This is the 1969 Ludwig Super Classic drum outfit with the famous supra-phonic 400 snare drum.The drum sizes for these drums are a 14x22 inch bass drum,9x13 small tom,16x16 floor tom,and the 5x14 inch snare.Ludwig in 1969 were making some big changes with their company and making a lot of improvements with their drums. Now all the shells were made in the 3 ply maple-poplar-maple with maple re-enforcing rings. In 1969 Ludwig changed the badge from key-stone to the blue & olive modern Ludwig logo badge. As noted in the video,in 1969 the drums were made with both the new parts and some of the old parts.Once all of the old parts were used up in 1969,then all Ludwig drums in 1970 had the new parts,new logo badge, and all improvements that Ludwig made. These are great drums and the set I have is in the classic champagne sparkle finish. These drums I have were made on June 17,1969 and are now 48 years old. Still looks new and of course have that classic Ludwig sound. The 5x14 supra-phonic 400 snare drum has that very crisp sound to it with the new P-85 snare strainer they made for that model year. The great Joe Morello played the Ludwig super classic drum set and was the main reason I wanted one of these drums. Of course Ringo Starr also played the Ludwig Super classic drums with the Beatles and sold a lot of drums for Ludwig. Today Ludwig is once again making this shell in the 3 ply maple-poplar-maple with maple re-enforcing rings which they call the Legacy Classic Series of drums. Great that this shell is coming back. Bill Ludwig II said this drum shell was the best Ludwig ever made. I agree and they have the type of drum sound I love the most. Wide open with a warm tone to them that projects very well. Please check out Part 2 with me playing on these Ludwig Super Classic drums. For my bio,go to kenloomer.com.
