![]() ![]() These rockers used the small "classic" lug rather than the smooth "Standard" style lug that was used on later Rocker variants. Here's a picture of a Rocker series set from the '84 sports the B/W badges while the regular Ludwigs in the same catalog have the traditional B/O badges. There were some wooden shelled rocker drums covered in metal finishes that used that badge.they would look as you described, although more typically with a chrome finish. Sounds almost like an aluminum Standard snare shell, which didn't have a bead (but otherwise was the same as the acro and supra spun shell), but then it shouldn't have had the bow-tie lugs and the badge would be the "U" shaped standard badge not the B/W version of the B/O badge. Looked like a low-end snare, so I didn't bother to check it out. The shell did not have the ridge down the center like an Acro, rather it was more of a brushed aluminum kind of deal. It was up on a high shelf, but after staring at it, I noticed it had a B/W badge, Ludwig engraved butt plate, bowtie lugs and a muffler just like an Acro. I saw a B/W badge Ludwig snare paired up with a firewood kit at a pawn shop last weekend. ![]()
