Show off your Ludwigs? : )

Some Ludwig kits I have owned in the past that I still have pics of . I still have the wrapped Ludwig Accent in oyster black (my beater kit ).

The Birdseye maple Classic Maple kit is probably the kit I gig the most these days (20/10/12/15/18 with matching 5” snare )

The others have all been sold . The one kit I really regret selling is the Red to Natural to red burst over Birdseye maple Ludwig Legacy Maple kit that was originally owned by Bun E Carlos . The 24 x 18 bass drum was just too much of a hassle logistically for me at the time . Sounded great though .

The OBP Liverpool 4 kit pic below was a big disappointment to be honest . Just could never get these to sound like I thought they should . I far prefer the Classic Maples over the Legacy Maple kits .


The 1968 Ludwig Champagne kit was a nice sounding kit but got sacrificed in a trade for a Sonor Vintage series kit which I prefer.

I’m a little perturbed. A couple posts apparently got deleted before my set post and my set is no longer at the top of the page.
 
The Standards have been spotted out in the wild a bit recently - a week ago Saturday at a museum fundraiser. The old girls still have it where it counts.

Old hat for a lot of you, but new and exciting for me. Came to the door about 3 hours ago.
I've got another brass snare, but this Black Beauty has the right tone, sensitivity, and the right amount of ring to it right out of the box (after a bit of tuning up to my liking). I love it.

Edit: one good thing leads to another :ROFLMAO: Seemed a bit hoggy, but I knew I'd get one eventually, so I sprung for this Supra too.
It showed up yesterday.

Lovely kits Rick. I didn't know they offered a 15" floor tom, can I ask what depth it is and how do you like it?

15 x 13” was the size of my floor tom. It is a great size for floor Toms . I have two other kits with 15” floor Toms . I find 16” too boomy and some 14” don’t have enough bottom end for me .
