Is that Green/Gold duco original? That is awesome! Nice kits all around!

I have a bangin’ set of Clubbies in BDP 8”x12”, 14”x14”, and 14”x20”. One of the previous owners removed the rail consolette and installed a diamond plate with double tom holder. The floor tom is a later 60’s clear maple interior keystone badge and round muffler; the others are white interior with Oct ’67 date stamps and bb mufflers. Wrap is decent but could use some work. I didn’t paint the one hoop ‘cause I thought it made the set look more vintage and cool being all scratched up. Since I took these pictures I have re-installed the original Ludwig logo resonant head on the bass drum. This is a great little set and fun to gig with. I love the look of the single lugs too! Clubbies all the way!

Super- Wow, what a cool kit! For my money, BDP is hands down the classiest wrap out there. The Acro is a perfect match! I love the way clubbies sound too. Tone all day long. Some guys speculate that the centralized, single lug set-up allows the shells to resonate more. I'm not a scientist so I wouldn't know, but I do know from sitting behind them that club dates -do- sound better, more open than their dbl. lugged counterparts.

Love your kit!

ecCurtis- Not original to the kit, I did the paint-job/restoration, but it is a color combo that Ludwig offered at that time. It's a 'legit' Ludwig finish.

beautiful clubbies,all of you! i love them all.

here is my participant. these are all orphans that i put together,ludwig galaxy sparkle. it took me quite some time to find them all. in fact, purdie shuffle made the floor tom for me from a virgin 12x15 shell(Cool1)(thankya john!!). these are 14x22/9x13/12x15 and matching pioneer.

Hey Mike,

It was my pleasure to make that drum for a truly good soul! I love that kit man. It was making me as crazy as it was making you to see it incomplete.

* I still have just enough black galaxy wrap to do a snare drum! I've been waiting and looking for a worthy project snare to use it on.

John

you dog you! i was just wondering the other day if you had any left over!:D

mike

It would have to be a patch job as the piece is not quite long enough. But I'm good at hiding seams under lugs and tension rods so neither of the two seams will be visible at all once all the hoops, rods and hardware is on.

Why? You got a good project drum/candidate?

John

sent you a pm john...
