Those Club Dates look nice but I think those flat base stands are ugly. Maybe it is I am so used to seeing my 1400's. They do look sturdy and well made. I looked at them again and I think it is the high rubber feet that make them look funky. if they were half that height the stands would look ok. Just my humble opinion. I am thrilled they are coming out with the new hardware. Can't wait to see all the offerings.

Wow! Those CD's are pretty.

Probably pretty expensive...nice nonetheless. Has anyone heard pricing/wrap reports yet?

Those stands are very cute.

"We're Ludwig...if we can't look ahead, we'll look in the past!"

Anyone know anything about the shell construction on the new stuff?

I'll be at the NAMM Show this weekend I'll definitely be at the Ludwig booth I'll take pictures and look into the specs.

Don't quote me, but I think the Clubbies have a similar shell build to the E's cherry gumwood. They had the 800ish price tag from what I recall reading. Mark can verify this.

Looking at the rubber feet, they look as if they are reversible so you can position the stands over each other. that something you can't do with the vintage ones. you can see the hi hat feet are reversed.

THE NEW HARDWARE IS LAUNCHED on the official ludwig website!!!Excited

3 new series, with very fancy thrones and bags :p

Pics of the new clubdates are on there aswell...

Go check it out ;)

I just visited the site and see the hardware, but couldn't find the pics of the Club Dates... where are they?

Thanks,

Bill
