What are" Ludwig Mark Time Shells"..I've never heard of those.

Ludwig Mark Time were made in 1984 for sure, and I'm not really sure they were made any other time. I'm no expert on them that's for sure. Here's a link to show you what they looked like and where they were in a Ludwig catalog: http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/ludwig_sets/1984_ludwig_drumsets26.jpg

That black drum set on the bottom is what these things would have looked like brand new. It says they were an economy kit that used 3-ply die-mold shells.

84' Standards. Granitone interior. On the plus side, no rivets in the seams. If anyone is interested in these shells, they will take Ludwig Standard or Classic lugs. All hardware that fits the high end Ludwig kits, will fit on these shells too.

I wonder what kind of wood was used to create these 3-ply 'die-molded' shells? Anybody know? Maple/poplar/maple???? The bearing edges look like 45's too which is unusual for Ludwig at that time I think. Standard bearing edges were 30 degree round-overs. The edges on these shells look more like the Rogers 45 degree edge. If the edges are 45's, these drum shells will project like champs.

(If) I was going to buy them for a project, (and I'm not,) I would add rock maple re-rings to the shells. I don't have to tell you what 3-ply maple shells with maple re-rings sounds like, do I?

I think they are a lot like corinthian leather in a an old Chrysler, nothing more than a marketing term.

You have to roll the R's like Ricardo did; 'Fine Corrrrinthian leatherrrrr!'

LOL

Edit: NVM that.

Huge bump for these shells. Really wanting to get them out of the house and to someone who will use them and appreciate them. Not looking to get much out of them, just want a fair offer and someone to take them to make good use of them!
