Ludwig Clubdate Overhaul

Loading...

From auto.pilot

I will play these drums on our New Year's Eve gig. Might be a combo of chrome and nickel hardware - but I'm determined to make it happen!jim

Chrome and nickel is par for the coarse when dealing with clubdates.

I like Drums...

And other Ludwigs of that vintage. Local shop's got a real nice set of Classics in blue sparkle. Nickel on the floor tom, all the rest chrome. According to "The Ludwig Book", that's not uncommon.....

Cool kit. I love Clubdates. The 20" bass drums sound awesome.

The gig was a blast. The place had a capacity sign that said 70.... Our 3rd set started at 12:30, and a huge ballroom down the hall shut down at 12:30. Id guess that at least 150 people packed in there for our last hour. the most fun gig i've ever done
