Nothing wrong 1960's timpani ! Many people are still playing older Ludwig or Premier timps. I grew up playing my father's Ludwigs (why I like balanced action) & Premier in youth orchestra. I might do some videos of how they sound, depending on audio quality of my camcorder & also the audio quality most KZbin users hear through various devices. Perhaps I'll use a dedicated digital audio recorder instead of the low quality camcorder microphone etc. Thanks for your comments guys !

i have a set of ludwigs that i use might be late 60's or so

You did not include Ludwig with ratchet???? will you make a video?? this is incredibly helpful,..Thanks
