I don't think it was "Can I order this with these lugs?" situation, but may be wrong. The bass spurs were different between the two as well, Rocker II's having cheaper disappearing spurs.ĭepending upon the day they were build, any of the S/L's, Rocker's or Rocker II's could have ended up with Classic lugs instead of the Standard lugs. Both lines were basically the "Standards" of their day, having the older Classic mounts instead of the new Modular mounts & limited in finishes to keep costs down to fight the Japanese brands. Finishing off the drums is the familiar 1970s blue-olive badge, with its individual serial number and proudly stating Ludwig, Made in the USA. Ludwig S Black And White Badge Serial Number And Proudly. To confuse matters, the SL was out earlier that the Rockers. Plus the black tension screw washers and smaller black locking washers which prevent your tension bolts falling out when changing heads. This was on a Black Beauty Snare Drum from the late 70s. I've read that this was to hide imperfections in the shells. In 1971-72 Ludwig also used B & O Badges without Serial Numbers (LVDC) (badge courtesy: O-lugs). The Rockers were clear interiors while the Rocker II's were Granitone. They were either made in Chicago or Monroe and were the same shells as the Classics. My Rocker II's are packed in cases but from what I understand, the B/W badged wood shells are US made.
