Setting Up Vintage Ludwig Drums,The Holy Grail of Drums! (if you like 70s music)

[@snarehihatbassdrum]

LoL, Just a fun generalization about popular drums from the 70s, which was Ludwigs and concert toms, backstory, I bought these used in 1988, with my part time job, had them every since so yeah, I like them alot.

[@alanduncan1980]

Nice kit. I liked the trap case too. I need me one of those.

[@snarehihatbassdrum]

Thanks! bought them used in like 1988ish, trapcase was a FB marketplace find last year lol

[@NEALBABBITT]

No offense, but holy grail for who? They aren't even 3ply or double headed rack toms. As long as you're happy I guess.

Plys? Not even sure, they are maple Ludwig's from the 70s, sounds pretty good to me, especially doing 70s music that contains that classic concert tom bark.

[@snarehihatbassdrum]

@@NEALBABBITT now you made me curious, lol, looks like the concert toms are 4 ply, floortoms and bd are 6 ply, ( those are double-headed) so likely a 1976+ era

[@NEALBABBITT]

@@snarehihatbassdrum Should be 6 and 8 ply.

[@snarehihatbassdrum]

@@NEALBABBITT I'm looking right at them , 4 and 6 ply lol, don't think 8 ply came out until the rocker series in 2000ish?

[@NEALBABBITT]

@snarehihatbassdrum Rocker series WERE 4 and 6 ply, as were super classics that came out later and Neil Peart played. Yours look much thicker than that.

[@mattlovesdrums69]

the Ludwigs are sick, but as soon as you pulled out that Birdseye Maple TAMA snare, my eyes lit up!

[@snarehihatbassdrum]

Good eye! yes, that snare is my fav, it's very nice and was my first "high end" snare.
