Thanks John, but these are 1/2" thick spurs. Only from 1970 to 1977 they made 5/16" thick spurs, and from late 1977 to present they've been making 1/2" thick spurs.
It doesn't seem likely to me.
I would need more information, however, before I could decide if it's right for me. How did the previous spurs work? The curved spurs worked for my 24" and 22" bass drums. The previous holes worked for these heavier-weight drums. There is no way I can see how these would work on a 16" bass unless you had "classic" curved spurs such as I used on my large I hope this is helpful!
The bass drum shell will have to be redrilled to install them. You will have to remove the old spur mounts. It is very difficult to install spurs on the rim of the front bass drum without a drum key since I do not have experience with that type of work. I continue to use the old spurs. got a new set from American Music in Seattle, but for the convenience of using the old ones, I returned to the old ones. A pair of pliers is used to flatten the wing nut. You won't be able to find anything that will It may be possible for someone else to do it.

I really like them. It's up to you whether you want to use the big rubber feet or remove them to expose the spikes, just like the original spurs came with my original-sized nitrile boots. I have owned my 1975 Ludwigs since 1975. There is a 24" double-door cabinet in my house I note with interest that these new spurs themselves (curved, square rods) appear to have been precisely matched in design but are considerably thicker than those used by Ludwig during the 1970s. The rubber feet of this model are larger and thicker. The first thing I thought of when I opened up the box was that I would have had to drill a little bit of a hole in the bass drum shell for the bigger rods to slip through, but with a bit of determination I did not have to drill anything at all. wing bolt on one spur had stripped out the threads and I could not tighten it anymore. I needed new spurs, and one of the old ones was stripped out. It would have been nice if I had replaced these spurs as soon as they became available with beefier ones. Upgraded to the highest level. It is now evident when I look at the original spurs from 1975 that while they may have done an adequate job all these years, they are actually pretty small and not as robust as So it's no wonder Ludwig gave them a bigger scale. Getting to upgrade my vintage Ludwig kit and I'm ecstatic is a big deal for me. These new spurs look fantastic, work fantastic, and are a definite WIN! I'll keep the old ones for posterity, but these new ones are absolutely superior!.
However, they are not as light as I thought when I bought it, and the bass drum does not have any sharp metal, let's say, to maintain its rigidity on a rug. This would be fine if you are making something similar to a Ludwig drum, but other than that, you'd be better off with something else.
It didn't fit the original holes because they were too large.
The claw on the bass drum is great. I love this product! It works and it is made well!.
Despite not working with my kick, this is a well-built piece of equipment.
It was just like I expected it to be.
