of his Ludwig drum set. Looking good Kevin!

Here are some photos of my early 70’s Ludwig Standard set with
your vintage sky blue pearl wrap. I bought these drums new
back in about 1972 in Ruby Strata. It was a
great looking wrap but over the years it cracked and faded as I
hauled the drums around without cases, and sometimes nested inside
each other—not using bottom tom heads or the front bass drum head.
They were looking pretty rough and I was considering selling them
just to free up some space in the house and after getting a nice
set of Pearl Session Customs in vintage fade. I became interested
in re-wrapping the drums about a year ago and started doing a bit
of internet research, looking at various drum supply websites.
I came across your website this past summer and really got
interested in your precut wrap with the bonding adhesives. After
agonizing over the color, I settled on the vintage sky blue pearl
and am extremely pleased with the final result.
After removing the old Ruby Strata wrap, cleaning off the glue which
held it on, doing a bit of wood filler and sanding, and cleaning the
dirty hardware, it was time to order the wrap. I talked with your
phone representative and was able to quickly and easily order just
what I needed to do the job. In several days, the wrap arrived and
I started with the snare drum. It was not difficult at all. Then,
it was the mounted toms’ turn, then the floor tom, and finally the
bass drum and hoop inlays. Putting on the wrap was really the easy
part. I did not replace the original Ludwig Standard badges, as
they were kind of rough looking. Getting the drums stripped and
cleaned, and the hardware polished took quite a bit of time and
effort, but it was well worth it. I’m not planning to sell the
set, and may use it on stage again if or when the opportunity
presents itself—but right now I’m playing bass in a 3-piece variety
band so nothing’s for sure. Thank you for providing such a
good product at a great price and for the helpful and professional
service. Sincerely, Kevin Anderson
We would like to feature your drums with our wrap here.
