The original 22 13 16, with supra, I bought in 1977 for $100. In mint condition. The other half, I bought about a year ago on ebay when I saw the bass drum had the same 520xxx serial number as mine. (What are the odds?) When I received the ebay kit, it even had the same date stamp as mine. The third floor tom, I also found on ebay. It was with an orphan kit with 2 FTs, so I flipped the kit for the same amount I paid for it, and kept the FT, (also a close matching number.) The 67 snare was also purchased on ebay, I just restored it and added pure sound wires. I also have a 65 WMP mint jazz fest, and two 65 WMP pioneers.
Thanks guys,
here's another view.

I play them every day, and give my 27 year old son lessons on them every Monday. During the lesson I play the 62 SKBs in the background of the pic. My son has an 80s Ludwig WMP 22 10 12 14 16, 6 1/2 supra, that I gave him in the late 90s, at his house.
Last year I was fortunate enough to play the 67 WMPs in a Colosseum, with professional mics, and PA system. I was told the drums sounded "awesome"
It was very enjoyable.

Beautiful kit! Is this a re-wrap or were you lucky enough to find both matching serial #'s and wrap!!

They are all original wraps, I was just blessed to find the exact matching serial numbers.

Really? Wow! What are the chances of that?? - I'd go buy some lottery tickets if I were you! Well done!

Insane! I would love to see this kit. I am in SLC if you ever want to show it off.

[Rimwhack]

Oh my! Looking at your pics I'm suddenly 15 years old again, drooling at a Ludwig catalog. I want them just as much now as I did back then. WMP!!!

[jaghog]

they are truly one of a kind

[Purdie Shuffle]

WOW! That kit can only be described as a drum candy-store. Spectacular and perfect in every detail. I love the way it is set-up. Just hop into the drivers seat and pedal to the metal...

Thanks John. I've had a lot of fun times with the "pedal to the metal" on this kit.
