Dang! I am slow! The DISAPPEARING cymbal holder. Got it for real this time. Those are hard to find. I've searched for one at a reasonable price for several months now. No luck. They want too much for them. I've seen one or two on ebay, but I've never won them. They do come up every now and again. Not often, though. Maybe someone on the forum has one. I will say that other American drum makers offer similar items. Not Ludwig original, but until you find the exact one you are looking for, it will at least allow you to fill the hole and play. Something to think about.In my own defense, Ludwig had switched over to the L-arm cymbal holder by the time they made your kit. That's why I was so confused at first (and second, and third). So, a bit of understated pity might be in order.

Hey! I'm down, already. Stop kicking me! Toilet I kid. Seriously, though, I didn't realize that holder was available so deep within the 70's. That's another great example of Ludwig selling / using up old stock. Another good education from Luddydude! Great job.
