Hi @Steve Maxwell Drums. GRETSCH Brooklyn or Ludwig Classic Maple, which one do you prefer?

[@Onyxaxe]

This setup is gorgeous. What stands were used?

[@jake-maxwelldrums]

Canopus for the cymbals (lightweight flat base hi-hat & Jeff Hamilton stand), DW 7000 for the tom/snare stands

[@Onyxaxe]

@@jake-maxwelldrums Thank you!

[@phaedrabandatlanta]

All of your drums sound great. What do you think about players still cutting holes in the reso heads ?

[@stevemaxwelldrums]

To me, cutting a hole in a reso head destroys the sonic chamber. Only reason to do this would be if in a rock-style gig scenario where there needs to be a mic inside the bass drum. At this point, the sound of the true bass drum itself is irrelevant because what is heard in the audience is a front-of-house engineer’s “eq-d” concept of a bass drum.
