1970 Ludwig 18x12 bass drum value

Posts: 8 Threads: 3

Can anybody help me with the value of a 1970 ludwig 18x12 bass drum in pristine condition? Its red sparkle and its also a virgin. It also has its own original case. It is truly a 9.7 out of 10. Thanks for your help.

Is it a marching bass drum or does it have hardware for use on a kit?

Pictures speak volumes...

It's a rare-bird alright. Add Red Sparkle Jazzfest, a 12"x8" & 14"x14" toms and you'll have one mother of a Bop kit!

Lucky find! Not many of those around. Assigning value is hard because there are so few of them to compare it to. It'll fetch whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Depends on how bad they want it and how many people want it.

Build a Bop-kit around it!

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm not sure what to do with it. It is pretty cool though. I might see if I can find some toms of equal condition.

Thanks again,

She may have high value cause that's a Jazzette sized bass and in great condition.

I'm sure I would come out better on price if I were to put together a matching kit.

Anything you're looking for to trade that drum for?
