Default 80's Ludwig 14x13" Tom/Snare Conversion

Why did Ludwig make 10 lug toms again? Oh yeah- so that we could eventually turn them into snare drums on the cheap! Early 7pl shell, 8x14 with 20 Classic lugs and P86. Click image for larger version

Love it man!
Tell me more about the finish. I have a 13x14 with a white wrap that I`m hoping to get to this year.
Love those thick shells.

Did not know about the 10 lug 14 toms. When were they made?
Nice Snare
Thanks SA

green glass drum -- Late 70s and into the 80s. I have a B/O rounded corner badge one that is the 6-ply shell, and a B/W badge (4-ply) that's a Rocker (with the standard/rocker lugs and modular mount). Not sure when it was actually discontinued.

barjack -- Nice job on the conversion. Might have to try that...

That is so cool. Nice job! Love the finish. I cut down a 20's leedy gretsch that had both ends destroyed. It was a 9x13. It's a 6.75x13 tom for now but I may make a 6.5x13snare out of it some day. Your drum is a beauty!
