RestoMod/3 ply Green Sparkle Ludwig

Loading...

Sizes 14x24 kick, 16x18 ft, 16x16 ft, 10x14 tt, 9x13 tt.

Mahogany/Poplar/Mahogany shells

This kit started as a 4 piece with concert toms, blue/olive badges without serial numbers. I added a 16" floor tom with a serial number.

Resto-Mods:

-Re-drilled toms for large classic lugs;

-Re-painted shell interiors, kick hoops;

-Shells trued and bearing edges sanded on all drums but the kick;

-Re-virginized the kick and toms with hardwood dowells, filler and glue;

-Added newer hardware such as 1/2" spurs, new floor tom mounts and Atlas mounts on the rack toms;

-Re-wrapped in green sparkle wrap supplied by Precision- great folks.

It's a very deep, warm sounding player's kit with coated ambassadors and a SK1 on the kick.

Great job on the restoration! Not only do I like the drums, but also the location of your photo shoot!

Thanks Mark, it wasn't a 'real' restoration as many are on here, but the kit had already been modified so much that I thought I'd make it a great players kit.

And the world needed another green sparkle Ludwig kit.

That is one of the most beautiful kits I have ever seen! If they sound half as good as they look, you are a very lucky man! What a fantastic job you did! Simply amazing, sir!

Thanks. Me too. The kick is the best part of the kit.
