Photo Essay: Ludwig Mfg Center in NC

Ann Ross must have wrapped a lot of kits out there.
 
I enjoyed that thanks for sharing it. Love the Ed Shaugnessy kit. The kit with Basie on the bass drum belonged to Butch Miles?
 
Every time I see a thread about Ludwig, I feel a bit bad for not having one of their sets anymore - or at least a snare.

Thanks for linking to the photos.

Nice to see the folks that built my Classic Maples.
