I replaced them with new uniform hex nuts so that the holder would be more stable and sturdy. The set also came with a Ludwig 781 tom holder with mixed hex nuts/knobs. Based on all of these details, it seems pretty obvious that the bass drum was not originally part of this drum set. The bass drum also has standard lugs, a gray paint job inside the shell, replacement wooden hoops, and long telescoping legs with rubber tips that can untwist to reveal pointy metal spikes. The bass drum serial number starts with 621 instead of 604 like the other drums. I can’t imagine that a drum builder would carve the manufacturing date into the badge, but maybe they did? Someone at some point carved the date 3/6/87 into the all of the badges except for the bass drum. All of the toms still have their original Ludwig Rockers resonant heads. They appear to be the 4-ply Rocker shells with the “Lud-Cote” finish on the inside. I believe that it’s a Rocker II set from the mid 80s, but I’m looking for more specifics.īoth rack toms and the floor tom have light shells with mini classic lugs. I’m looking for some help identifying the year and model of these Ludwig drums.
