Ludwig maple cortex

Loading...

Hello.

I'm trying to round out my maple cortex mid 70's Ludwig set. I'm in search of an 18x16 floor tom in maple cortex.

Does anyone know of a place that sells a maple cortex wrap. I'm thinking it might be cheaper to do a rewrap.

or

Does anyone have a this drum for sale????

Thanks.

I doubt you'd find any that would match exactly, cortex finishes were less a wrap, and more a countertop plastic.

Cortex is "Formica"/countertop material as mentioned earlier. There are many manufacturers of mica and it can be ordered with a gloss finish. Your best bet would be to bring a drum to a cabinet maker supply house or Home Depot (kitchen design dept.) and check out the mica sample chip boards to find the closest match.No doubt Ludwigs color was a proprietery color,made just for them.This is common in the furniture industry. If you do find a close match,be sure to buy vertical grade which is thin enough to bend so it can be wrapped around a drum.

I myself have been looking to do a whole set in a maple mica and found a few nice colors.I also came across some vinyl approx the same thickness as mica but cuttable with a scissor and,not brittle like mica.These were from Outwater plastics.com. They will send samples.Good luck.
