Decent drum score...

Posts: 2444 Threads: 288

Was at a local music store and heard a guy asking associate if they bought used kits, I immediately said "I do!" We got to talking exchanged numbers on Saturday and sealed the deal tonight.

Included in package was:

22" Istanbul k (late 50's I believe), 15" Istanbul K hi hats (similar age), Paiste 18 and 20 inch black labels, 16" Zildjian 1960's

Ludwig B/O 26, 16, 18 and 13 & 14 concert toms, 15" KB Tom, 6.5x 14 Lidwig Super Sens. A Coronet 5 piece, assorted Ludwig flat base stands and a 1970's Ludwig logo bass drum head.

Drums have a lot of corrosion and Thermogloss finish has issues (except for concert toms), but all in all a great project and some stuff to flip.

Been a while since I got a nice deal on some older American drums. Thinking about re-wrapping in silver sparkle or letting a fellow forum member adopt them...decisions, decisions.

Its better to have people think you're an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove them wrong, unless you doubt yourself then speak away....

Congrats on the [COLOR="Red"]great[/COLOR] drum score. I saw a Ludwig b/o kit 22,12,13,16 at the Chicago show last year in maple thermogloss finish just as you described. He wanted 400 for the drums only so I passed on it. I wish I would have bought it now, that finish would be easy and fun to match. This kit you found would make a great Bonham kit, just convert the 14 ct into a regular tom and your off and running. I'm jealous, would love to find that exact set. Could you post a few pics for us please?


Thank you!

VintageDrumBug has 1st crack on the Ludwig kit. He's a HUGE Bonham fan and loves 26" kits. I'll keep my eye out for a 16" locally for ya.

I'm sure for a wood guy like you the finish would be easy. I talked to my buddy at OnTheEdge Drum Services and he said recreating the Thermogloss finish is fairly labor intensive and he said if I paid for wrap, he'd wrap 'em for free. I still don't know exactly what I'm going to do with them as of yet.

Bonus was a NOS slightly used 26 inch Ludwig reso head!!

Nice project for someone, i too like those 26`s. Gary get rid of that electrical outlet about the sink man! Good setup for someone to get hurt, or burn all of your drums up. Tommy

It's a GFI and surge protected. Did it myself and it's mostly a hand sink for washing my hands when in the garage. Thanks for the concern!

Mark, the top painted label is worn, weighs about 1400 grams I believe. I'm guessing a Crash. A little mushrooming on the hole and a nick on the edge, but it's all Classic 2002.....and For Sale!!

Well, your friend is probably much more educated on the actual process that Ludwig did to get that look. I just know I could match the color and make them look really close to original. If your selling them could you pm me a price you would have in mind, I really love them.


Thank you!
