Hi All.

I am Ken and I hail form the land downunder. I have been a frequent reader of posts here, but have only just joined.

Just posting to say G'day.

I have collected 10x Ludwig drum kits (my brand of choice) of various vintages ranging from the 60's to current. I have a couple I can't figure out details on yet, so I may put my hand up for assistance and be guided by a higher knowledge.

Cheers all.

Pleased to meet you Ken!

You've joined the happiest place on earth... oh wait. That's Disneyland's motto.

Well, we all grin a lot, anyway! :)

Welcome and lets see those Ludwigs, ok? Those should be worth double in Australia versus anywhere else right? Supply and demand?

Anyway, now I'm in the mood for some vegemite (not really...) :)
