How about a little fun game here. Here is the scenario: You just sold everything in your collection and made great money (life is good). But, that money was used to pay for your kids' college tuition leaving you only $2000 left in drum monies. An old college buddy calls and has offered you an amazing opportunity to play a gig opening up for (insert your favorite heritage rock band here who now only play 2000 seaters). You jump at the chance but realize that you have now to purchase a drum set. To make things uniform for all who want to play this game, you are looking for a four piece vintage drum set with matching snare. What do you buy?
I would go with a 68 Ludwig in Mod Orange (14x22, 9x13, 5.5x14 and 16x16). I know the pristine ones would almost double my budget so these would only be in "good" shape.
