Hey guys love this thread. Lets get this Ludwig Stainless Club Going. I'm in ! These drums just don't get the kind of respect they deserve.

Vintagemore that's a sweet looking kit. I'm guessing it's a 24" kick 16" and 18" floors. Is that a 12"x15" marching tom? It looks great with the Mach lugs

Is your 26" a field drum also? Those 26"s in Stainless are indeed rare. What was odd about Bonzo's 12x15 was that it only had six lugs and the Mach lugs were shorter than most you see on marching drums. I think his Stainless kit was his nicest by far. I can't wait to see yours when it's done. Mine is a 1978 Big Beat with a 24" kick. My mom bought for me new for my 14th birthday. They are very well made drums aren't they

the 26" bass is the real deal not a converted marching bass drum, here some pics of it!

That is just Hammer of The Gods! Could you give me some history on it?

Hey Dno Good to see we got some Ludwig fans from Down Under! Your drums came out great. When you take these stainless kits apart you appreciate how well they were made. And how nice they clean up. I used Flitz metal polish and a couple of coats of liquid car wax. Good to hear from a fellow stainless fan. I also have a set of ChromeOwoods in the Big Bonzo sizes. As you can see I have a thing for Chrome Drums. This is a picture of my ChromeOwoods
