Crazy Vintage Ludwig and K Zildjian Istanbul Score!

Posts: 759 Threads: 176

When it rains it pours here in the desert! It seems like I can go forever with out finding any good vintage drum deals and then bam!

Anyway this one is a crazy mixed bag I picked up on C-list yesterday. Definitely going to have some questions for the forum on some of this stuff but wanted to show you the whole take first.

The drums:

1963 Gold Sparkle Jazz Combo Snare, 12 inch Rack Tom and 20 inch Kick and

1976 Gold Sparkle 13 inch Rack, and 16 inch Floor Tom.

Kick is modified but everything else is in excellent shape with what I believe are original heads all the way around.

Some awesome WFL Hardware:

And really the best score of the whole package my first K Zildjian Instanbul Cymbals! 14 inch Hi Hats and 16 inch Crash in great shape:

Can anyone ID what vintage these K stamps are? I am so bad with ID'ing cymbals. Here are the 3 different stamps from the Crash and Hi Hats

That may be a pretty scarce downbeat snare,that originally came with the downbeat kit.If it measures 4x14, It very well may be one.

But great score..

It's actually the 3x13 Jazz combo. 6 lug and no dampener. I actually think it is more rare then the downbeat but does not command as much money.

The cost of the sale was $450.00. Had no idea the Zidjians were K Istanbul till I got home.
