A psychological Island

When everything goes crazy and "real" life gets in the way, Mr Kramford goes to this place. The mental walk is full of long beaches, endless suns, female voices, romantic desires, missed planes... and congas. Mind and time-traveling to the filming locations of some non-politically correct 70's european movie while leisurely putting its beautiful soundtrack through some old tape echo. So yes, a lot of italian romance and drama (of course); but also, brazilian psychedelics (moody and sensual), german harpsichord (very moody) and french gentle electric keyboards (who's going to stop us?). Hope you get there...

Ludwig snare drums

Maybe a bit too specialized for this blog but this chart below might help someone to make an informed choice when buying a Ludwig classic snare. One cannot go very wrong with a Supraphonic 400 or Acrolyte from the 60's and 70's. These snares did record very well, still record very well and will probably carry on doing a good to great job for decades to come. Obviously, their sound varies (no instruments are born equal) but in my experience, quality and sound are pretty consistent for the whole of that era.
