1930s ludwig drum kit? Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 0 Threads: 1

This is my first time posting, so apologies if there's somewhere else this belongs. I have a vintage ludwig kit that belonged to my grandpa. I don't have much knowledge on vintage drums, so I'd appreciate any info anyone is able to tell me about it. Based on my searches, all I know is that it's likely a 1930's abalone pearl set. 

 

I'd also like to know if it would be ok to try and clean it a little bit and if anyone knows where I can get the hardware to finish the cymbal setups. I appreciate any info or input on other places I could learn more about it!

There are a couple of vintage drum groups on Facebook and they would be able to tell you all of the details about your drum kit.  You can also contact Tim Northup who has a vintage drum "museum" and is very knowlegable about drums from this time period.  The parts I see are in very nice condition and I believe you can get the missing parts to completly restore the drum kit without too much trouble.  The same folks can give you great advice about cleaning the various parts of the kit.  I think it is wonderful that you have such a great family heirloom and wish you the best.  Joe
