Question regarding my Ludwig 1960s bassdrum...
I dont have spurs for it. The shell is not collectable anymore (holes) but Id like to use it for occasional gigs.
It looks like it originaly had the gullwing style spurs which I suppose I could find with some effort. However Ive been looking at the Gibralter gullwing medium duty spurs that are inexpensive and seem pretty durable, more so than the OEM spurs. They have the look of the older Ludwig spurs but of course anyone would know they arent the stock spurs that came with the drum.
So...even though its a players drum would I be out of line intalling the Gibralter spurs? I have mixed feelings about this pro and con A) the OEM spurs can be hard to find and dont really stand up that well (I play hard), B) the Gibralters arent original and I would have to drill even more holes.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys might have-
