Here we have a 1960's Ludwig drum set in Blue Sparkle. This is a player-grade kit that was pieced together over the years, but it sounds and looks KILLER. Sizes are highly desirable!
- 20x14" Bass Drum (437057): some of the claws, while genuine Ludwig, are unoriginal to the drum and require spacers for the t-rods; bottom 2 tension rods are unoriginal where the pedal clamps onto the hoop; All parts are present, seams are tight.
- 12x8" Tom (Pre-Serial): Unoriginal, 2.3mm hoops; a previous owner had removed the badge and put a mounting bracket in it's place (there are 2 extra holes above and below the badge because of it), so I removed the bracket and reinstalled a genuine pre-serial keystone badge with a Ludwig replica grommet; Some unoriginal tension rods; original red felt baseball-bat tone control; seam is tight.
-14x14" Floor Tom (578506): Unoriginal, 2.3mm hoops; unoriginal tension rods; muffler looks to be from the early 60's, but it's seized up (I can supply another, working one if you wish); seam is tight.
- 6" and 8" Bongos (645893): Some unoriginal tension rods; a previous owner repainted all the interiors and the connecting block black; seams are tight. Comes with a Tama concert tom stand.
The 4 drums come with Barton soft cases, and the bongos are in an LP drawstring bongo bag. This is an incredibly difficult kit for me to sell, as there is loads of nostalgia attached, but I need to make room and put funds towards some big purchases.
