You can actually hear them better on "Walk Doh Run". More tom work, better recording. Same page, just scroll down the music......... Off to an ukulele club meeting, Aloha, Bill D.

Anyone have any idea of the year and model of this Ludwig? I bought it off craigslist and it came with no badges. I don't know much about Ludwig as this is my first kit of theirs. I'd be very grateful for any input! I'm in the process of rewrapping it in red sparkle. It previously had black wrap. I'm trying to decide whether it was originally red/cherry lacquer, but I looked at several vintage Ludwig catalogs and none of them had a lacquer that looks like this.

Hey Crash, I bet that shirt is louder than the ukelele.

I have always used 3 ply drums because I like the warm resonance of the drum shells.I have 2 early 60's sets one Ludwig and slingerland.both with mahogany in the shells.With the right drum heads I can get responce,power and incredible tone from these drums.I also have a early 70's five piece Ludwig kit with maple shells.This set has a clearer more defined sound and projection.I love the way all my set play and sound. The only thing that is not stock on my kits are the Tom feet. I replaced them with Pearl suspension rubber feet,this greatly increases the resonance of the floor Tom. Back to 6 ply shells, I once had a set and I did find them loud and hollow. I found that the tone mostly came from the type of heads and not as much from the drum itself. So I. Sold them and never looked back, I'm stickin with three ply!

3 ply is where it's at.Cool1 At least for me.

Haven't a clue! Maybe one of the members will know though.

You wouldn't happen to be able to tell how many ply this is from the photo would you? I probably sound ignorant, but it is difficult for me to determine whether it is 3 or 4 ply.
