MY 1st LUDWIG KIT IN 24 YEARS

Posts: 1880 Threads: 292

So i'll be picking up my first real, 100% original, 6 ply maple Ludwig kit that i'll be using for my McCartney tribute band.. Last original Ludwig kit i had was back in '93 and was a bowling ball black oyster from '76..

Kit looks to be in great condition and is ready to be played..Seller has restored, cleaned up, and put fresh new heads on them, although i'll be taking them off because they're Evans, and i'm not a fan..Black Dots all around for this kit, except for bass drum, which will have a P3 smooth white reso, and clear P3 on batter.. Will also be getting some Atlas mounts, scissor lifts, and possibly the rail arch, to give the kit a more "modern-vintage" look.. 100% pure classic rock, gents.. Can't wait to play them out live and rattle some rib cages.. Cool1

with bottom end ! We will definitely have some footage of the gig, and hopefully some of it

will be good quality..I'm hoping someone we know has a Zoom Q8 ;)

We've got 4 other gigs lined up already, with some in Quebec city and just outside of Quebec city,

and two more in London Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec near Ottawa..Should be loads of fun !Yes Sir

Cheers,

Rob

Thanks crash ! I too have always loved the classy, mean look of Black cortex.. It screams classic rock ! As for brushing up on my

Abe Laboriel Jr., funny you should say that..IT was a toss up between this Ludwig kit, and an incredible DW pre Collectors series 3 piece kit in Blue Sparkle finish that i found in Toronto that i almost bought, only because of Abe using DW ..But Wings and Beatles songs were recorded with Ludwig drums, so the choice was a no brainer..;)

Cheers,

Rob
