Remember when Neusonics cost $999 for a 3 piece kit? I remember. The original tagline was "A made-in-America kit for under $1000!" Now, the new version of the Neusonics cost $1800 to $1900 for a 3 piece kit.

....and they had those awful "stiletto" spurs! I got mine then and it's a great kit still! Ludwig owes all of us early buyers a set of elite spurs in my opinion!
@kevinnadeau64726 ай бұрын
Agreed. That still doesn't change the way I feel about the kit. Incredibly light to lug around and it has that classic Ludwig sound.

What are you expect? I remember when I could go food shopping for $200 and now it cost $350 such as life.

how much did you give for it? I found an older 2020 Digital Black Oyster for 1700 3 pieces.. not sure if the 2020 oysters are on the same level as the ones now in 2024?

Maple and Cherry makes me hungry. I've gotten my kick drums professionally cut down to size (I'm not trying that for the first time lol). Glad we can have a variety of 14, 16, and 18 depths with modern drum manufactures.

About 3 yrs years ago it was affordable. Used to go on sale for $999 ish. The kit that was built for the working drummer who couldn't afford a Classic Maple or Legacy Maple. At least they've improved the finishes on the Neusonic. 😛

Excellent video! They sound amazing! Where does this line stand in Ludwig's current offerings? Is it consider a pro drum set, or midrange? Just curious.

Mid range made for the gigging professional, to intermediate player. But definitely pro sounding, pro quality build..

how to choose between Neo Sonic Digital Black Oyster for 1700 dollars (is from 2020 right??, but are they as good as the new ones in 2024?) Gretch Catalina club and jazz for 800 dollars? (is it still good?) or PDP Daru Jones New Yorker 1300 dollars? (is it just a marketing gimmick?) or the Sonor AQ2 jungle kits? (are these stable and serious?) ... Any advice?! what is truly good and will last for long? thanks!
