The Bass Drum Was Not Repaired By Ludwig. Definitly A Home Made Job. The Tom Has The Hard To Find Early 40's Stamped Sheet Metal Lug Used About The Time Of The Zephyr.

I'm assuming that the tom is also WFL?? And the bass drum, what's odd is that the piece of wood that is bolted on is the same color and what looks like the same age as the rest of the drum...I am wondering if it was made that way??

Ludwig would have never attached the bolts. I have a 30's Slingerland BD that was factory repaired with sections of another BD. The wrap is in one piece throughout and goes over the bearing edges. It has the factory grommet in place as well. No funny business.

Yes, your tom is also a WFL.

Thanks for the help, I think I might just auction it off. It looks like too much for me to try to repair. As far as the wrap goes, I had a dealing with a Slingerland tom that I took off the old wrap and found it intertwined with the plys of the drum. Had to do a little repair after that one and I have found an excellent wood filler that works very well and is very sturdy. You would never know that the drum has filler on it when it is wrapped, and the acoustics of the drum held up just as well.

Id be interested in it if you want to sell it backbeat. D' Drummer
