Bringing my limey out of hibernation for past year. This is probably my most prized drum set. It's an early 70s maple Ludwig that I totally rebuilt and customized. A new comparable one is over $3000. I paid less than $200 for it with cymbals and original hardware but it was in very rough shape and every drum, including the bass, was missing the reso hoop.

Check my two latest videos from the Rio Grande. I wanted to get some sun, play my djembe, and do some grounding. Grounding, also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth. This practice relies on earthing science and grounding physics to explain how electrical charges from the earth can have positive effects on your body. Search it online for more information.
