I?m not sure if this has already been covered on this forum but I have a question regarding old Ludwig snare drum cases. I?d love to get some old Ludwig cases to go with my old Ludwig snares. The 3 most common types I have seen on e-bay are;
1) 50?s & 60?s large square type with a divider for stand & sticks. This case has the small yellow script logo on the front bottom left.
2) 60?s & 70?s hard plastic type with the flat bottom and rounded top also with a divider for stand & sticks, has a round logo in the centre circle of the case. This case sometimes came with cool, red felt lining, although I don?t know if that?s original.
3) 70?s or 80?s hard plastic case sometimes called the UFO case, has a large 70?s Ludwig logo across the sides.
Now for the question, which do you prefer and why? Which do you think provides the best protection for the drum? Would you trust your favorite vintage snare in one of these on a flight? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
