Ludwig Butcher Block finish

Guest

Butcher Block gets derided and abused a lot among drum collectors, but it was popular in the 70's. I considered a set of them at one point.

Not a finish I would choose given all the other wonderful sparkles and pearls but a nice clean 3 ply Ludwig still = a nice 3 ply ludwig.

The several cortex kits I have played have been really great sounding, and I like somewhat the butcher block pattern, though prefer natural wood far more.

I detect a slight difference in tone that is a little more direct and I suspect that the extra mass and hardness of the cortex makes for a slightly different sound than sparkle and pearl wraps.

It does kinda make you want to put your elbows up and LEAN on it and order a coke though doesn't it?

I believe they were a maple hoop with a strip of darker cortex. It gave it that Butcher Block look.
