As a huge Belgian Ludwig fan, please allow me to post my first topic on this superb platform.
I purchased my first Ludwig on 23th March 1990 at age 24.
Having played a "Blue-Onyx" Japanese Star for a few years, this Ludwig fulfilled my ultimate "rock" dream and was bought of my 3 very first salaries I've ever earned in my life.
Currently, I am restoring the kit.
Going through the various posts and topics on this forum, I'm a bit confused and find it hard to categorize or value this set. Especially the fact that my set came with the original classic lugs and not as shown on the 1988 catalog with the smaller type of lugs. At the "Vintage Drum Guide" page dedicated to the Rocker series it is mentioned that only as of 1996, the rocker came again with the classic lugs but my set is from late '89 or begin '90.
Can anyone help me out here ?
Please allow me to describe my kit.
