Legendary 3-ply shells with reinforcing hoops
This is an incredible example of some wonderfully underrated drums. The condition of these are pretty remarkable really. There is some to be expected scuffs and aging but overall, you’d struggle to find a nicer set of a rarely seen gold strata set.
All the bearing edges weren’t in the best condition so I have had them all freshly recut by master woodsman Gareth at Highwood Drums.
These shells are identical to the top of range Ludwigs but were offered with different hardware that was cheaper to make and that was part of the Standard range which was brought in to compete with the Japanese budget market. The strata finishes were only available on the Standard range, so aren’t seen as often as the sparkle and pearl finishes, but are remarkable finishes.
