This vintage Ludwig rock set is so big, that only the big guys could even play it! 26″ kick with toms 15″, 18″ and 20″… How about the classic Phil Collins sound? Well, that would be the same Yamahas, but without the bottom heads. Designed by the master chef Steve Gadd, the name clearly implies what this drumset is for! Yamaha Recording Custom is yet another classic which survived decades.

Who wouldn’t know the classic Ludwig Vistalite used by the one and only (but not only) Led Zeppelin! And Melda sampled 18 of these combinations. Zildajians, Sabians, Meinl… So many, that it was quite impossible to show all of them at once… At the end Melda counted 42 crashes, 17 rides, 8 hihats, 11 chinese and 10 splashes… and then Melda started stacking them up, which turns out to be just really cool, but let’s face it, not many drummers can afford stacking multiple K Zildjians on top of each other. And there’s no shortage here – the best preamps money can buy, a whole set of analogue equalizers and compressors to give it a bit of the mojo even when dry, and of course the best mikes, such as Neuman U87 and AKG C12. Recording equipment is especially essential when it comes to sampling.
