70's Ludwig Green Sparkle Drum Set, 14,16,18,26" bass drum, John Bonham Set. Playing And....

[@KickItLikeBonham]

Dude, they sound phenomenal! And you play em' proper to get that sound out of them! I have absolutely loved every minute of this video series. I've always appreciated the support you've shown me, and I'm thrilled to extend such a hearty "THANK YOU!" for all your work in return! I have a few kits I've been slowly refurbishing as time permits, but this has been truly inspiring and has already initiated more momentum in the right direction for me than anything else! Keep making the myths, brother!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thank you 🙏 you've been inspiring me for years! Good luck with the kits! I know they'll turn out great!

Thanks for the shout, Shawn! I really enjoyed this video! Really stunning kit, you did a great job restoring it. You also get a great sound out of the kit, and that's not just tuning. It's the touch.

Shawn, Those drums sound great. You have them tuned perfectly also. I have had that same drum set like your since 1974. I now have the same drums on in a 1970 Slingerland kit. same sizes and Paiste Giant Beat Cymbals from the late 60"s still. These drums sound fantastic.. Good job and you play well also...

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

I started out on a 20/10/12/14 kit. Then bought a premier kit in near Bonham sizes (26/13/16/18)… Made me realise how beastly guys like Krupa and Bonham were, you really have to lay into big drums to get them to sing, and the bigger movements to get around the kit add up!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

For sure, thanks for watching!

[@vazquez808]

they look amazing

Outstanding Shawn! I restore/rebuild drums myself and your work is first class along with your content! On a side note, your voice sounds alot like Rodger Cook of This Old House. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos.

Nobody should have that much fun…….you rock. Is the 402 a Supraphonic? I love the bright 2002 Paistes. I was just thinking this morning how many drummers go with dark cymbals and missed the bright paistes. Living vicariously through ya. Keep it up.

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Yes! 70's supra 402! And thank you 🙏 I love 2002's as well!

HI Shawn. I used to see this Ludwig green sparkle set in a Music store show room and say to myself "damn that's ugly, who would want to get up onstage with that homely looking drum set? JOHN BONHAM WOULD AND DID! I still think it's ugly, Ha!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

All good man! Like everything it's subjective! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@manonbassguitar]

Sweet🤘🏼

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thanks you!

[@JackNiles]

Hi. I really like the video. What difference does the original atlas cymbal stands effect the way the cymbals resonate? Does it improve the sound? Thanks

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thank you 🙏 No difference just more "period correct" for the set.

[@tonymorra7678]

Kit sounds awesome,do you happen to have any info on the tuning as far as pitch ,I have a similar kit and struggling to get the sound ,you nailed it

[@shawnsdrumcave]

sorry man, i don't, i just tune by ear to what i think sounds good. maybe i'll download a program for that and go over it in the future! Kick it like Bonham has a great video on similar tuning> thanks for watching!

[@ronbaker8383]

John Bonham I believe had a 15 inch rack tom

[@shawnsdrumcave]

[@fabianpaicefan157]

They sound Great and Look Spectacular Beautiful work Shawn A quick question what is that ChromeOwood Kit to the left ? They look to be really Big Sizes Awesome!

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thank you! That's a 70's Ludwig stainless steel set. 14,16,18,24. I have a video on my channel from when I got it but needs an updated video on it as i didn't have all the pieces I have now.

[@fabianpaicefan157]

Thanks Shawn I also have a Big Beat Stainless Kit from 1978 it’s got the optional 24” Kick Drum as well as the 12” 13” 16” floor Tom Great Drums

[@stevenholquin2127]

Is That a Ludwig Stainless Steel Set to The Left Now The Green Sparkle is Cool But That Chrome Set is The One That’s Ether The Original or Reissued Limited Stainless Steel Set Well Let’s See That One Hey Good Job on The Green Set And What Where You Doing in This Little Old Ladies Attic Anyways….? Thank You Also You Got Some Good Bonham Chops….

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thanks brother! It is stainless, original 70's I have a video on my channel of when I first got it but as it sits now it's 14,16,18,24 it needs a good clean up so they may be a future project/video. That little old lady has one of the largest drum collections I've ever seen haha I bought my vistalite set off her too 🤣

[@scottcoughenour5617]

Beautiful Drum Kit! How did you tension the Heads to get the sound? Are the batter and Reso the same tension? Scott

[@shawnsdrumcave]

Thank you! Batters medium, reso's higher. check out "kick it like Bonham" tuning video with his green sparkle set. Pretty much how I tune for that sound.

[@coldsteel998]

Shawn, how much would a 12x 8 black clubdate Tom be worth in good condition?

[@shawnsdrumcave]

I would think around $200 maybe a little more depending on condition and wether it's lacquer or wrap. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I've had people ask if they were forsale but they're not haha I collected drums and planned this set for a few years. Unlike most things I'm really attached to it at this point haha thanks for watching! I ramble and say um a lot so I really appreciate it! 😂
