Not THAT'S a nice looking drum kit! You sure don't see many Gold Mist Standards...I don't anyway. Nice job on cleaning them up!

Dang, those look nice. I loves me some gold drums. You most likely know, but the Ludwig Standard straight cymbal stand and snare stand are slick little pieces of hardware and worth the search.

Excellent. Think Standards are very underrated.

Hey Hawghunter! A beautiful set of Standards! These "mist" colors always fade over time, so finding one like this is rare. Is the Ludwig double tom mount and bass bracket original to the set? There has been a NOS Standard hi hat, complete in unopened box, on eBay for quite some time now. Here's the link...http://cgi.ebay.com/1960s-LUDWIG-STANDARD-HI-HAT-MINT-ORIG-UNOPENED-BOX-/150641968423?pt=Vintgae_Drums_Percussion&hash=item2312f60527 Not too pricey when you consider the condition and how great it would look with your kit. And...I believe I have a Standard snare stand in excellent condition. Let me know if you're interested!
