Review LUDWIG Tom Concert Converted

The Ludwig 14 x 17.36748 Tom 1978 Concert Converted Drum is a vintage gem for drummers seeking a unique and authentic sound. This drum is part of Ludwig's Concert Series, which has been a staple in the drumming world since the 1920s.

This particular tom, with its 14-inch diameter, offers a versatile and focused sound. The 17.36748-inch depth provides a deep, resonant tone that can cut through the mix in a live setting or add warmth to studio recordings. The drum is a converted model, meaning it was originally designed as a floor tom but has been converted to a tom-tom for more versatility.

The Ludwig 14 x 17.36748 Tom 1978 Concert Converted Drum features a classic 6-ply maple shell. The maple wood is known for its warm and rich tone, which is further enhanced by the natural aging of the drum. The drum is finished in a vintage-style wrapping, adding to its vintage charm and aesthetics.

The drum comes with Ludwig's legendary triple flange hoops, which provide superior tension and stability, ensuring that the drum head sits correctly and maintains its tuning. The drum also features die-cast lugs, which not only look great but also provide excellent tuning stability.

In conclusion, the Ludwig 14 x 17.36748 Tom 1978 Concert Converted Drum is a must-have for any drummer looking for a vintage drum with a unique sound and character. Its classic design, high-quality construction, and versatile tone make it a valuable addition to any drum kit.

1. Authenticity: This drum is a vintage piece from Ludwig, a well-known and reputable drum manufacturer. It adds a unique and classic touch to any drum set.

2. Tone: The aged wood and hardware give the drum a unique sound that you may not find in newer models.

3. Collectible Value: Vintage drums like this one can appreciate in value over time, making it a potential investment.

1. Condition: Vintage drums, especially those that are 44 years old, may have wear and tear. This could include scratches, dents, or loose hardware.

2. Maintenance: Older drums may require more frequent maintenance to keep them in good playing condition.

3. Compatibility: The size and specifications of the drum may not match perfectly with a modern drum set, which could affect the overall sound and feel.

If you are a collector or a drummer who values the unique sound and character that comes with vintage drums, then the Ludwig 1978 Concert Tom (14-inch) could be a great addition to your collection. However, if you are looking for a drum that is in perfect condition and matches perfectly with a modern drum set, you may want to consider a newer model.

If you are interested in buying the Ludwig 1978 Concert Tom (14-inch), I would recommend thoroughly inspecting it before making a purchase. Make sure to test it out to see if the sound and feel meet your expectations. Also, consider the potential maintenance costs and how well it will fit with your existing drum set. If you are satisfied with these factors, then it could be a great purchase for you.

Details:

The b o badge serial is original to the drum and was re installed along with a re production air grommet which was compressed into place. The chrome wrap was removed and replaced with a new gloss black cortex wrap.

No cracks, splits or ply separation in shell. This offer is for a 14 round x 10 deep 1978 Ludwig concert tom which has been converted into a tom.

Shell is not exactly 10 deep. All 16 lugs are in good shape. Lost a little depth when baring edges were re cut. Item sold as is.

Think it over. Heads are REM. The conversion on this drum was done 5 years ago. Drum has never been gigged with only used in practice.

Snare stand not included.

Tom was originally chrome over wood, drilled for 8 small classic lugs and a clip mount.

It's between and 10 deep. So here's what we have.

The shell is 6 ply maple poplar with original clear maple interior. Ambassador coated on bottom. Heads are used but still in really good shape.

No over seas. Scratches, some scuffs, and some pitting. I live in Canada. Just typical cosmetic ware.

3mm triple flange Gibraltar hoops and the rods I think are Gibraltar also. I put the tom in a snare stand. 8 more lugs were added by me and the clip mount holes were filled with wood en plugs. The drum is round and heads fit beautifully on both sides.

Empire coated on top. There are no other holes in this shell including mount holes. Look it over. The hoops are 2.

For wrap also has some scratches. The hoops and tension rods are not Ludwig.
