The Kit Resurrected & packing a punch This one-of-a-kind 1968 vintage Ludwig kit tells an unlikely tale of happenstance - and resurrection. It was found peeking out of a countryside dumpster by renowned Swedish drummer Miikal Häggström while on tour. He could not believe his luck. He carefully refurbished it
• and quite literally brought this ultra-dead kit back to life. Converted into concert toms (without resonant heads)
• this kit is now a custom-built
• meticulously treated thump machine
• packing a serious punch and a boatload of mojo. The Studio The deadest of the dead To get the perfect punchy sound
• you need to control the drumʼs ringing and resonance and the roomʼs reflections. Usually
• you would encapsulate the kit with dampening gobo walls
• and treat the drum heads with dampening material. But this is no usual kit — it's the deadest of the dead. XLN built a custom
• near-anechoic "dead box" in Stockholmʼs legendary Ingrid Studios. Every kit piece was dampened to perfection using classic methods - tea cloths
• towels
• blankets
• tape
• moon gel - you name it. This gives you complete separation and uniquely dead close and overhead mics
• while still having the option to blend in the outside room mics to taste
• with unmatched separation. The result is a beatmakerʼs dream
• where every aspect of the mix can be controlled and pushed to the limit. Crank the processing on individual kit pieces and make your drums SLAP!
