Heya, just got this ludwig set really cheap. Bought it originally to use the hardware on a 18x12 vistalite shell I have. This set has the larger lug spacing so it lives to see another day. Guy i bought it from said its from the 70's, but it has a weird badge and sizes. Sounds awesome though. No other badges on the kit, other than the floor hardware that says ludwig. Any help appreciated!
I've never seen that badge, but the tom mount is 80's and the depth of the bass drum makes me think later 80's at least
1970 Ludwig Blue Oyster Super Classic
1977 Rogers Big R Londoner 5 ebony
1972/1978 Rogers Powertone/Big R mix ebony
60's Ludwig Supersensitive
Pearl B4514 COB snare ( the SC snare)
Pearl Firecracker
PJL WMP maple snare
Odds & Sods
Sabians, Paistes, Zildjians, Zyns, UFIPs, MIJs etc
Item may be subject to change!
That's an interesting kit for sure. I'd have to guess that it's an imported Ludwig due to the badge being different than normal and not having 'USA' on it or even a circle R. I'd also guess it's from the 90s. -But I could be way wrong on all counts- just guessing.
Never seen that badge before either. Very cool! I was going to say Jazzette??
Modular hardware says 80's. Badge only on bass drum, might be a homemade Ludwig. Shell inside photo would help. That era would be some pretty thick shells is Ludwigs...bass drum is converted floor rom I bet. If there is no other hardware on small Tom for mounting, then I'd say it definitely pieced together.
