1965 Lugwig Bearing Edge work

In this video, we take a closer look at the aches and pains of working on an old Ludwig drum kit. These classic kits can be a real challenge to maintain. But for those who are willing to put in the effort, the reward is a unique and timeless sound that can't be replicated by modern drum sets. So join us as we explore the joys and frustrations of working on an old Ludwig drum kit, and discover why these vintage instruments continue to inspire drummers around the world.

Thanks for the video. For my first attempt at a conversion, I took a CB700 (pearl? - not sure) 10”x7” concert tom and converted it to a double headed drum. I removed all the hardware and crappy torn wrap, glued the spots where the plys were separating. I have a router but not on a table, so I used a flat file to cut the edge. I used a piece of wire to copy the profile of the other side. once I got the first cut to match the profile, I went around the entire drum filing down 1” at a time, until it matched the previous cut. It actually worked! I Then sanded the shell 120-240-400 by hand until glass smooth, stained and polyurethaned. Converted from 4 lugs to 5(math!) replaced with tube lugs and new rims. It Came out pretty good!

Great job. Would have been nice to hear a before and after back to back comparison. But another great vid.

Great video.I have a 1965 set exactly like that one. Its stamped 1 month after I was born. The matching snare is a 1968 and it has some stories behind it. Thanks

I love watching this type of content, especially when it comes to drums. What Ludwig snare drum is this ?

[@brianwarner308]

on my 68 ludwig 13" tom, the seam has lump that prevents the rim from spinning freely around the drum, is that normal or does that seam need sanding down? sorry i realize i'm asking a difficult question for you to answer without seeing it first..

Old days we would use a carpenter pencil and mark the bearing edge and then sand . Low spots would still have pencil marks . Sand until all pencil mark are gone

Great info...thank you...!...Question...what router bits for the outer and inner cuts...?...I know the inner is 45 degrees unsure of the outer...!...What brand of cutters...!...Thanks...!!!

[@JeffBertolotti]

Is that a 45% straight-edge router bit?
