    Does anyone collect Ludwig catalogs?

    I know Ludwig drums and related accessories are desirable to some collectors, but what about catalogs? I'm a former band director/percussionist in the process of clearing out my music library. I came across a 75th Anniversary Ludwig Total Percussion catalog. It's in full color and lists...

    Round Badge for Club Date trade?

    Pearl Sensitone and Ludwig Universal Sound 6.5x14 brass snare shell.

    Does anyone by chance know where Pearl and Ludwig get there shells for their 6.5x14 black nickel over brass snares? This would be for the Sensitone and and Universal Sound lines (not Black Beauty). Seem to have very similar specs except throw and lugs. Just curious if they are identical shells.
