Hi, I just aquired a 1951 Leedy & Ludwig drum set. The kit is in pristine shape, but lacks a front head.
One of my favorite things to "restore" on a vintage kit (and also one of my last steps) is to hand paint a vintage style shield monogramed with my initials, and to add the appropriate company decal. (I have had good luck freehanding the Ludwig '60's script logo tough.)
So my question is , what is the appropriate style logo to use on my kit?
Hide hitters has a very nice logo on this 40's Leedy drum ( http://home.hetnet.nl/~hidehitters/drums/1949leedy/1949goldsparkle.html ).
And Leedy themselves have 2 differnt type of logos on their website ( http://www.leedydrum.com/ ) One is a sript logo and another is a circle logo, which can bee seen on the picture of the bass drum.
