'The Top 5 Most Influential Ludwig Endorsers in the Past
50 Years' Visitors to ludwigdrummer.com
earlier this year voted for who they felt have been the Top 5
Most Influential Ludwig Endorsers in the Past 50 Years. The contest
ended on May 31, 2003 and the votes were counted. The contest is
over and the results are in. The competition was very stiff with so
many great endorsers to have to choose from. If when examining the
results you don't see your favorite endorser in the position that you feel
they deserve, please remember, I just counted the votes! Now with
that out of the way! Congratulations to:

To all those that participated in the poll we would like to
say, "Thanks!". To all those that didn't we'd like
to say, "Shame on you" and "No bitchin' about the results!".

Picture of the Month

Click here to see more pictures of the kit.
Check this out! This picture was submitted by Clyde Haig of
Chesapeake, VA. We've all seen red Vistalite but have
you ever seen a Red Vistalite Combo kit. The Combo kits were small
budget kits offered in the 70s and until now I have never seen one in
any Vistalite color or pattern. If there are more of them out
there please let me know. Thanks Clyde!
