From one new member to another, welcome! Welcome

Hi all,

Newbie from Southern Illinois here... Had a set of vintage ludwigs, but sadly sold it many years ago! (Wish I wouldnt have!) Anyhoo I am saving up to buy some older snare to start a collection.... Thanks for having me

Hi, I came over from another forum and recognize a lot of names here. I play mostly Ludwigs (1978 black cortex 6-ply, 2006 green sparkle CMs, Supras, BBs, Acros). Thanks for having me.

Hi everyone,

A newbie from Sweden here. I came into the world of drumming from the recording angle, I run a small 60's-70's technology studio and wanted a drum kit in the house for others to play. Long story short, here I am a couple of years later insanely obsessed with playing jazz and psychedelic stuff myself, haha. Play every day and must remind myself to hit the tape every now and then.

I went through a few kits in search of the perfect sound and ended up with a Camco Oaklawn, a Rogers Holiday, and a humble english Rogers from the mid sixties. Surely that's enough.....right...? Mind Blowi

Anyway, this seems like a great place to learn a thing or two. :)

Hello, everyone! As my name would indicate, I'm a Ludwig fan. I was "luddite" on another forum. I came up with my current name thanks to a gentleman on my previous forum who was NOT a fan of Ludwig and was getting tired of all of the Ludwig related threads. He referred to the Ludwig fans as "luddyhuggers." I thought that that was pretty brilliant, so I used "Unabashed Luddyhugger" for my signature!

I currently own a 70's three ply 14/16/18/24 that I re-wrapped and also a Epic X-Over Striped 12/14/22 with matching snare that I converted into an e-kit for my church gig. I also play guitar and bass, but drums are my first love and my home. Great to be here, I'll behave and try to be a positive addition to this forum. Cheers!

I remember that at the DFO HAHA ! pull up a seat talk ludwig all ya want to !

Great to be here! I see a lot of "familiar faces," yours included. An awful lot of "luddyhuggers" as well, so I feel right at home!

Hi to all; my name is Rob Eski. I'm a newbie & don't know my way around yet, but since this seems to be the "intro" thread:

I've been drumming since the late 60's when I joined a garage band in South Florida. Since then I've had a few kits - everything from a mid-40's 3-pc Slingerland trap set to a 1966 Ludwig Club Date (Black Oyster Pearl), and some Pearl & Gretsch kits up to 2003 when I suffered an injury that set me back for a while.

I'm just getting back into drumming, am currently in the process of buying a new kit. I hope to make some friends here and hope to be a positive contributor. Cheers!

Hey guys I'm new here. I've just bought a vintage ludwig kit. Rocker I think. It has the black and white badges. I'm trying to find out how old it is. One serial number Is 6133898. I was told by the seller it was a 1980. Could anyone help. Many thanks

It’s 80’s welcome
