Ludwig hoops?

Posts: 442 Threads: 102

Hi! Is it possible to say, which of the 3 hoops are original Ludwig? I am trying to fit my 1970s Vista 13" Tom with original hoops.

Hoop 1 and 2 were on the drum when i bought it. They both look the same to me, but one of them is a little heavier though. Hoop number 3 i still had in the cupboard, and it was said to be original 1970s Luddy when i got it. looks the same as well..... Hmmmm

Thanks!

Maybe the heavier one is cob. Do the magnet test.

Or is the weight just another Ludwig anomaly?

I have to go by the feel test. I have a hard time discerning what make the hoop authentic. I have many authentic hoops vrs some MIJs and they can be almost identical.
