Sorry, I thought that was a guess - I did not realize you were positive of the make and model.

Thanks for all your help.

Well, it's a "guess" based upon what I found printed about a drum fitting the description of your hinged bass drum. Back then, they were looking to use the bass drum as a suitacase and the only one that I could find that fell into the proper date range was the Walberg & Auge "Perfection" bass drum. Now, having stated that, I would presume that the snare drum in the matching color was also a Walberg & Auge. That's about as good as I can do until someone comes along who knows 100% for certain. It's difficult to track down source material for Walberg & Auge.

But I'm 99% sure that you can call your kit a "Walberg & Auge Perfection" kit...

...until further notice! :Santa:

I was so focused on the band ad I missed that one. I am a little surprised as this is a NY newspaper and I didn't think the clan had a presence that far north.

very strange - thanks!DOH

:confused:Hello Again

Can anyone help identify part #21 from this 1912 Ludwig catalog?

I've got one in my 1920's kit, but can't figure out what it's supposed to do.

thanks once again.

Yes. That's a mount to attach a cymbal on the batter side rim of the bass drum (usually at about the 5:00 o'clock position) and struck by an appendage (part #18) that was part of (or mounted to) a vintage bass drum pedal. The cymbal and bass drum were thus struck simultaneously. It was a very common sound in the old days. It was a kind of predecessor to the hi-hat.

Yes and to add to what O-Lugs just told you, this part is called a Metal Cymbal striker!. I myself have a few of them!

"A welcome to everybody" it says at the bottom.....

I can think of a few that wouldn't feel "welcomed" there!
