About five hours ago, I returned from a two week visit to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I've visited this beautiful city about thirty times and each time I make a point of trying to locate music stores which carry drums and percussion instruments. This year, I came across a dingy little hole in the wall which sold some pretty cool stuff. In the back of the store I stumbled upon a set of Ludwig Accents. They were dusty and out of tune. Even the decal badges were curling. I tried to ask about the drums in poor Spanish but, the shop owner knew nothing about the origin of the kit. I know very little about Ludwig drums except that I'd love to own a vintage kit. These drum looked to me to be VERY entry level. I honestly don't even think they were made in the U.S.A. My guess would be China or Taiwon. Say it ain't so! I know that even Ludwig outsources nowadays but, an entire set?! Please tell me I'm wrong.
