She’s a beauty.

Looks beautiful INDIGLo!

Thank you Bish!

Thanks, it’s a Downbeat Kit. 12,14, 20” bass drum. I added a 16” floor tom. Using a 14x10” marching snare.

That looks like it’ll be fun!

Wow, love this picture!
Looks like it could be Darth Vader’s snare drum. :icon_mrgreen:
Acquiring minds want to know, how does she sound?

Hahaha...good one.
Wait... not even duct tape? Haha

That’s fine my friend. It’s just not for me. It’d be no fun if we all were the same. I can respect others opinions and or needs. All the best, friends!

I have never had to worry about a leg slipping after tightening the leg mount. Of course there were different types of leg mounts too. Those push tab type may slip once in awhile but then we’d use a...

Well for me, I wouldn’t use a floor tom memory lock unless the actual leg mount went out. That’d be a good time to have one of those handy. Or a very small pair of vise grips...lol.

Oh wow, sorry if I may have mislead with the 9.5mm size. I did not know but that’s what came up when searching. Plus, I know the vintage Ludwig's used 9.5mm.
You could just lock that baby (PLH1133)...

I’m not certain they do. You mean just to lock height of leg settings on the floor tom?
I know the memory locks can be purchased for 9.5 mm. Pearl sells a version too for like $3 ea.

I’m in the same boat as you on that one. I’d settle for one of these too.
All 14x6.5 Acrolites are 10 luggers.
Regular Acrolites are 8 lug.

Yes this is a good deal and is highly desired by many. The hoops should have a silver sparkle inlay but no biggie. Really worth it if nothing is cracked as mentioned.

Sweet kit! That's a heavy duty ride stand you've got there too! Congrats!

It's sounds a lot like the intro of this....

Seen your awesome vids BradStarr66! Now you need to get some vintage Ludwig hardware to top that kit off. One of the most sought after kits. Beautiful.

Is that snare Ludwig VIbes? The lugs look different. Great kit!

That is normal as mentioned. That's a Ludwig Rail Consolette (or hotdog rail) mounted to the shell. Yes there are 2 large flatwashers to help support it inside the shell. No worries and nice...

I agree! This is Chicagoland though where the Ludwig drum company was based. :)
