Vintage Ludwig Drums? Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Loading...

Hello everybody! This is my first post in the Vintage Drum Forum, and hopefully its a good one. A few months back I purchased a vintage Ludwig set from a thrift store... and come to find out, it is extremely vintage. From the research I've done, the set dates from the 1920's, but I can't find all of the information I've been looking for on the set. If anyone has any questions, information, or is even interested in purchasing the set, please don't hesitate to respond back! The first picture is the Ludwig badge on the side of the snare drum, the second picture is the entire set, the third would be the Leedy bass drum pedal, the 4th is the beater on the pedal, and the 5th is the bass drum. The tom drum with the blue wrap on it says "Slingerland" on the rim, the cymbal is a Zildjian, with a stamped logo on the cymbal, there is also a Ludwig stand, a wood block? and a pair of WFL drum sticks that came with the set. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Forum!

I'm not into stuff this old, but there are guys on here who are.

Looks like a nice find!

Post pics of the Ludwig snare drum.

The duco tacked tom is a Slingerland.

Very cool find. It would be helpful if you also posted a picture of the stamp on the Zildjian cymbal. You might have something interesting.

Here is a picture of the cymbal stamp, and another view of the snare drum. The snare contraption has a " Pat. Pending" logo on it as well. Thank you for the input!

Your Zildjian is a "Trans Stamp" 1940s-1950s. What diameter is it?

Your snare is right side up and looks very nice!
