Hello!
My name is Oliver and I come from Sweden. I just recently joined this forum and this is my first post. I'll tell you a little about my vintage kit and then to the question.
A couple of years ago I found, bought and "restored" ( changed/added parts and fixed a few things, as well as I could) an old Ludwig drumkit:
Blue/Olive badge. (Bowlingball) Black Oyster Finish.
Sizes:
24"x14" bassdrum
13"x9" tom
14"x10" tom
16"x16" floortom
18"x16" floortom
3-4 -ply maple (?) with reinforcement rings.
Some parts of the bearing edges on one tom is a little beat up, but that's fine, still sounds excellent.
I have a question though. The bassdrum sprus/legs are quite bad. It's those long, curved, metal-rods with a sharp, pointy end. You just insert them into the leg-mount on the bassdrum (I hope I made it clear which sort I mean). Anyway, these aren't working out so well, the bassdrum stands still, but shakes alot. Is there any other type og bassdrumlegs and mounts I could use without having to drill new holes in the drum?
Thank you, have a good one.
