Ludwig for Ludwig?

Loading...

This dude wants to trade his Ludwig silver sparkle for mine. His has a 13,16,20, mine has a 13,16,22. He prefers a 22, as do I, the main reason I'm thinking about doing the deal is because his kick has the rail and cymbal mount, I also have a 20 original Ludwig logo head that would go nicely with his kit.

Cool I love the look of the rail mount and cymbal mount, but is the 20 enough for your sound?

Well, we wound up doing a partial trade, he really only wanted my kick and since my toms were less faded than his, we just swapped kick drums. He also threw in $50 for good measure.

I think it looks pretty cool with the rail and L-arm. The 20" kick sounds pretty good and looks very nice with the logo head I had kept from another kit.

Congrats on the trade!!

Could be the lighting, but, the bass looks more ginger-alish compared to the toms...Did the 22 match the aging of the toms?

Cheers

I always thought the 20" bass drums sounded better than the 22" bass drums. I could NEVER get a 13" tom to sound good....the 16 X 16....I guess so...not my cup of tea...Oh well to each his own.

Nope, the 22 was brighter than the toms, it was a put together kit, so I wasn't worried about breaking it up. I bought the 22 off a dude on the Ludwig FB page, the 13 off Reverb and I already had the 16 from the Club Date drums I sold.

I see...Well, looks like you did well on the trade!! Especially, with the extra $50 thrown in...
