    Default Question about my vintage Ludwigs

    In 1971, I finally got my set of real Ludwigs. I saw the set in a catalog at the music store (whether a regular Ludwig catalog or dealer's catalog I don't recall). I'm trying to get some info on this set, as for the time it was unique. Kit included: 14x24 bass, supraphonic snare. 9x13 and 10x14 mounted toms, 16x16 and 16x18 floor toms. Does anyone have any info on this particular kit? I no longer have this kit, as I gave it to my stepson, who traded it for a no-name kit because it had double bass. I was heartbroken.

    I bought a set just like that in '71-'72 at Sam Ash in NY.

    Same sizes, but when I was playing gigs I just used the 14x10.

    I still have the set and use it all the time in my videos.

    It might have been called The Ludwig Pro Beat, it had the same configuration of drums but the timeline is saying around 1973
