Calling Ludwig Configurations Gurus

Posts: 58 Threads: 25

[FONT="Arial Narrow"][SIZE="3"]Hi Guys! I am interested in knowing more Ludwig confiration names (e.g. Jazette, Downbeat, Big Beat, etc...) I know a few of the popular ones, but am interested in the 13,14,16,18,24 that I have seen quite a bit of in the 70's. Does this one have a name? Feel free to shoot out whatever configs that you might know. Greatly appreciated![/SIZE][/FONT]

LOL! That IS excellent, David! What I was calling a "Big Beat" configuration was really a "Super Classic".

I stand corrected! Burger Kin

what they call the silly 12-13-14-16-18-24?

Had the triple tom mount on the bass drum...

I only have a '79 catalog and that weird crap is long gone.

Quoted post

The names just signified the drum sizes, they used the same shells and hardware.

Back then they did not have the variety of different levels of drums like they do now. Ludwig did make the Standards, which was a different hardware and less expensive set of drums.
