1965 Ludwig Classic WMP

[AZBill]

That's a nice purchase. Clean the drums; not sure about the heads.

Enjoy those.

thats the set i was looking at in the pics nice score is it a downbeat or classic "sweeter than a wine softer than a summer night"

[Rockiezz]

How do you tell the difference? This is still basement fresh, really excited!

I think that's a classic, 13,16,22, the downbeat would have been a 12,14,20, very nice drums, congats!

[Rockiezz]

Yes Classic 13, 16, 22. Nice to know.

Beautiful drums you have there.I used some watered down Dawn dishwashing liquid with an old t shirt to clean my 47 WMP radio king,and it did a great job.Just be careful not to let it drip into the interior of the shell and especially keep it away from the date stamp..it will wipe it right off.

Thanks tamadrm, I just did a set of Ludwig Standards, used Novus 2 and Turtle Wax and they came out like new. The insides are in pretty good shape so they'll just get a dusting. I'll go all out and wrap the lug springs in felt and so on. I'm sure i'll post pictures when all done.

Those truly are "classics"! The WMP wrap is the classiest of all the vintage wraps IMHO. Visions of Krupa and Rich abound every time I see one! Looking forward to seeing your pics once you clean 'em up. I've used Meguiar's ColorX on my WMP kits several times in the past and have been totally totally thrilled with the results each time.

White Marine Pearl and Black Diamond Pearl are the classiest wraps ever made.

Beautiful set of drums.
