For sale is a 1968 Ludwig Champagne Sparkle 8"x12" tom tom.

This drum is in really nice shape. The lugs are the mini lugs like Ludwig used to do on 12" toms and under. The re-rings and shell plies are intact and the covering is not lifting anywhere. The badge is serial #262365. I have the rest of this kit as well: 9x13, 16x16 and 14x22. The 16" floor tom is the only drum with a 1968 stamp and is serial #262206.

The parts are all original except for the red felt "ball bat" tone control which is from the early 1960's. The chrome hardware is very clean on this drum with very little scratching and marks. The covering has a few light scuffs but is hardly noticeable. The interior paint is a little yellowed. This shell has not been worked on and is all original.

I would give this tom an 8 or 8.5 out of 10 especially considering that it is 47 years old this year. I put brand new Remo heads on the drum. Coated Ambassador (batter) and Clear Ambassador (resonant).

Asking Price: $349.99

PM me if interested in buying: thanks for looking! Randy
