My kit consists of three 1989 Ludwig maple drums, 10" and 13" toms, 18" bass drum, all with the "keyhole" badge, a 5"x14" DW Craviato solid-shell maple snare that matches the Ludwigs, just got that this year, 20" K Custom medium ride, 18" K medium thin crash, 16" A thin crash, 13" K hats, and DW hardware. I play Vic Firth 5A sticks.
Snare has coated Ambassador and resonant Ambassador, toms have coated Emporers top and clear Ambassadors bottom, bass has Remo pinstripe batter and coated Emporer front, no hole. All the drums are tuned high and open.
One funny thing about the Ludwigs. Supposedly Ginger Baker's signature is on the inside of the bass drum and the 13" tom. Anyway, somebody signed it, and the date is written the way the British write dates, which is month/day/year.
Has anyone ever heard anything about Ginger Baker signing a limited-edition of Ludwig drums in 1989, anything like that?
