Re: Ludwig Drums Discussion
I stumbled on to a B/O badge Acro today for $150. After looking it over, I noticed some issues. It was missing the muffler (but the holes were there), the strainer had been replaced with a new P85 but there was an extra hole in the shell where another strainer had been, and finally, the snare side hoop sat almost flush with the bearing edge on one side while it was about 3/8" higher on the opposite side. I don't think anything was bent, but whoever installed the bottom head had no clue what they were doing. Also, the snares were so tight that they had wore a pin hole in one spot on the reso head. Overall, I could have made it work. I have a spare muffler, hoops and heads. The B/O badge would match my project kits. BUT...I felt that a $150 Acro should not have extra holes drilled in the shell, missing pieces and bad heads. So...I walked away.
