ludwig

Hello, I was browsing Bob Ludwig wikipedia page and found out this picture.

I'm looking for a Ludwig kick drum sample 26x14. I recorded one and am not completely happy with the results of the solo kick mic. If anybody has a single hit of a 26x14 kick drum sample/ludwig, I'd really appreciate it. I bought Addictive Drums, but that didn't work too well.

Thanks,
Nate

i hear so much about him and when i look at his client list it's like war and peace, but what is it that makes him so good? I heard two different albums of a band, one mastered by bob and the earlier album was someone else, and all i could tell was that bob cranked it really loud and it was less open than the earlier album(but of course it would sound good on the radio...yippie). I really prefered the earlier guy the band got that gave them a more open dynamic album. This is only one instance of his work, but is this generally the case? Do people go to him for a hot mix?
