I knew it.Big score for Ludwig.I'm sure that even before his break with Gretsch,that he was being courted by Ludwig,and DW et al just to name a few.I'm sure he got a sweet deal,and i'm hoping Conn/Selmer(Ludwigs parent company) lets Ludwig do what they have to do.I'm cautiously optimistic right now.The unholy alliance between the two companys has in the past produced some major F ups.
A new line of hardware...a Club Date reissue and now one of the best and most recognized players on the planet as an endorser.Somebody's getting a nice bonus this year.
I see in my crystal ball............a possible VC artist or custom series of Paiste's in the very near future,as well as a Ludwig VC custom drum kit.I also see a lot of smiling faces,and bulging pockets.
Well done Ludwig.......now hire some more people,increase your QC and customer service with an 800 number factory direct,and reduce the wait times for kits ,and everyboby in the biz will be saying......what the F just happened.It will be like the 60's again....with nearly everybody playing Ludwig,and new players asking........who's DW?
