Hello would anyone know anything about this orphaned 14" floor tom
The lugs are very similar to Ludwig classics only without the lines
I have not run into any other Japanese drums with this type of lug before ?
I know that Kent also makes a lug very similar to the Luddy classic (also with no lines)
But these are not those, and the drum is without question Japanese (Asian mahogany)
I have seen these lugs on late 60's M.I.J. Pearl drums.The names i have seen are Northwood,Mindy-{Mr.Coopers brand}-see history of M.I.J. drums on this site..Mikey
Hello Mikey777,
Thanks for the reply, I have seen Westwood but not Northwood
I am glad to read that these lugs are likely Pearl
As much as I like them, if the hole spacing is the same
I may switch them out with some Pearl "Slingerland copy" lugs
as they would match a little better with the Star version Slingerland copy lugs
on the rest of this Star three piece combo
I would love however, to sometime find a full kit that uses these Ludwig spin-offs
