve the purpose best: "The master cymbalsmith Agop Tomurcuk lived a life dedication to hand made craftsmanship and innovation in cymbal design. His small notebook contained a lifetime of cymbal making secrets and ideas for the eventual creation of this series. These cymbals are made according to these exacting specifications. They were the last project of his life. The Agop Signature Series are extremely dark, trashy, dry and complex." They’re not that easy to get hold of so we don’t even advertise all these cymbals online but if you fancy one, get in touch – contact details in our bio.

Sparkling Red Pearl Super Classic! ...with original heads too! No wonder this thing is in such good nick! It does look like it's been played, judging by those heads, but it's so tidy, it must have been in cases for the past few decades! This might just be a collector's piece... We'll get this up at some point this week. Wanna jump the queue? Get in touch! Check the link in our bio for the other vintage drums we have in!

Pitted shell, tarnished hardware, missing it's damper... why, it is a Luddy 400 of course!

And this one sounds a beast too. Clearly a work horse drum judging by the pitting. And if you listen to it, you can hear why it has been gigged so much - it sounds mega!
