One thing: does anyone have or know of a source for the foil lettering strips that go on the spring casings?
I've had ONE Ghost that the strips were in really good shape, and sold it...
I figure getting the whole strip is a long shot!
I'd settle for foil letters "F" and "P" that are about 1/2 square.
Tried Staples website, not much results.

Ideas?

The video was older, and he doesn't have any now. Evidently, it was the snare that Buddy Rich used, even though he was endorsing and playing other drums. Anyone know what era one should look for? They have some Austin era snares on ebay for pretty cheap, but I'm not sure if that's the best. I would assume the older the better, but I know that's not always the case.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Question: The Ludwig book states that Pioneer snares ran from 1960-1973 & on the VDG I only see the 1960 catalog. I just purchased a 1959 (dated Nov 6 1959) Pioneer WMP 6 lug snare.
Did Ludwig just not catalog the Pioneer until 1960?
anyone else have a drum before the catalogs showed them?

Thanks

I just picked up this kit and was wondering what type of finish this is and if these drums are common. It appears to be a light colored fabric type finish. The interiors are all black and the drums appear to be fiberglass. There is a small square inside the drums that are not painted that have a number inscribed. Is this normal and should it be there? Thanks for your help.

This is my 68-69 Slingy bop kit, 12, 14, 18", black sparkle, w purple flecks.
Bought as a 4 pc, with a c.o.b. 3 stripe snare. Stick saver rims on all. Added the black snare later. It's stamped 65, and has a more densely purple specked wrap. It does have a bottom rim. It's an ok match. Condition is good except for BD rims having some finish issues.The mounted tom has a bit of bubbling in the wrap. I'm assuming it's not a re wrap? Any thoughts on that? Sounds really sweet.

Where can I buy some drum heads to fit the WFL Victory Model snare drum? I would think they would need to be calf skin to stretch that much.

I have a 1973 Ludwig Big Beat Vistalite set.

When I set up for group practice, I only mount the smaller left-hand tom to save time. Recently, I grabbed the larger right-hand tom by mistake. When I mounted it on the left-hand peg, I noticed something: the tightening nut, usually on the bottom, was now on the top!!

I’ve always had a problem getting my hand in between the two toms to tighten the nuts properly due to the confined space, but if they were on top, there would be plenty of access room.

So I’ll be removing the mounting pieces from each tom and turning them 180 degrees. The toms will be in their correct positions, but tightening the nuts will be so much easier!! Makes me wonder why Ludwig didn’t do it this way originally. ]]> Vintage Drums Tinman http://www.vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=37805 Pearl Masters Custom 6.5 x 14 Snare (MMX 5314D) in #122 Black Mist finish. http://www.vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=37804&goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 16:36:35 GMT Wanted to buy: Pearl Masters Custom 6.5 x 14 Snare (MMX 5314D) in #122 Black Mist finish.
