Hopefully someone out there knows about difference between Ludwig Standard series drum shells and the Ludwig Classic series drum shells. Were they both a 3-ply make-up, or were there differences?? I've always
wondered about this. Any help on this topic would be appreciated.
The standard and the classic shells are the same 3 ply shells with the same hole pattern.....great drums...........Vinny
Yup, same classic 3 ply sound, but an ugly badge.
Same great 3 ply shell, minus the finish quality on the inner ply. Hence they were always painted.
Thanks for the answers, guys... I thought the shells were he same
between the two different series of drums. My oldest brother, 11 yrs.
older than me, special ordered a new set of the "Standars" in 1969-1970,
after he served his hitch in the air force. I can't remember the correct name
of the color, which was a combination of different shades of "root beer"
brown. he had a setup of 12/13/16/22 sizes. He's kicked himself for
letting them go many years ago. This color is on E-bay once in awhile.
Thjanks again for the verification of the shells.
The color was probably orange strata or gold strata.
