Hi folks!

I recently got myself a 1968 Ludwig Standard snare in ruby strata finish... Initially i bought it just for curiousity, all i knew about the Standards was that they were just a kind of low budget series... Well, despite the low price, i've been surprised by the sound, which is great to my ears (step by step the Standard is more often replacing my Dynasonic and even my Supra in recording sessions)! Lately i decided to build my own Standard Kit, i've found a 20 bassdrum and a 12 rack tom as well, both in good conditions... What i'm missing, and seems so hard to be found, is a matching floor tom. Living in italy doesn't ease the things up, since the Standards are quite hard to find! That's why i'm asking you, vintage drums heroes, to help me winning my battle! Storm Trooper

Is there anyone of you which has got, or knows someone else owning a ruby strata standard floor tom? I'd prefer a 14 one, but in the end i'd be glad to get even a 16 one, if possible... Forgive my too many words, but i'm kinda desperate!

P.S. On Ebay there' s only one selling a complete kit... Obviously no single pieces...

thanks in advance!
