Re: Ludwig Stainless Steel Concert Toms Just as you said, I have never seen a genuine Ludwig drum that didn't come with a badge on it - especially from the 1970s and newer when they started adding serial numbers. Stainless Steel was only an option for a couple of years in the late '70s, so they would have had a Blue + Olive badge like the rest of the stainless drums I own so ?? Emailing Ludwig can be like sending them a message via carrier pigeon as their customer service isn't known for it's promptness! I tried calling Todd Trent, who used to be their Artists Relations Manager, to see if he knew but he wasn't in so I was hoping I might find someone here that knew since (as every good drummer knows) "Timing Is Everything!" |
