"WFL" vs. "Chicago Ludwig" Speedking for '70 DownBeat Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Loading...

Hey all,

LOVING playing my kit. Much more fun than cleaning it. :) THanks again for all the help early on. My "new" Supra is fantastic; and it looks much much better as a whole kit than with the black Pearl Export snare I found with the kit.

Anyway, I briefly mentioned this in another thread, someone taught me that hte WFL Speedkings are spaced further out than they should be on early 70s wide hoops. I drew a quick diagram to show what I am experiencing, and also took a picture of the base of the legs on my WFL to show how it notches onto the hoop...

What do you think? I love how the pedal feels, and the new EMAD batter skin is unreal. Love the sound. Can't help thinking I need a different pedal though, I have gotten used to the "long" feeling motion...

Ludwig made 2 Chassis bodies for the SpeedKing that i now of. Your picture shows a small hole drilled in the area im talking about here,and you have the "deep tab" one...look for a shallow tab w/OUT a hole drilled to get you closer to the skin,and chokes up underneith the hoop clamp...Cheers!!!
