What would make this kit worth $4000???
The floor tom also has a badge in the upper position yet it still has nickle hardware. The snare has a white muffler inside so I am going to guess the...

I feel your pain. I live in NH and there has been very little action with things for sale around here and I used to find all kinds of stuff years ago....
6 years ago1960's Ludwig drum set - need help identifying and pricing.
I think more photos are needed. The grommet on the bass drum looks odd as are the other things I mentioned. I had an April 1963 silver sparkle set onc...
6 years ago1960's Ludwig drum set - need help identifying and pricing.
Boy this is a tricky one. There are a lot of red flag things wrong with this set. I do believe this could certainly be early 60's on the shells. I hav...
6 years agoAre early 70's Downbeat kits rare?
They are indeed rare. Lots of drummers were playing larger sized drums and the smaller drums were pretty much pushed away in favor of larger sizes. Lu...

I agree that this is a nice price. If this set is 80's then I would guess 1980 and no later. When modular hardware was introduced around 1981 it force...
7 years agoI picked this up today
I think you could easily build a set around this. It looks to be from the earlier part of 1968 like maybe march or April? New gold sparkle matches pre...

Beautiful set. This was most undoubtedly part of a rock duo set that had two bass drums. I wonder what happened to the second bass drum? I have a rock...
