super classic

Picked up a set of Brooklyn's from Maxwell's in IL this weekend and wow. I am have always been a die-hard Ludwig guy but these sound incredible! I threw some Vintage Ambassadors on the batters and these drums have such a great body and warmth to them while also maintaining great projection. A...

Hi all, I'm just barely starting to dip my toes into the world of vintage drums, and I was hoping someone could help me identify a set of Ludwigs I was looking at. The guy who has them says they're '68 Rockers, but from the little bit of research I've done, it seems like he might be making what...

On June 7th I celebrated being booze free for 5 years. So I thought this was the BEST way to celebrate how much better life has gotten. ​High on the bucket list was a kit I looked for & longed for...well, for a long time. So when I saw the kit in Donn Bennett's Drum Vault, I decided it was time...

I was recently gifted with a 1961 Ludwig Super Classic in Blue Oyster Pearl. Included were a set of vintage Zildjian hi-hats from '61 as well as a Supraphonic snare. I'm experiencing some confusion because the shell sizes are all correct for the kit but it is unusual in three aspects. 1. The...
