tommykat, what a beautiful cabinet; are those tambour doors? They look great........marko

Looks like they got it right on these. But, i agree with Kurt on the badge--kinda odd for a newer kit........marko

Downbeat snare is a nice bonus. Great-looking kit.........marko

I've got a couple motorcycle seat ones & a "D" shaped one; I guess they make round ones, too. The nitro & backrests are key.........marko

This is a sweet kit; very cool that you stayed with it & got it for your collection. Happy for you...........marko

Welcome to the PNW; need any Ludwig stuff?.............marko

Glad you're back....marko

Enjoy your posts (well...maybe not all 10,000; but lots of them)............marko
