VINTAGE 1970's Ludwig Hercules Boom Cymbal Stand
The 1970s Ludwig Hercules boom cymbal stand is a classic piece of American drum hardware from the era when stands were built heavy, simple, and meant to last for decades. The Hercules line was Ludwig’s touring-grade hardware—stable, overbuilt, and trusted by working drummers. The boom arm gives you extra placement flexibility for crashes or rides without sacrificing that old-school, planted feel. We currently have two available at the time of listing.

Condition
These stands are vintage and in good, honest condition for their age. Expect normal cosmetic signs of age and use—light scuffs and wear consistent with 1970s hardware—but nothing that affects function. All adjustments work as they should, and they hold cymbals securely.
Vintage Note
Because these are vintage items, ProCare is not available on these stands.
