About Psychedelic Mod Orange

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.
