1971 Ludwig Super Classic

Loading...

I restored this set which was painted white by a previous owner. Beautiful White Marine Pearl which was actually preserved by the paint I think as there is no fading or discoloration to the wrap.

That's incredible! Must have been a lot of work to remove the paint? How about from around the badges? And, yes, the finish certainly was well preserved!

thanks very much guys. it was quite a bit of work but - let the truth be known - i actually asked a painter who was busy painting my house, to assist me with the cleaning and it made it easier. So credit to him too :-) :-)

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
