I have the chance to pick up the drums pictured here for $100 (and a one-hour drive, each way). They look interesting, but my eyes aren't good enough to identify any of them. What do y'all think?
Can anyone identify the drums in this blurry photo?
Looks like a set of Ludwig Standard with a red colored Strata wrap to me.
Well I actually have no experience with Ludwig. I know that sounds strange, but it's the one brand of drums I haven't owned (a 1935 Leedy is the closest I get). How are they for quality, etc? Worth my time and cash?
$100? hardware and cymbals? Definitely.
Yes, you can see the Standard badge on the snare....which happens to be missing a lug. Looks like they're rough, but worth the $100 for sure.
Yeah, I realized how stupid that question was as soon as I clicked "submit." Unfortunately, another buyer beat me to the drums. So, I guess I will continue with my Ludwig-less drum collection...
They are somewhat rare now, due to the fact that they were an entry level drum that Ludwig developed. However, they are made with the same shells as the rest of the full professional line, just with freakier finishes and cheaper hardware.
