Help identify this bass drum please Last viewed: 1 day ago

Posts: 238 Threads: 102

Just got the three thermogloss ludwig toms

A 12x8 and 13x9 both with eight small classic lugs

And a very strange 14x12 1/2 with ten lugs

NO metal strips on the bottoms of any of these toms

However it looks like the 14 has been drilled for the old ludwig script

First generation floor tom legs..certainly not factory....

All three have what appear to be ludwig clip mounts

And pointed ludwig blue and olive badges

Badge Numbers are

1946606

2081624

1964974

Ay idea what kind of lugs are used on this 14 inch ten lug tom????

It also came with a bass drum

22x14. Natural. Someone painted the inside white..

No markings or bage

Someone has clearly added a slingerland mount on the bass drum

It also has a consollette rail

And two gretsch mounts on top left and right

Not really sure what is factory on this bass drum

Terre are doweled holes looks to me like ludwig diamond plate.....?

Any help identifying the claws and t rods

So i can see what make and model this bass drum is

Thanks for any help you can give me...

Looks like Gretsch lugs w/Slingerland tom mount. Everything else looks Gretsch. Somebody may have painted the inside to hide the Gretsch factory silver paint. See if there are -any- signs of silver paint.

Too many great drums to list here!

John nased my research i see that it is probably a gretsch bass drum based ipon

The lugs and spurs and some claws....the rail mount looks gretsch as well

No badge though...any idea what year this might be?

Too bad someone butchered it with the mounting holes,!!!

Any idea about the ludwig toms? Not bad for fifty bucks!

Agree with John on the bass. Has the 3 Pratt muffler holes on the bass and are plugged. Looks Gretsch to me. Wonder if the 14 tom is Ludwig with Gretsch lugs. I am looking at the pics on my phone so it is hard to tell. Could you post some pics of the bearing edges? We should be able to figure it out.

It appears that the badge pn this has not been tampered with at all

Wuld the gretsch lugs fit the ludwig holes? Perhaps?
