Hey boss, love love love the setup. I use those same stands. I have for over a decade. Those are not dw7000. Those are dw6000 or dw6000cp. Those are the original 6000’s. The shorter legged versions are dw6000ul (ul= ultra light). I like the ultra light for my snare. The shorter legs help stay out the way. But I’m definitely going to buy the Gibraltar snare stands soon.

Beautiful kit

Absolutely! There is no reason not to gig most vintage drums. They sound great, they are lightweight, and they were made to be gigged. Thank you for advocating for these drums to be gigged.

Thanks for another great video. All my stuff is vintage, well almost all. Right now in a classic rock band, and my 2 sets with 20" bass drums just aren't right for the music, so I use the sets that have 22's.

Those are so bad ass man! Reminds me of what Buddy Rich said. Hit them drums! They aint gonna hit you back!

Nice video! I own an early 60s Legacy Mahogany kit. I would love to gig it but I’m scared to death of damaging it! I take a classic Maple out and am super careful with it Thinking about buying a little cheaper kit to take on gigs!!

Man, what a bummer! Always glue, they tried talking me into tape years ago and I was like nah, no thanks. Other people swear by it too but in my experience seeing other taped sets it looks awful. I didn't know you were doing videos man, very cool! Keep it up!

nice drum man!

Very nice find.. Duco actually refers to the brand of paint they used (Duco was DuPont's fast drying industrial nitro lacquer)

Hi ! I have a Jazz Fest with the throw off right next to the badge as you mentioned (the 3 things lined up). This is by far the most beautiful sounding snare I've ever used! The tone and sustain is incredible ! Mine has white marine finish, I guess the black oyster is even harder to find...). By the way, except for cosmetic change, why is this one (3 things lined up) more sought after than the later ones ? Is it only because this was Ringo's snare, or is it because they were made differently back then, and maybe sounded better than the ones they built after ? Thanks !

Dude! How the hell do you only have 64 subs? Just found ur channel and its truly excellent! Some great info. Got a couple modern kits but love the vintage stuff. Have always wanted a ringo snare but dont have 30 grand so got a reissue. I do have pioneer from 61 with a duco paint. Considering covering with black oyster wrap. Keep the videos coming .

Vintage right down to the Speed King pedal. Awesome!

Lovely kit! I love the vintage Ludwigs. I have a few and love the sound of the shells!!

I have four of them (one 60's gold sparkle downbeat, one 60's black galaxy sparkle jazzette with proper 12x18 bd and matching piccolo snare, one 60's black diamond pearl downbeat with rare 12x20 bd, one 60's blue oyster pearl superclassic) gig them since 1994 and only got to know the good, no bad and no ugly at all here, in 30 years I never had a problem once, and I'm always using their original hardware man.... I only make sure they don't stand into direct sunlight and if I can't avoid that, I keep them covered with a white blanket as long as I can. Easy like that!

I got my son an MIJ 60's Pearl Challenger Mahogany kit for dirt cheap and that little blue sparkle jazz kit sounds huge. One day I'll get a Vintage Ludwig or at least a vintage Ludwig kick drum because there's something special about those old kick drums 👍

I have a set of 1967 Ludwigs that sound amazing. I bought a newer kit to gig with, 1970 Ludwigs. I added some more pieces to the kit, took them down to bare wood, did a little re-gluing and epoxy fill on one drum, reworked the bearing edges, re-coated the inside maple ply with 2 part urethane, re-wrapped them with something crazy looking from Walopus, polished up all the hardware and replaced what was worn out. I replaced the old tom mount nuts with the newer style big wing nuts, and even replaced some tom mounts with the new ones that work with the memory locking pieces. This took a ton of work, but was my idea of "getting a new kit". I play aggressively and the old Ludwig hardware works! They still sell a lot of it new and it's not dumbly expensive. Lots of eBay and Reverb listings for used vintage parts too. Like you, I am not using period snare, cymbal or high hat stands. I have modern Pearl pedals, and on the right drum carpet the kicks do not walk at all. The drums draw a lot of attention. It was my plan to just use the 1970 kit for gigging, but after I tuned them up for the first time decided "I'm recording with these!". Not for everyone. Like you say, gigging a vintage drum set has downsides, but these old kits were built for professional use. Once you bring them back they start a new life. Think about who was playing Ludwigs back in the day! Cool video. Love the kit!

