Okay, so, I used a sale as an excuse to throw money at a Ludwig Black Beauty about a month ago. Over the past week, out of curiosity, I started checking the serial numbers on my cymbals and drums just to estimate their age, but when I got to the BB there was no serial number on the badge. It's a keystone badge, and I'm fairly certain the drum was not pre-owned. The hardware was fresh, the heads were unplayed, and there's a ludwig barcoded sticker inside the drum shell.
Ludwig is not a company you can reach, and there's not a lot of information on dating a modern black beauty. Can anyone help?
