Back in June I came across this dirty old Ludwig Club Date or should I say Combo. I dont have a floor tom for it so I guess its a combo for now. The bass drum was missing the front claws, rods, hoop and head. I have finally found the parts and installed them. The hoop I bought is 1.5" tall by 21" dia. . The hoop that came with it was 1.75" tall and 20 5/8" diameter. I knew the new hoop was smaller in hieght but thought gee here is a hoop with bsp inlay, 20" diameter and whats the chance of finding that again! After putting it together I am a little dissapointed that the claws dont wrap around the hoop very good. Its obvious that I do not have the correct hoop but whats the chances on getting a sbp inlay hoop that is 1.75" by 20 5/8" ??? I think I will hold on to the new hoop and keep looking for it.

I was just happy to see the new face on the bass drum and wanted to show it off. Good day to ya!
