I've posted this one before, but my drum room is done, and I wanted to share my stainless in all of its glory!

Alright, I don't want to restart a big kit, small kit debate here because I am a big kit guy but.......DAMN!!!!!! Very freakin nice!!!!! Just wondering though, why didn't Ludwig put cast rims on those models??? Honestly I don't have cast hoops myself but I think they add a little something to a high end kit. Love it man!

Thanks man! I don't know that Ludwig puts die-cast hoops on anything except snares. I'm sure I could have gotten them by request but I didn't want to mess with that Ludwig mojo and be disappointed somehow. ;)
 
HWY145 That kit Rocks. Very Classy, What size mounted tom is that a 15"x12" ? I like the Mach lugs on the BassDrum.
 
Yep, it is a 15x12. My ideal drum is a 14x10, but I've yet to find one that is in good enough condition. Anyone have one? Oh yeah, this is the loudest drumset I've ever played! The kick is single ply- front and back (unmuffled), and it is thunderous beyond comprehension!!!! The 18" floor tom is one of the most pleasing/ nicest sounding drums I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
 
Just joining in the fun and glory...

This is one configuration of my Luddy shells - 22x16, 13x9, 14x14.
The snare pictured is a rare 1968 6.5" Supra with Keystone badge - one of the best sounding snare drums I've owned!

Time to punt this thread back to the first page!

New Kit!: The new Cherry/Gum Element SE's in 8x12, 14x14, 14x16, and 18x22.... in Citrus Mod (AKA Psychedelic Barf). I've only got the toms tuned up (with coated ambassadors for now), but they *really* sing.

Now to go tighten a wing nut on the right hand spur of the maple BD, which I just noticed is slowly slumping! Ack! :)

^ I saw those on the Ludwig website! They look fantastic!
If I was in the market for a set I would get one of those.

Zambizzi - Love the classic maple in the charcoal finish. I just purchased one in 22x16, 13x9, 16x16 ... can't wait for it to get here. I live in Boise as well ... wanted to say what's up.

Here's my other Ludwig (Vistalite reissue). It's only a BD and Tom for now ... I have it up for sale, but I may keep it if I can find a deal on a 16" FT.

Hi Ludwig Fans, Just introducing myself and sharing one of my Ludwig sets that I have played for the last 40 yrs. This is a '69 champange clear 3ply, 5pc Buddy Rich sizes 22. 13. 16. 16. 14x5 snare, original Hwd, stands + speedking pedal . I also have a 14x14 floor and a 12x8 tom. I haven't played a better sounding set and I've played a lot over the years. Infact they are sounding better with age! Hope you dig em.

That's a pretty amazing kit! Have you owned them since new?

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your interest, Yes, since they were new. I have actually gigged heavily with them in the past but always moved them myself (no roadie or stage hands throwing them around) and always cased so they have stayed in pretty good condition. These days they are mostly played at home or at times in a studio.

Are these drums still for sale? I'm extremely interested
