Ludwig transition badge question Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 304 Threads: 31

I picked up a blue sparkle transition badge pioneer today. The date stamp inside says Oct.4 1960. Any information I can find says that Ludwig only used the badge in 1958 and 1959. Badge is tight to the shell and doesnt look to have been messed with. I leave it to the wise men to help me out. Thanks in advance.

thats the way of it, for the change took a year or so longer, for sure you wont see any from 61 up nice drum

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





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.