A friend of mine has the steel version of the standard. It sounds great.

Clout is the only reason to

Awesome Trans Badge kit. I've got three vintage Ludwig/WFL kits. My 1948 WFL 13/16/24 is probably the best sounding kit I've played. I agree with the quality on the '64's - I think by '67 thinks calmed down a bit and quality went back up. My '67 and '68 kits are both amazing. My '67 has a 12x22 and it's crazy how good and big it sounds to be only 12" deep.

I did Glastonbury this year with a 1981 premier club kit with 2x 12" racks and a 16" floor and a 12"x20" kick. All concert toms. Works wonders and Id rather gig with a kit that sounds and looks good than some modern stuff that you're just playing because you have to

I'd never gig with a vintage kit. Too much wear and tear, and the great sound doesn't really come through when playing through most PA's. I'd keep it for playing at home and recording. For playing live I'd go with what looks the coolest honestly, even if it were a beat up old pearl export or something.

What a nice kit! But hey, what´s that Vic´s ure using? They look pretty slim, or are they just like... eaten up? Thanks bro! Great content!

Very good looking Ludwig set, sir! I have been into the retro vintage drums for a 5-6 years but have been playing drums for 20 years. I always like the charm of older and stronger drums and keeping all the original parts of the drum in tact. I have 26" bass Slingerland Radio King, where it has the same metal brackets and definitely upgrade with a newer kind of Cymbal Holder. Kick it!

The Standard snare with an aluminium shell is awesome too. The sound is like the Acrolite.

A big thank you bro! This is high value stuff for all of us Ludwig nerds and collectors! Thanks so much! Subscribed! 😎👍

That kit sounds solid. I’ve been debating buying one. Thanks for the demo!

A friend gave me a completely trashed Standard snare a while back. It was a mess, no hoops, wrap had been painted, etc. I stripped the shell, had new edges and a nice snare bed cut, wrapped it in a cool green sparkle. Replaced the butt plate and strainer and got chrome over brass hoops for it. Yeah, I splurged a little. It is a totally unique drum in my collection and it records great.

Great info!

What a nightmare!

Super great video! I have some collector drums that I wouldn't think of rewrapping, but my "beater" drums and my practice drums I wrapped, but on a super budget (in other words, as cheap ad I could). One of sets of Ludwig Rockers I used a fabric wrap that I taped the seams over the existing wrap, which I can remove at any time. They look great, I guess bc the wrap is flexible, not hard plastic or mylar type like yours. I wrapped 8 large drums for $36., and I have quite a bit left. Not meant to contradict your awesome advice, but a totally different approach for non valuable drums. Thank you.

Thanks for this great video. I am glad I subscribed.

Nice set!

They’re way too much now smh

Good info man.

Yes...I dug the information. Go Dodgers!

Love Ludwig!

Gracias brother

Why didn’t you play it

I love this! Great short video. ( the entire long version is great too!

Awesome video. I play Rewrapped and cut down Rockers USA professionally. I have a love affair with them right now. And my best friend just last year gifted me his Standard snare! It was in almost the same wrap I did my re-wrap in! But the shade was off and I wrapped the standard to match. Cool thing is, all the lugs already match, they look amazing.

Early version called Prototype 60-61 those are welded, comes with orange peel shell, crimped beds also

Thanks for your video. I did subscribe to your channel but I am curious, what does Suuavacito mean? Is it your name? I don't speak much Spanish, sorry. There was a song with that name by a band called "Malo". I think it was Carlos Santana's brother. I love that song, one of my all time favorites. I bought a Black Galaxy 5" in very good condition 10 years ago. It's my favorite of the Acros.

That’s badass

Awesome drums! Look great too.

Great info!

Good video sir.

Awesome. I have a ‘68 and there are a couple differences. My internal dampener is a knob instead of the baseball bat. The throw off was busted so I replaced it as well as the butt plate with the new model (P88AC combo with the P35), but kept all the old parts just in case. The plan is to use it forever, so I’m less worried about resale value! I had to do some drilling and tapping to make it work, but it seems to have been nothing but improvements! She’s my workhorse.

Cool video, thanks.

1.6mm triple flange hoops! 😊
