Kit I.D. Help (Please)

Posts: 3165 Threads: 969

I'm hoping that somebody can tell me whether this particular kit is a Ludwig Rocker or Rocker II kit and whether or not it was made in the U.S.. Any info regarding date of manufacture and/or current market value would also be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, these are the only pics I've got. Thanks in advance for your time and your help!

From what I can see looks like a Rocker2 due to inside shell coating.

Also U.S.A. made (the badge says USA on it)

That’s usually how you can tell.

Something weird about that bass drum to me especially the spurs.

Yup rocker II.

Looks like the correct Spurs. I switched mine to Gibraltar folding spurs.

4 ply shells, sounded good. I eventually sold the kit after having to replace about four lug casings.

They just kept cracking where the mounting screws go in.

Did the Rocker II have the metal bass drum hoops?

Did the Rocker II have the metal bass drum hoops?

Yes, they always did.
