Ludwig Butcher Block Drums

I have a chance to pick up this clean Ludwig bb kit on a trade deal. I know it's not the most popular finish, but I dig them. Anyone else like them?

I do like the finish and hope to have a set one day. Those look superb! Bet that 24 really talks!

Not for me, but as long as you like them, that's all that matters.

They sorta have retro '70's appeal for me. I like to look at them more than I would want to own any, kind of like acrylic drums. I think they're cool when other people play them, if that makes sense.

Always thought they would look good with gold-plated hardware.

I saw Alan play this set back in the 80's when I was in high school. They sounded great and I even got him to autograph the cover of my MD from then as well and I still have it.

I have a set with the 2-rack toms. Have been in the hunt for the matching snare to round out the kit. A friend had a Rogers kit way back when I was in HS and I always wanted a kit with the wrap. Even thought it wasn't the most popular wrap I always thought they were cool so I jumped when it came available. Mike's right, the 24 must have some great punch to it

Enjoy!
