Will a Ludwig P83 strainer fit the holes from a P87? Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 242 Threads: 45

The holes are:

1 and 3/8" apart (Imperial)

3.5 cm apart (Metric)

I'm digging around but haven't been able to get to a definitive answer.

Many thanks - J

I don't have metric measurements, but I have these written down:

p83 2.5" hole to hole

p87 2.0" hole to hole

Hi !

I measured, agree with Mike...

P83; P85 & P86 = 2,5" or 6,35 cm center hole to center hole

Thanks a lot for the quick replies guys. Very strange but I measured the holes from the P87 I took off the drum and they measured as stated in my original post. I'm wondering because I may need to swap the throwoff out if I can't find snares to fit and I want to be playing this drum. (The snares are worn out.) What will fit that will be small and light and reasonably period correct?

I should mention it's for a a 61/2 X 14 William F. Ludwig Ray McKinley Super Classic, WFL badge, the 1948 - 1952 range. It was rewrapped when I got it, which may or not be relevant, depending on your perspective. It's a deadly sounding drum.

I had the same problem with my super classic. I poked a hole in the plastic strap and screwed it to the P-87, works great and sounds fantastic.

Thanks Cam, appreciate you posting. It actually looks like the snares will seat nicely on the head, good balance between each bearing edge.
