Could offer more specifics on drum shells.By Steve-oProbably the best book you can find for background on the Ludwig company and help with identifying equipment. I do wish there was a bit more info under the section on wood shells (specifics on shell construction; bearing edge profiles; tour of the old factory equipment; etc) as Im interested in collecting and restoring; but this section is very brief compared to other parts of the book such as artist profiles; etc. Picture clarity could also be better in places; but I suppose thats the nature of old photographs and is being nitpicky. Other than that; a great resource for Ludwig fans.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Ludwig; Zildjian; Shure; Peavey...Yup; thats all the major food groups ya need!By RoadkillPacked full of tasty drum porn (pictures and line drawings) and history. Mr. Cook has done an excellent job gathering vast amounts of data and graphics. This book is a great read for any drummer; but especially for loyal Ludwig user/endorsers/enthusiasts...like me. Also included is a wealth of identifying info about badges; serial numbers; hardware; etc. This is as valuable a reference you can find for Ludwig drums; my friends!
