The three psychedelics (psychedelic red,
mod orange, citrus mod) were
only sold by the Ludwig Drum company (in the 1970s) and their first
catalog they were featured in was the 1971 catalog. Of the three
psychedelics, by the 1976 catalog, only the psychedelic red was offered.
It too was later dropped from their line.
However, years later, a psychedelic red was
re-issued by the original factory in the 1990s, which Ludwig bought and
began to sell again. But, this re-issue did not have the same appearance
of the original finish– it had more of a water color look compared
to the original multi-solid color look. Even so, the Ludwig Drum company
continued to sell this finish for about ten years. The reason the finish
had a watered down appearance, was the original wrap was made of a nitrite
(extremely flammable), which resulted in a distinct appearance, but too
flammable to sell from the 1980s on.
The new materials developed (much safer– no fire hazard), did not
result in the same appearance, but appeared more watered out. However,
with even newer materials and better techniques at the factory, success was
achieved, and a new re-issue of all three original wraps released in the
mid 2000s. We are happy to report that the newest re-issue has the look
of the original psychedelic wraps and all three are now offered by Jammin
Sam. Now you can join the excitement of having these old friends on your
drums. Check out all three of these new finishes.
