Did the Hardware on 70`s Ludwig Stainless Drums Have Factory Gaskets?? Last viewed: 56 minutes ago

Posts: 5295 Threads: 226

Hey all,

I`m starting to tear apart my 70`s Ludwig stainless kit for detailing...Did stainless drums have factory gaskets under the lugs and mounts? If so, were they rubber or felt?

Thanks in advance...

Cheers

I always assumed the vistalite gaskets were to keep the metal from directly contacting the shell in an effort to reduce the possibility of cracking. just a theory though.

Hides the "messy" interior of the tension casing too.

Plus I was thinking, the vistalite material doesn't have any "give" to tighten "into" like wood does...although the same would go for stainless steel, so...

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Did your set just have them on the mounts as well?
