1959 Ludwig 'Las Vegas' Hardware

Posts: 65 Threads: 27

Hello hello!

I am putting together a 1959 Ludwig 'Las Vegas' cocktail drum, and need a couple more pieces to complete the puzzle.

I am looking for the snare arm, and bass pedal. I would greatly appreciate any info as to where these things are hiding:confused:

I'm still looking for these two pieces. Let me know if you have one that you wouldn't mind parting with...

I just "discovered" the Las Vegas and Miami Beach Cocktail sets in the Ludwig catalogs today. I think one would make a great collectable! I found a couple of 16X24 drums "cocktail" drums on ebay, but these apparently never had the bottom head for the bass.

Thinking about trying to do what you are in "restoring" a cocktail set I searched for reversable bass pedals. Found a very old one at: www.vintagedrums.com under hardware. May not be what you need.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Thanks for the heads up on that pedal :)

Unfortunately it is not what I need, though. In fact I already have a couple of these that I am getting by with for the time being.

Zoom in on that...pretty strange pedal, eh?
