I just picked this one up today. From what I can tell its all original and the BDP wrap is in really nice shape, although still filthy since I haven't had the time to polish it up. Any suggestions as to what products or processes would be most effective on the nickel hardware would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Leedy & Ludwig Bdp Snare
Very cool old drum my friend, congrats!
Nev-R-Dull (wadding) or Cape Cod Cloths will do the trick on the nickel.

Sharp looking drum..
t-rods are non original.........
L and L made some GREAT looking BDP..........40's version of Leedy pretty much.......
LOL - They're shiny chrome! The rest of the hardware is nickel over brass. Much more mellow look to the nickel. I prefer NOB as opposed to COB. Nickel looks richer!
Get some nickel tension rods and the drum will match up nicely.

I guess this is another case where my one "functioning" eye failed me (lol). Now that I've actually taken a closer look it certainly is obvious.DOH I'll definitely search for some NOB rods to match the rest of the hardware. I really do like the looks of this drum!
It's a bona-fide classic!

I have LOTS of nickel t-rods.....
if anyone has a pic of 1,with a ruler by it to show me exact dimensions,I may have 16 of them.
Some Cape Cod pads/Novus 2/elbow grease,you will be good to go!
