Another Ludwig Cut-Badge Snare

June 5, 2019

I wrote a few years ago about a 1970s Ludwig cut-badge snare drum that I picked up by accident, and some of the information I found on-line about these somewhat rare instruments.  Since then, I’ve tried to keep my eyes open for other examples in the wild. A beautiful one popped up on eBay recently, … More Another Ludwig Cut-Badge Snare

Ludwig 1920s Concert Dance Snare

May 26, 2019

Yamaha Custom Drums Color Book

March 4, 2018

As noted in previous posts, there’s not a lot of information online about Yamaha’s short-lived Custom Drums line from the mid-1990s.  Most of what I’ve found has been from other Custom Drums owners who stumbled on my site looking for information about their drums.
