8” x 12” rack tom
14” x 14” floor tom
14” x 20” bass drum
5” x 14” jazz festival snare drum
drums are in amazing, barely played condition to the point where the bass drum hoops don’t even need a touch up. serial numbers are all very close and first 3 numbers are consecutive -
serial #’s:
346416 - 20” Bass Drum
346314 - 12 Rack Tom
346083 - 14 Floor Tom
346427 - Snare Drum
white interiors, white felt mufflers, all drums are complete with original ludwig parts and even some original ludwig heads.
the drums in fantastic condition and proudly one of the cleanest kits from any brand I’ve ever had to offer.
unfortunately it seems some fool back in the day thought it would be a good idea to try and turn the 14” floor tom into a snare! (sigh…) It seems said fool had drilled very tiny holes to put a throw off and a butt plate on the drum. luckily he did not cut snare beds into the drum and eventually re thought the whole idea. the holes have been filled and are very very hard to even see, please view the pics. this pains me greatly as this kit would be a museum piece time capsule if it wasn’t for this moronic boob’s alteration. luckily, the holes are very tiny and hard to even photograph and are literally barely noticeable. i do have a small piece of original champagne sparkle to patch them but again they are so small it would be fairly difficult to even do.
the tom, kick and snare are in incredible condition otherwise. the snare is collector’s grade for sure.
anyway, the kit sounds fantastic, displays beautifully and is by far the cleanest downbeat kit i’ve ever offered.
selling this set with the original flat base snare drum stand, speed king pedal, porto throne and cymbal L arm
