Bump dee bump dee bump. BUMP CITY!

the 1st two are slingerland, the difference is huge to me between slingerland and ludwig, the control knobs. pad shape and the slingerland engraved cups.

You've got three Slingerland mufflers from different eras.

Thanks guys.

Now that I am looking at pics of the Ludwig ones I have now,

I can see some differences.

I am looking for a few more of these, (see pics) TH&C era, for my project.

I have 2 sizes. 1 longer. 1 shorter.

The main difference I see is the curved mounting bracket coming off the shell.

And the 2 pads on the Slings. 1 on the Ludwigs.

Did Ludwig ever use the 2 pads on 1 muffler?

Thanks again to all.

Not that I am aware of. The reason for the two different sizes may be that one was used for smaller drums and one for larger diameters, like marching drums or floor toms. Just a guess.

Thanks Cooper.

Got any laying around?

I know.........they are hard to find.

Sorry, Scott. I never seem to have enough on hand. Because they were a rather poor design, they were removed from drums quite often. Very rattly.
