Ludwig drumset identification Last viewed: 1 day ago

Posts: 1 Threads: 1

Hello everybody, I am new here..

I decided to buy a drumkit for my studio and I found this, the guy who's selling it sayed that this is a "Ludwig Weather Master". I looked on the internet and didn't found a set called like that, the only thing I found was head drums. Can you help me to identify it please. Thank's. :) :

Looks to me like Ludwig Accent or Evolution drums. An mid-entry level kit. He is saying Weathermaster because of the Remo Weathermaster head on one of the drums.

No Guru - I just love collecting & learning about vintage drums!

Some of my favorites from the kits in the collection
58 WFL New Yorker Blue Sparkle
67 Ludwig Hollywood Red Psychedelic
69 Ludwig Standard Red Ruby Strata
70's Ludwig BOP "Ringo" Kit

A few of my favorite snares
20's Leedy Black Elite
51 Leedy & Ludwig Knob Tension
58 WFL Buddy Rich Classic Blue Sparkle
63 Walberg & Auge Sea Blue Agave Green Pearl
66 Leedy Shelly Manne Blue Agate Pearl

If they are any sort of Ludwigs (I don't think they actually are) they aren't any sort worth buying for any more than $50-$100. I've never seen those "badges" before...they might just be stickers.

They might be worth snagging if you're on a low budget and the price is right but these aren't the sorts of Ludwigs people are generally hoping to find.

Agree with everyone here.. I'd pass.. You can probably find some Ludwig mid level

kits at a great price point..The Epic, and Accent CS Custom Elite are good mid level kits

that sell for next to nothing..

Though I don't claim to be the level of authority that some of the other members claim, I have played Ludwig all of my drumming life. (Presently 66 and retired) I agree with everything said here. Not only are the badges and other previously mentioned attributes of those drums suspect but the bass tom mount as well as the mounts (lugs) for the heads totally non-Ludwig in my opinion. Just because someone put heads on the drums that say Ludwig doesn't mean the drums themselves are Ludwig. I'd beware if it were me.
