Where are all the Duco finishes?

Posts: 1725 Threads: 135

here's one of my favorite bands featuring the drummer's often used Duco Clubdates and the same lead singer (from this past week) with a different drummer and different duco Clubdate kit, complete with major paint loss and sounding magnificent.

Fascinating...Purdie, you do beautiful work. Poppie, where did you get that clip on cymbal holder?

I was hoping Dave would do his "are those your drums" thing at the end!

haha, I hoped so too. He may very well have but the clip ends before he gets a chance.

Thought I would post here as the thread seems appropriate for my question. If I should post elsewhere please let me know.

Last year I bought a 9X13 WFL duco tom off ebay - see attached pics. It seemed a virgin drum from the Chicago area when I received it - untouched with original calf heads and a red ink stamp of Aug 1957. I bought it to use temporarily with another incomplete kit I was working on but wanted to play for some upcoming gigs. I loved the drum and in the back of my mind hoped I could eventually find a matching BD and FT.

I've been poking around the web a bit looking awhile now for some color matches including here, ebay, and googled duco drum pics. I have not seen another drum with this white and black color scheme. I know from reading this thread there are some one offs out there that were made special order by Ludwig - maybe that's what I've got.

Has anybody out there seen another WFL duco drum in this color scheme ? Any comments or info greatly appreciated !

Thanks !

Drum Doug

I haven't seen any other white with black stripe duco's, but that is a mighty classy looking combo.

Clubdate64 & Cooper,

Very nice vintage duco kits !! Very hard to come by these days it seems.

The finish looks exceptional on both kits
