Need Help Identifying "Vintage Ludwig" Last viewed: 2 days ago

Posts: 1 Threads: 1

Bought a kit online. Seller said it was vintage 3pc Ludwig Set. However when i received the drums it appears some of the shells and hardware are not ludwig but off brand of japanese drums. I was wondering if somebody here can confirm some of the shells on this set are ludwig or not. I know the bass is but the floor and/or small tom are off brand it appears or they are frankenstein vintage drums. thank you

Here are pictures of the floor and small tom shells:

Is there a chance the floor tom shell may be Ludwig? Who puts two different styles of lugs on a drum, weird

Top lugs on floor tom look like Gretch and bottoms look like beavertail Rogers (or maybe Tama)
