My Ludwig at the gig.

Here's the back end of the Drums!

That’s so funny

Here is my 1965 Ludwig Super Classic kit with matching Pioneer snare.

Here is my 1969 Ludwig Standard Blue Strata set I've owned for 41 years.

My early-mid 70's 3 ply kit I've assembled starting with my 4 piece kit I bought used in 1976. All era matching except the 8" & 10" dated to the early 80's.

Here are my late 70's, Pro Beat Thermogloss.

Also, here are a favorite set of Ludwig's, once owned by Carl Palmer.

Thinking of selling his kit.

The most Blue I’ve ever seen in Oyster Blue, March 17 1964 date stamped Pioneer.

St. Patty’s Day Drum!☘️

My first time trying to upload some pictures. Let's see if I have done this right :)

Here are some Ludwig drums I have added to my gear list in the last year. First up I found a '65 Jazzfest in red sparkle. I fell in love with it, and have been looking to add to it ever since. A few months ago I was in Saskatchewan and got a line on a '67 red sparkle kit that needed some love. I brought it home and have been getting it gig worthy. The kit is 22"/13"/16". The bass drum was in rough shape on the outside, and someone had painted it black inside, then blue. Yikes! I found a '65 shell at a local shop that was in much better shape, so I swapped it out. I have all the original hardware, however I want to use this kit, and so I have updated a few things. I replaced the bass drum spur mounts and cymbal arm mount with modern Ludwig versions. They allow me to use the notch and memory lock to help keep them from slipping. I also switched out the rack tom mount with one from inde drum company. It is an isolation mount of sorts, and required no drilling. Works much better than a snare stand or the original mount (imho). Also, I replaced the consolette with a modern DW one. Again, no drilling was required, and it is much more sturdy and adjustable. The only modification it required was to replace the carriage bolts, as the DW ones are too thick for the Ludwig holes in the shell.

Also, I added a '63 Supraphonic this year. It is a gorgeous drum that I love playing.

Then a few weeks ago I found a '67 Acrolite with the manufacture date stamp that matches the day my wife was born. I have never had an easier time convincing her that we should buy another snare drum. "Look honey, it was made the same day as you". :)

Anyway, that's if for now. Thanks for looking.
