Love the classic Ludwig drum set, made in Chicago. That drummer is very impressive, could listen to him all day.

[@JDCAMP32792]

I really dig the video man. You should post more often. Id love to see more Tool covers and videos like this.

[@ozoz2931]

This is still the best demo of a Ludwig CM downbeat on KZbin!

[@antoniorosa9685]

Bellissimo video grande padronanza e bellissima batteria avuta anni fa. Suono strepitoso.

[@Brewkowsky07]

Incredible rolls around the kit! Any chance you'd do a quick lesson on those? Really nice kit!

[@vincentbuonora8477]

So smooth, great groove, fluid around the drums, really rocks, need tyo write a book of your moves…

[@sean7343]

Awesome! DW guy here, but those classics sound amazing. More of an old school sound and tremendous chops!

[@that-avr-drummer]

Classic Maples, Keystone X and Legacy.....can't go wrong with Ludwigs!!!!!!!

[@Tiger_Smash59]

That snare sounds bangin'

[@haydendraycott7897]

That snare is something else!!!

[@TylerNeil]

That kick is heavenly.

[@georgianalabella7852]

Great 👍 Hands. I Enjoyed The Solo. Pete sr

[@scottyh1509]

That copper snare drum is perfect....Ludwig snares are amazing.

[@Emperorjones]

Great fluid feel to your playing and grooves. And that hammered snare... hoooweee! Very nice.

[@roybeckerman9253]

Ludwig has a distinct open sound, that not all drums have. Some kits sound too muffled or plasticy . That’s why many of the greatest drummers have used Ludwig . Truly stood the test of time. Beautifully played here, but personally, I prefer a Supraphonic snare.

[@jmdrummer7]

Nice drums, nice playing, 4 drums, 2 cymbals, and hats......perfect.

[@SgtThump]

This is one of my top 5 drum videos on KZbin.

[@avelinomayoral7670]

Those drum are tuned great! Oh thats because they are classic Ludwig maple drums.

[@georgianalabella7852]

This Man is Solid Around The Set. And The Set Is Beautiful. Pete sr

[@roybeckerman9253]

Top sound and demonstration. Great drums too, help of course. Sound as good as vintage.

[@decemberagents1401]

Ludwigs always have such nice bass even on smaller drums.

[@snareaddict]

Great playing, man! I have one of these kits in the Black Diamond Pearl finish. Very versatile

[@bobfarwell7872]

Nice drums and drumming! Any chance you could post a video lesson of what you are soloing at the 2:15 - 2:30ish mark? Also some similar sweet stuff starting at 4:50. Great Stuff!

[@skylark183]

[@philippepaillas8781]

Excellent ce son purement vintage Bravo JH

[@michaelphillippi4676]

The small tom hardware is unusual is that a new kit? And the shell finish is vintage white pearl. I ordered Ludwig kit in 1963 in black oyster pearl right after ringo played in US. Was leaning towards white until I saw the black on tv. I still like the white. Still have the kit. The drummer has some sweet hands. I like his style. Great job. Send more

[@daffyshakilfur3563]

[@GaryRayMathis]

You rock Jon... Keep posting. To long between videos

[@chezchezchezchez]

u da man! Very good playing!

[@roybeckerman7843]

Love the sound of these, however the 14” floor tom, just lacks something. The bigger ones definitely sound better..

[@garytoro2]

Very nice 👍

[@josephmiheli5550]

tasty chops!

[@reformedstoic1320]

Sounds great. I'm thinking I want these sizes for my next kit, but maybe with a wood that is a bit darker. Any way, cheers!

[@pawelmorrison]

Sweet playing sir!

[@KyleTupperMusic]

Tasty grooves man!

[@billytrance6893]

GREAT set! Love the sizes and the rack tom rail mount is perfect! Any complaints with this drums?

[@EnricoGarciaDrums]

nice playing man!!

[@norberthegyi2618]

COOOOL!!

[@michaelvidales90]

Solid!

[@pbldrum]

Jon! What is that hand technique you use at :35-:40? Very impressive! I know these new Classics are 100% (I own a new blue/olive oyster pearl kit). But you really make these drums snap! Thanks for posting.

[@GrassRoots-fp4ty]

Those drums sound fantastic!! You got a sub from me.

[@DustyCowdog]

Like a boss!

[@peteveneto4579]

Great sounding kit and very nice playing. I actually am waiting on delivery of the new Classic Oak kit in the same sizes. What is your bass drum tuning technique if you don’t mind me asking.

[@Brewkowsky07]

Beautiful kit and nice playing! How do these fit into cases with the Atlas hardware on that bass drum? Would you need to use, say, a 13" case for the rack tom to accommodate for the mount sticking out further that the rest of the lugs?

[@louishebert6422]

WoW quelle sonorité

[@lomagistrodrums]

Ambassador coated on the kick too???

[@JH_Drums]

Yep! With a felt strip for muffling.

[@progression_decibel]

Gonna pick up one of these kits too, great sound! How did you tune your toms and kick? If you used any tools like a DrumDial or TuneBot or did them by pitches (notes) kindly share the numbers, much appreciated!

[@JH_Drums]

+Dominick Velardo Coated ambassadors top and bottom on the toms. Resonant side about a 3rd higher in pitch than the batter. Coated ambassador on the bass drum batter as well with the resonant side tuned a 5th higher. (Higher than you'd think!) Haven't had a chance to use a DrumDial on the set yet! Thanks for watching! -Jon

[@ryana6961]

You're alive? Also, how's Berklee and what do you plan on doing after you're finished?

[@tkelly830]

Hey Jon I'm a new sub and am blown away by your talent. How long have you been playing the drums?

[@SPITFIRE-BAND]

Hi Jon, the drums sound really good. How did you tune the kit? Even tension top and bottom on the toms or..?

[@stunichollsmusic]

Great sound... what heads are you using on the toms and bass drum batter?

[@Killenmachine05]

big carter mclean fan huh

[@spuge7778]

Do you got, Ambassador coated heads on top and bottom resonant? Nice sound

[@drumrnva]

Great sound!

[@stephenlandry9061]

Nice Kit, great playing. Another floor Tom would be nice and another crash. Just my 2 cents

[@caspercotton]

this is the best Ludwig classic maple video on KZbin. how do u like the atlas rail mount

[@JH_Drums]

Jorge Pertuz Not a fan. Too bulky for me!

[@caspercotton]

how about the atlas fl tom leg things. do. they fit in a 14x14 bag? I may get this same kit.

[@JH_Drums]

Go with standard floor tom leg mounts. If you're dead set on atlas I'd get a bigger bag!
