I love stuff like this! Saw this on Craigslist and thought they were 60's and 70's vintage Ludwig Drums with the wraps taken off only to find out they were 50's and 60's drums wrapped if formica. Massive work to be done on these with some holes to fill and edges re-worked but love the mystery that awaits underneath that formica! My initial analysis of the situation is 22 by 12 kick with 12 by 8 tom from the 60's. No extra holes on the 12 but the 22 is mangled with the dreaded later diamond plate treatment through the re-ring. These 2 pieces I am guessing (hoping) were sold together as an original New Yorker set. The floor tom is obviously a 14 inch Clubdate with some possible extra holes from the later ludwig floor tom leg mounts and legs added. Unless they had it customized by Ludwig at the factory but I highly doubt it and fully expect to find some holes drilled when I take this apart. The other tom is also a 12 but since it has no paint on the interior I am guessing a little earlier 50's WFL. Once again extra holes for the addition of a later ludwig tom mount. I am taking off the hardware and giving them a bath today and getting them ready for formica removal!. More pics to come but here is how they came home from the sellers place.
