Good Morning Y'all. I found a 1969 Ludwig Standard 5 piece kit this morning. 22,12,13,16,14. This kit has been rewraped and the left the badges off (go figure) It also came with some very nice 14" zildjian A hats. The hats alone are worth the $75 I paid for the kit. As far as I can see all the shells are in excellent shape, except for the warped yellow wrap. Are these drums worth restoring? Oh, buy the way, it also came with a 20" slingy bass drum.

last week I found this Grestch catalina club green glass glitter, 26, 12, 18. It came with some very nice cymbals as well 21" Meinl Byzance medium Ride,

a 18" Zildjian A Medium thin crash, and 14" newbeat hats. $400. I am getting overloaded with cymbals now. I really need to sell some.

Hey, Glad to have you back! I could use some hats for my practice kit, what do you want for the 14" A's?

PM sent, let me know what you think.

Yesterday I scored a Ludwig B/O 3 ply set on Mahogany cortex on Rock sizes: 9x13,10x14,16x18 and 14x24 plus a CB700 snare, some japanese hardware (lugs,brackets,rail mount holders,etc) plus a 9x13 Star blue sparkle tom. a Speed king pedal a whole Groove percussion 4 PC set (In good condition), 2 Camber and 2 Grove percussion cymbals and a Ludwig Banana tom holder...everything for $300.00 plus a 2 hours drive round trip...

The Ludwigs have been butchered with Pearl export holders on the bass drum and the two toms but I know how to plug the holes and make them look really nice...

Just got a set of '66 Ludwig Hollywoods in champagne sparkle with matching Jazz Fest snare for $400. I think the snare may be a year later but the wrap matches exactly. Everything is in great shape. A little pitting on the bass claws and missing the muffler on the floor tom but nothing that can't be fixed. I figured the snare was worth not too far from what I paid for the whole thing.

Not a spectacular deal, but I just got a 1920s Leedy 5x14 NOB 6 lugger off shopgoodwill. Sold the calf heads and gut snares to bring my out of pocket costs to about $85. Needs 3 slotted t rods that are supposedly on their way from Mikey.

Hi,

Last week I bought a Carlton 14x12 BMP pipe band snare. All, every bit, of the snare mechanisms are gone. The drum itself is fine if in need of a good bath and some loving care. Since snare parts are hard to come by, it will probably be made into a temporary (no new holes) floor tom. ($40).

Set of 70's A's 14/18/20, some grunge and scratches. Really nice sounding ride and hats for rock, blues, country, the crash hasn't move me yet. $120 for the set. (I am trying to build up my house gig cymbal sets so I don't have to haul so many cymbals around.)

Got another deal today. 5 Piece tama Rockstar wrapped in python skin.

this kit has been on craigslist here for months. at 1st he was asking 600 wih hardware and cymbals etc..... next it was $300 for just the shell pack. yada yada yada..... I finally went and looked at them today and picked em up for $100. They look much better in person than in his cellphone pics. This is only part of this story. A very good friend of mine we all Call reverand Al has been helping out at my shop for a few weeks, He's a musician. lead guitar player and singer. His band is "Reverand Al and the Pythons" Well when i bought these I wasn't thinkin of al at all, but when I showed them to him today he flipped out! he has to have these drums for his band. He has been telling me about some old Rogers drums he has, a tom and a floor tom in blue sparkle. The have the rogers script badge on them. So I tell him he can have the Tamas for the $100 I paid and the 2 rogers toms. Anxious to see the toms now.

Can I get an AMEN???:rolleyes:
