Ludwig drums how old? Last viewed: 1 second ago

Loading...

Hello everyone. I found this kit for sale but I am not experienced enough to tell the age of it. I know the picture is bad but you guys are amazing. What do you make of it. I have been looking for a cool old Ludwig kit for myself.

Thank you,

Jeff

Hi JC,

I blew up the pic and attempted to enhance it in Photoshop but it remains poor.

hardware seems late 1970s' to mid 1980s'.

Late 70's Early 80's. Do you have a pic of the badges?

No I dont have any other pictures. I have spoke to a young lady who is selling these for her dad. I will have to drive pretty far to get them but it might be worth my time with as per the price they are asking.


Thank you!

I believe it's a cut down overdrive set due to the virgin bass!

Did they make the Rockers with 10 lug bd? It looks like it has the classic lugs from what I can see. And one of the stands might have a black and white sticker. Hopefully I can get there and see before it goes.

I think they did and they could have the classic lugs too.

JC,

I agree with most of the previous input.

So, just some things to look for if you do go & look at it.

1) What's the interior made of:

Clear, 3ply w/rings = early 70s; Granitone = mid 70s; 6ply maple = late 70s/early 80s. IMO, anything else would cause me concern.

2 What's the badge style?

Pointy B/O = early to mid 70s; Rounded corner B/O = late 70s/early 80s. IMO, anything else would cause me concern.

My thoughs are based upon the assumption from the small picture that these have classic lugs and the 10 lug bass drum.

Also, I think I spy a supraphonic snare drum... and that's always good!

Don't know how far you have to drive, but if your situation is anything like mine, take the wife and make some sort of "recreational trip" out of it. My wife likes to do that... which makes the whole thing easier! :)
