Interesting Club Date Last viewed: 1 hour ago

I got this 20" Club Date tonight. No extra holes at all. No legs or spurs even! Is that strange? It is stamped 1970. Blue olive badge. Needs a little TLC but should be a great drum!

It is odd to not have spurs......unless it was a marching bass......is there any indication of any harness loops ever fitted? If not, it still could have been a marching bass....early harnesses were capable of clipping on to the tension rods as well.....

I am not seeing any holes anywhere! Would the heads on it indicate anything?

It's a 3244P Ludwig Century Seperate Tension bass drum ordered without the eye carrying hooks for marching, which was a specified ordering option. These bass drums were usually used in the folding cradle type stands for concert. It is not a virgin club date bass ... technically.

a 20" though?

Page 37 of the 1971 cat shows them. They came in 20, 22, 24, and 28 sizes in lacquer or pearl.

Is it the same hardware as a club date? They wouldn't have used different shells for the marching stuff would they?
