    According to this, your drum should be post 1979. However, serial number dating for Ludwig drums is not an exact science ...

    Thank you for the response, I've looked around at different sites without any luck, that is why I posted, seems the serial #'s with the B/O badge stop at year 1979, if I were to guess this serial # maybe around 82/83?
    I'm just trying to dial it in a little closer if possible.

    Did you look inside the shell ? All my Ludwig drums have the date rubber stamped on the inside of the shell in ink .

    Yes I've looked inside, the drum is stripped down to the shell for cleaning, all thats left is the badge w/ser.#

    The B/O badge transitioned from pointed to rounded corners in 1979 and lasted to mid 80's. Does yours have the rounded corners?

    If so, 82/83 would be a pretty good guess, IMO ...
