Thinking about buying this kit but it is obvious that the bass drum is a converted bass drum. The seller is saying that wrap is original and that the drums are from the 60's. The price is right but it seems like a re-wrap. If not, at least I would get a supra, 14x14 and 8x12 in great shape. Advice please.
Ludwig help please Last viewed: 7 hours ago
probably have to see what the shells are to decide the rough year.
looks like the grommets are not right on the badges.
looks like a rewrap to me.
the bass looks like a converted 18" floor tom.
Just my 2 cents.
but looks like a nice players set and a baseball bat muffler supra.

I'd be shocked if that was the original wrap. Looks way too white. But if the price is cheap go for it.
^^^ yes on the money. No expert here but they do look rewrapped to me also. Pics of the bass inside will show any plugs/filled holes and easy to tell if it was a floor tom before. Grommets look newish. You can always find a 20-22 bass and make the 18 a floor tom. I dig the big drums. Or keep and play as intended as they are.
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

I passed. They wanted $599 and the snare looked good but it is a re-wrap and I can't even verify that the drums shells were ludwig.
This is a re wrap for 100% sure also the bass drum surely isn't 60's but the snare drum is worth the price alone if it's a 60's 402

So...will the seller now convey the truth or is he/she sticking by their story? This is more troubling if the seller is a music/drum shop.
