Cool, let me know man. What college?

[Michael G]

Bloomsburg, so not too far from home. Even though it would be a 35 minute drive, I'm still living on campus. Where you at? Central PA is a little broad.

Here is a much better shot of my 60s Ludwig Downbeat Kit:

Here are some horrible shots of my Accent Silver Sparkle Zep Set. The lighting is not the best in my basement.

Altoona, about 45 minutes south of State College.

My 1969 Ludwig champagne sparkle kit, 9x13,16x16,14x22....

Here is my 88 set. I know the Rockers are frowned upon but the early ones have the same 4ply shells on the toms and 6 ply on the kicks that the Super Classics had in the 90's. They sound great.



I have rotated the 10 inch tom head since these pictures were taken so that the Remo logo isnt upside down :)

what paiste cymbals are you using? and what are your drum sizes?

[tristanlong]

Hiya, the drum sizes are 12" rack, 14" floor and 20" kick, the hi-hats are 13" sabian fusion AAx fast hats, the cymbal on the right is a 22" paiste prototype crash Got through the Marshall family, (Marshall amps), the other cymbal is a 21" paiste signature series power ride (EX Status Quo, Geoff Rich) got from the drum tech who lives near me. Oh and the snare is a early Ludwig black beauty.

Thank you.

Hiya, it's not a Beatles tribute, it's a sixties cover band, just based round the British Invasion, Beatles, kinks, the who, small faces, stones, searchers, hollies etc.

Thanks,

Tristan

That is a beautiful pic and kit. The early 70's BB's are the ones to die for. How do you like it? I know of a drummer who found two black beauties, one 5x14 and one 6.5x14, both early 70's and engraved, at a yard sale. He got them both for less than $25.00. Can you believe that? Some guys have all the luck!

[tristanlong]

hiya, ye i love the early 70's BB, it does detune every 3-4 songs during a performance but very slight, i have now added WFL hardware, speedking pedal, speedking hi-hat stand, snare stand, 2 x cymbal stands and Ludwig throne.....................

My Ludwigs, 9x13 tom, 16x16 floor tom, b/o badge 3ply in a sky blue pearl finish, 14x22 kick b/o badge 6ply in a black cortex finish, 6.5x14 classic maple snare in a deep blue finish....

Wow! Now I have to start saving for a joyful noise snare drum. Thanks Max!

I just posted a thread with my kit, but figured I would include it here with the rest of these great Ludwig kits. I picked up this beautiful Ludwig Blue Marble kit recently. It is from 1994.

These were hand painted kits and only made for a couple of years due to the time and labor involved to make the kits. It really is a work of art.

The Blue Marble like mine was featured on the 1994 Ludwig catalog.

Sizes:
12, 13, 16, 22; 6.5 x 14 Supraphonic

This is an absolutely gorgeous finish in person.

[latzanimal]

^^^ I have a Coliseum in that same finish..

2009 Ludwig Classic Maple in champagne sparkle

8x10" ( on the floor, not currently used)

This kit is currently for sale . . . .

22" 12" 16" (I also have 13" but 12" is my favorite for smaller venues)

-71 was with w/o badge but still orginal 3 ply construction (with maple reinforcement hoops). Interior is natural laquered opposite the previous matt white in the 60´s.
